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 as the rest . But they must have looked guilty after all , for suddenly an old man pointed to them , and cried : ` Those are thieves . ' And at the sound of his voice the big Gudu trembled all over . ` How dare you say such things ? I defy you to prove it , ' answered Isuro boldly . And he danced forward , and turned head over heels , and shook himself before them all . ' I spoke hastily ; you are innocent , ' said the old man ; ` but now let the baboon do likewise . ' And when Gudu began to jump the goat 's bones rattled and the people cried : ` It is Gudu who is the goat-slayer ! ' But Gudu answered : ` Nay , I did not kill your goat ; it was Isuro , and he ate the meat , and hung the bones round my neck . So it is he who should die ! ' And the people looked at each other , for they knew not what to believe . At length one man said : ` Let them both die , but they may choose their own deaths . ' Then Isuro answered : ` If we must die , put us in the place where the wood is cut , and heap it up all round us , so that we can not escape , and set fire to the wood ; and if one is burned and the other is not , then he that is burned is the goat-slayer . '
And the people did XXXXX Isuro had said .
