\op no Thegiha
\tr (There were two Water-monsters, who killed the younger brother of Haxige.
 They flayed the body, and hung up the skin for a door.  They invited all the
 animals to a feast, when they cooked the body, dividing it among the animals, 
 thus bribing them to silence.  Haxige missed his brother, and went in search 
 of him.  He reached a creek, where two Woodducks were swimming.  The 
 conversation of the Ducks, and the account of the transformation of Haxige
 into a leaf, are given in the preceding version.  When he caught them--)
