The tale of the flapping bat
talking to the civet cat:
You, my friend, you over there!
Could we both not make a pair
up in the baliti tree?
It'd be grand, for you and me!
Answered back the civet cat
to the strange inviting bat:
You, my friend, you high up there!
You are living, as I see,
up in the baliti tree,
at night and during the day.
This is what I mean to say:
I am staying here behind.
I am different from your kind!
The bat, after coming back,
found the cat who was now dead
in the water of the stream.
Queried the bat, asking him:
You, my friend, you over there!
Why is it that you are dead
on the sandy riverbed,
the side of the flowing stream?
Maybe hacked down by a blade
or shot by an arrowshaft,
by a swift and piercing dart?
Tell me please, I'd like to know.
Answered back the civet cat:
You, my friend, you high up there!
It is true that I am dead
on the sandy riverbed,
the side of the flowing stream.
But not hacked down by a blade,
not shot by an arrowshaft
or a swift and piercing dart.
The reason that I am dead
is because I took a bath
at the water in the West,
when the moon was coming up.
I was already too old!
That is why I went away!
