But also , and at the same time , in those High and Far-Off Times , there was a Painted Jaguar , and he lived on the banks of the turbid Amazon too ; and he ate everything that he could catch . When he could not catch deer or monkeys he would eat frogs and beetles ; and when he could not catch frogs and beetles he went to his Mother Jaguar , and she told him how to eat hedgehogs and tortoises . She said to him ever so many times , graciously waving her tail , ` My son , when you find a Hedgehog you must drop him into the water and then he will uncoil , and when you catch a Tortoise you must scoop him out of his shell with your paw . ' And so that was all right , Best Beloved . One beautiful night on the banks of the turbid Amazon , Painted Jaguar found Stickly-Prickly Hedgehog and Slow-Solid Tortoise sitting under the trunk of a fallen tree . They could not run away , and so Stickly-Prickly curled himself up into a ball , because he was a Hedgehog , and Slow-Solid Tortoise drew in his head and feet into his shell as far as they would go , because he was a Tortoise ; and so that was all right , Best Beloved . Do you see ? ` Now attend to me , ' said Painted Jaguar , ` because this is very important . My mother said that when I meet a Hedgehog I am to drop him into the water and then he will uncoil , and when I meet a Tortoise I am to scoop him out of his shell with my paw . Now which of you is Hedgehog and which is Tortoise ? because , to save my spots , I ca n't tell . ' ` Are you sure of what your Mummy told you ? ' said Stickly-Prickly Hedgehog . ` Are you quite sure ? Perhaps she said that when you uncoil a Tortoise you must shell him out the water with a scoop , and when you paw a Hedgehog you must drop him on the shell . ' ` Are you sure of what your Mummy told you ? ' said Slow-and-Solid Tortoise . ` Are you quite sure ? Perhaps she said that when you water a Hedgehog you must drop him into your paw , and when you meet a Tortoise you must shell him till he uncoils . ' ' I do n't think it was at all like that , ' said Painted Jaguar , but he felt a little puzzled ; ` but , please , say it again more distinctly . '
` When you scoop water with your paw you XXXXX it with a Hedgehog , ' said Stickly-Prickly .
