` 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 . Anybody will tell you that ! If you like , I will ask those people who are digging there ! ' ` Very well , ' replied the sheep . And the jackal called out : ` Ho ! You diggers , tell me : Who was it you heard singing over the work ? '
` Why , it was you , XXXXX course , jackal !
