` Now , ' said the cunning creature to himself , ' I shall be able in the dark to steal his meat ! ' But the rabbit had grown as cunning as he , and standing in a corner hid the meat behind him , so that the baboon could not find it . ' O Gudu ! ' he cried , laughing aloud , ` it is you who have taught me to be clever . ' And calling to the people of the house , he bade them kindle the fire , for Gudu would sleep by it , but that he would pass the night with some friends in another hut . It was still quite dark when Isuro heard his name called very softly , and , on opening his eyes , beheld Gudu standing by him . Laying his finger on his nose , in token of silence , he signed to Isuro to get up and follow him , and it was not until they were some distance from the hut that Gudu spoke . ' I am hungry and want something to eat better than that nasty porridge that I had for supper . So I am going to kill one of those goats , and as you are a good cook you must boil the flesh for me . ' The rabbit nodded , and Gudu disappeared behind a rock , but soon returned dragging the dead goat with him . The two then set about skinning it , after which they stuffed the skin with dried leaves , so that no one would have guessed it was not alive , and set it up in the middle of a lump of bushes , which kept it firm on its feet . While he was doing this , Isuro collected sticks for a fire , and when it was kindled , Gudu hastened to another hut to steal a pot which he filled with water from the river , and , planting two branches in the ground , they hung the pot with the meat in it over the fire . ` It will not be fit to eat for two hours at least , ' said Gudu , ` so we can both have a nap . ' And he stretched himself out on the ground , and pretended to fall fast asleep , but , in reality , he was only waiting till it was safe to take all the meat for himself . ` Surely I hear him snore , ' he thought ; and he stole to the place where Isuro was lying on a pile of wood , but the rabbit 's eyes were wide open . ` How tiresome , ' muttered Gudu , as he went back to his place ; and after waiting a little longer he got up , and peeped again , but still the rabbit 's pink eyes stared widely . If Gudu had only known , Isuro was asleep all the time ; but this he never guessed , and by-and-bye he grew so tired with watching that he went to sleep himself . Soon after , Isuro woke up , and he too felt hungry , so he crept softly to the pot and ate all the meat , while he tied the bones together and hung them in Gudu 's fur . After that he went back to the wood-pile and slept again . In the morning the mother of Gudu 's betrothed came out to milk her goats , and on going to the bushes where the largest one seemed entangled , she found out the trick .
She made such lament that the people of the village came running , and Gudu and Isuro jumped up also , and pretended to be as surprised and interested XXXXX the rest .
