The goat told the lion to bring him one large pot. The pot was brought. The goat put his hand in his bag, and he took out one bottle filled with honey. He placed the honey in the pot.

“You must put a cloth over me and the pot,” said the goat.

The lion did not know that the goat had honey; he thought it was water in the pot.

The goat took a spoon and gave the lion some of the honey in the pot, saying, “This is some of the water my medicine gave me.”

When the lion tasted the honey he said, “Oh, you are a doctor for true.”

The lion said, “I know you are a doctor now, so make me some medicine to wear around my neck.”

The goat told the lion that the medicine they wear around the neck is put up in leopard skin, and that he must kill the leopard so he could get some of the skin.

“All right,” said the lion.

The lion started after the leopard, and the leopard ran, and the lion after him, and the dog followed. So the goat made his escape back the other way.

So the lion dislikes the leopard, the leopard dislikes the goat, and the goat dislikes the dog.
