Hare gave Hyena his large basin. He also gave Hyena a small basin. Hare said, “Your basin gave birth to a young one and since we are friends, I am giving you the two of them.” Hyena was happy and accepted the two basins.

A few days later, Hare wanted to water his donkey and again he went to Hyena for help. Hyena thought, “Since I will get an extra basin, I will give him my basin straight away!” Hare took Hyena’s big basin and went to water his donkey. Afterwards he took Hyena’s basin home with him.

Hyena waited to collect his basin from Hare. He wanted to give it time to give birth to a young one! When Hyena went to Hare’s home to collect his basin, Hare said, “Hyena, my friend, I was just about to come to deliver the bad news. Your basin died two days ago. You know that all things that live, also die!”
