'' `` If they follow thee hot and blind , looking only at thy shoulders , those who do not die up above will take water either here or lower down , for the Little People will rise up and cover them . Now the Waingunga is hungry water , and they will have no Kaa to hold them , but will go down , such as live , to the shallows by the Seeonee Lairs , and there thy Pack may meet them by the throat . '' `` Ahai ! Eowawa ! Better could not be till the Rains fall in the dry season . There is now only the little matter of the run and the leap . I will make me known to the dholes , so that they shall follow me very closely . '' `` Hast thou seen the rocks above thee ? From the landward side ? '' `` Indeed , no . That I had forgotten . '' `` Go look . It is all rotten ground , cut and full of holes . One of thy clumsy feet set down without seeing would end the hunt . See , I leave thee here , and for thy sake only I will carry word to the Pack that they may know where to look for the dhole . For myself , I am not of one skin with ANY wolf . ''
