` Oh , good uncle , help me , I pray you ! ' she cried , as soon as she could speak . ` Why , what is the matter ? ' asked the greyhound , looking up with astonishment . ' I beg you to return with me , and frighten the jackal into paying me what he owes me , ' answered the sheep . ` For months we have lived together , and I have twice every day drawn the water , while he only poured it into the trenches . Together we have reaped our harvest ; and now , when the moment to divide our crop has come , he has taken seven parts for himself , and only left one for me . ' She finished , and giving herself a twist , passed her woolly tail across her eyes ; while the greyhound watched her , but held his peace . Then he said : ` Bring me a sack . ' And the sheep hastened away to fetch one . Very soon she returned , and laid the sack down before him . ` Open it wide , that I may get in , ' cried he ; and when he was comfortably rolled up inside he bade the sheep take him on her back , and hasten to the place where she had left the jackal . She found him waiting for her , and pretending to be asleep , though she clearly saw him wink one of his eyes . However , she took no notice , but throwing the sack roughly on the ground , she exclaimed : ` Now measure ! ' At this the jackal got up , and going to the heap of grain which lay close by , he divided it as before into eight portions -- seven for himself and one for the sheep . ` What are you doing that for ? ' asked she indignantly . ` You know quite well that it was I who drew the water , and you who only poured it into the trenches . ' ` You are mistaken , ' answered the jackal . ` It was I who drew the water , and you who poured it into the trenches .
