The tiger spoke. The tiger's voice was great. 

 The cow called three times. The female sun 



did not come out of the western border of 



the sky. 

 The tiger called three times. The male moon 



would not emerge out of the western 



horizon. 

 The cock crowed three times. 

 The female sun came out on the western 



border of the sky. 



The cock (again) crowed three times. 



The male moon came out of the eastern bor- 

 der of the sky. 



Gulo had no way of requiting the cock. 



There was only the comb made of mulberry 

 wood to requite the cock with. 



The cock was able to carry it and was not 

 able to v/ear it upon his head. 



The comb was stuck into his head. 



The teeth stuck upward toward the sky.
