After him came the six hunters dragging between them the body of the lion we had killed.

They staggered with it towards the King, and I followed.
"I see the dwarf," he said.

"I see the dead lion and I see the hunters.
But where is my cousin?
Make report, O Bes." "O King of kings," replied Bes, "the mighty prince your cousin lies flat yonder beneath the body of that lion's wife.

She sprang upon him and killed him, and I sprang upon her and killed her with my spear.

Here is her tail, O King of kings." "Is this true ?" he asked of the hunters.
"It is true, O King," answered their captain.
