African folk tales: hunters, cats and crocodiles

a hunter hunted away, and while a place was roasting meat, a hungry cat came and asked the hunter to give it some meat.

it said, "it will repay the hunters in the future." the hunter met the cat's demands, and the cat walked away.

the next day, when the hunters were looking for their prey, they found a crocodile in the deep grass.

crocodile told hunters that it was too far from the water when it landed the previous day in search of its prey to return.

he said that if the hunter would help him, he would have fished five times to repay him.

the hunters used a rope to tie one of the crocodiles to the water.

the crocodiles thanked him for his thanks and said he would repay the hunter, and then jumped into the water.

soon, the crocodiles brought the hunters four fish, but it placed the fish closer to the water at one point.

and say it's tired.

last time, it put the fish in deep water and said she had no power to get to the shore and let the hunters go in and get it themselves.

but as soon as the hunter had walked into the water, the crocodile suddenly opened his mouth, bit the hunter's feet and dragged him into the water.

soon he was dragged to a small island to greet his brothers for dinner.

and the hunters said to the crocodiles from all sides: "i helped your friend, and he wanted to eat me.

do you say it is fair?" the crocodiles said to him: "let's hear four opinions before we decide whether it is fair or not." so the hunters asked for their opinion on a slab, a rag and an old horse that floated, to see if it was fair for alligators to do so.

the scavengers, the rags and the ponys are very angry at the fact that they are old or old and abandoned, and they say that if humans treat used objects justly, the crocodiles are fair to hunters.

and finally, the cat from the hunters came.

this is the last chance for hunters to consult.

the cat heard the hunter's description and said, "i don't know about that either.

i can't hear you on one side.

i need to hear what the crocodiles say.

crocodile complains that hunters tie it with rope and force it into the water.

cat says, i don't believe you.

you'd better let the hunter tie you up again.

let's go to the scene of the incident and practice it myself.

so they went to the place where the hunters rescued the crocodiles.

and then the cats let the hunters leave the crocodiles and the two left.

it doesn't matter what the crocodile screams.

the story is interesting, philosophical.

it allows us to learn from the grievances of rotting chairs, rags and old horses, and not to treat used things with new and old vices; it tells us to save ourselves with wisdom in times of crisis.

the story of the hunter saving a crocodile, like the story of the farmer and the snake, reminds us that there is favor and revenge in the world; cats use their schemes to get the crocodile back away from water, and are very similar to the stories of mr.

dong guo and the wolf, the fisherman and the monster.

the story implies that one of the enemies is evil and deserves it; two of the good should have greater wisdom than the wicked。
