Then Pau Amma thought a little and said , ' I have made my choice . I will take all the gifts . ' Then the Eldest Magician made a Magic with the right hand , with all five fingers of his right hand , and lo and behold , Best Beloved , Pau Amma grew smaller and smaller and smaller , till at last there was only a little green crab swimming in the water alongside the canoe , crying in a very small voice , ` Give me the scissors ! ' And the girl-daughter picked him up on the palm of her little brown hand , and sat him in the bottom of the canoe and gave him her scissors , and he waved them in his little arms , and opened them and shut them and snapped them , and said , ' I can eat nuts . I can crack shells . I can dig holes . I can climb trees . I can breathe in the dry air , and I can find a safe Pusat Tasek under every stone . I did not know I was so important . Kun ? ' -LRB- Is this right ? -RRB- ` Payah-kun , ' said the Eldest Magician , and he laughed and gave him his blessing ; and little Pau Amma scuttled over the side of the canoe into the water ; and he was so tiny that he could have hidden under the shadow of a dry leaf on land or of a dead shell at the bottom of the sea . ` Was that well done ? ' said the Eldest Magician . ` Yes , ' said the Man . ` But now we must go back to Perak , and that is a weary way to paddle . If we had waited till Pau Amma had gone out of Pusat Tasek and come home , the water would have carried us there by itself . ' ` You are lazy , ' said the Eldest Magician . ` So your children shall be lazy . They shall be the laziest people in the world .
They shall be called the Malazy -- the lazy people ; ' and he held up his finger to the Moon and XXXXX , ' O Fisherman , here is the Man too lazy to row home .
