CAMEL. Tell me! I cannot wait! Tell me!
JACKAL. I cannot. I'll have to show you. It is on the other side of the
river.
CAMEL. Why, then, I'll swim across and take you on my back.
JACKAL. Just the very thing!
CAMEL. Come, then! It makes me hungry just to hear of sugar-cane.
[_He kneels for the Jackal to get upon his back._]
SCENE II
TIME: _a little later._
PLACE: _the sugar-cane field._

[_The_ CAMEL _eats the sugar-cane. The_ JACKAL _comes running into the
field._]
CAMEL. What! Have you finished your crabs?
JACKAL. I cannot eat another one! Are you not ready to go?
CAMEL. Ready! Why, I have just begun.
JACKAL. I'll wait for you outside the field, then.
[_The Camel nods and disappears among the cane._]
Now I do not wish to wait for him. I am in a hurry to get home, I am. So
I'll sing a little song I know. The farmer then will come and drive the
camel out.
[_He goes. Soon he is heard singing in the distance. Enter the_ FARMER
_and_ the BOYS _with clubs._]
FARMER. I see no jackal here!
A BOY. I am sure I heard him singing!
ANOTHER BOY. I heard him, too!
FARMER. We must look for him and drive him out.
[_The_ CAMEL _enters, eating cane._]
FIRST BOY. Look, look! A camel!
SECOND BOY. Look, father! A camel!
FARMER (_to Camel_). So it was you who was singing, was it? Drive him
out, boys! Quick! Beat him with your clubs!
[_They rush upon the Camel and beat him as he runs from the field._]
SCENE III
TIME: _a little later._
PLACE: _the west bank of the river._
* * * * *
THE JACKAL.
THE CAMEL.
