The poor husband was stupefied by
this request, and asked his better half

the only answer Dame Weasel made
was to toss the child into his arms and
disappear.
She went to seek the earth worm,
and said to him: Gossip, my grounds
are full of turf help me to shake it up a

As soon as the earth-worm began TO
burrow, Dame Weasel called q hen;
Gossip" said she, my turf is full of
earth-worms, come and help mo get
rid of them"
The ben hurried to the spot ate the
earth-worm and began to scratch up
the soil
A little farther on Dame Weasel met
the cat. Gossip" said she, "there are
some hens in my garden; while l am
away suppose you take walk in that
direction"
The next moment the cat had eaten
the hen.
While the cat was RECALLING herself,
Dame Weasel said to the dog: GOOD
sir, will you leave the cat in possession
of such wide DOMAINE"
The dog, furious, rushed to kill the
cat, not wishing any one but himself to
be lord of our country.
The lion now passing by, Dame Wea-
sci saluted him with profound respect,

Whereupon the lion full of jealousy,
fell upon the dog and devoured him.
II waa now the elephants turn: Dame
Weasel begged mis- support against the
lion, and the elephant entered as pro-
tecter on the grounds of the supplicant.
But he did not know that the pei fidious
weasel had dug a deep hole in her gar
den and covered it with underbrush.
The elephant fell into the snare and
killed himself by the fall; the lion who
feared the elephant, ded to the forest.
Dame Weasel now had the elephants
skin, and showed it 10 her husband say

The husband of Dame Weasel had
