\ti The Adventures of Haxige (Frank La Fle'*che's Version)
\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--)
