Then Soongoora burst out laughing, and shouted: "Oho, Mr. Simba!
Simba, the lion, has passed this way, and I think he must be looking for me."
You told me this honey was yours; am I right in suspecting that it belongs to Simba?"
Just then Mr. Simba, who owned the honey, came out again, and, looking up, inquired, "Who are you, up there?"
After waiting a minute or two, Simba roared out, "Well, come down, I say!" and, there being no help for it, the big rat came down.
Simba Kongway went away, but soon returned with some game he had caught, and then he brought some fire, and the young man cooked the game and ate it.
So the lion, being deceived, took him by the tail and whirled him around, but just as he was going to knock him on the ground he slipped out of his grasp and ran away, and Simba had the mortification of losing him again.
Immediately on hearing this, Simba carried Kobay to the water, placed him in the mud, and began, as he supposed, to rub his back; but the tortoise had slipped away, and the lion continued rubbing on a piece of rock until his paws were raw.
