While a deer was eating wild fruit, he heard an owl call "Haak, haak" (a spear), and a cricket cry, "Wat" (surround) and, frighten he fled. In his flight he ran through the trees up into the mountains and into streams. In one of the streams the deer step upon a small fish and crush it almost to death. Then the fish complain to the court, and the deer, owl, cricket, and fish had a lawsuit. In the trial came out this evidence.

As the deer fled, he ran into some dry grass and the seed fall into the eye of a wild chicken and the pain of the seed in the eye of the chicken cause it to fly up against a nest of red ants. Alarm the red ants flew out to do battle and in their haste bit a mongoose. The mongoose run into a vine of wild fruit and shook several pieces of it on the head of a hermit who sit thinking under a tree. "Why did you, O fruit, fall on my head?" cry the hermit. The fruit answer: "We did not wish to fall a mongoose run against our vine and threw us down." And the hermit asked, " O mongoose, why did you throw the fruit?" The mongoose answered: "I did not wish to throw down the fruit, but the red ants bit me, and I ran against the vine." The hermit asked, " O ants, why did you bite the mongoose?" The red ants replied: "The hen fly against our nest and angered us." The hermit asked: " O hen, why did you fly against the red ants' nest?" And the hen replied: "The seed fell into my eyes and hurt me." And the hermit asked, " O seed, why did you fall into the hen's eyes?" And the seed replied: "The deer shook me down." The hermit said unto the deer, "O deer, why did you shake down the seed?" The deer answered: "I did not wish to do it, but the owl call frightening me and I ran. "O owl" ask the hermit, "why did you frighten the deer?" The owl replied: "I called, but as I am accustomed to call the cricket too call."

Having heard the evidence, the judge said, "The cricket must replace the crush parts of the fish and make it well as he, the cricket has call and frighten the deer. The cricket is smaller and weaker than the owl or the deer therefore has to bear the penalty.
