` Run for your life , ' he whispered to his companion ; ' I see the woman coming over the hill ! ' And the hedgehog , his heart beating , set off as fast as he could . The jackal remained where he was , shaking with laughter , for the woman was not in sight at all , and he had only sent the hedgehog away because he did not want him to know where the jars of butter were buried . But every day he stole out to their hiding-place and had a delicious feast . At length , one morning , the hedgehog suddenly said : ` You never told me what you did with those jars ? ' ` Oh , I hid them safely till the farm people should have forgotten all about them , ' replied the jackal . ` But as they are still searching for them we must wait a little longer , and then I 'll bring them home , and we will share them between us . ' So the hedgehog waited and waited ; but every time he asked if there was no chance of getting jars of butter the jackal put him off with some excuse . After a while the hedgehog became suspicious , and said : ' I should like to know where you have hidden them . To-night , when it is quite dark , you shall show me the place . ' ' I really ca n't tell you , ' answered the jackal . ` You talk so much that you would be sure to confide the secret to somebody , and then we should have had our trouble for nothing , besides running the risk of our necks being broken by the farmer . I can see that he is getting disheartened , and very soon he will give up the search . Have patience just a little longer . ' The hedgehop said no more , and pretended to be satisfied ; but when some days had gone by he woke the jackal , who was sleeping soundly after a hunt which had lasted several hours . ' I have just had notice , ' remarked the hedgehog , shaking him , ` that my family wish to have a banquet to-morrow , and they have invited you to it . Will you come ? ' ` Certainly , ' answered the jackal , ` with pleasure . But as I have to go out in the morning you can meet me on the road . ' ` That will do very well , ' replied the hedgehog .
And the jackal went XXXXX sleep again , for he was obliged to be up early .
