The puma was furious and cried out : ' I will punch your head for that . ' But the monkey only answered : ` If you are gong to talk such nonsense I wo n't walk with you . ' And the puma was silent . In a few minutes more they arrived at the field were the men were reaping the maize , and the puma remarked as he had done before : ` Friend monkey , if you wish to please these men , just say as you go by : `` Bad luck to all workers . '' ` Very well , ' replied the monkey ; but , instead , he nodded and smiled , and said : ' I hope your industry may be rewarded as it deserves . ' The men thanked him heartily , let him pass on , and the puma followed behind him . Further along the path they saw the shining snake lying on the moss . ` What a lovely necklace for your daughter , ' exclaimed the puma . ` Pick it up and take it with you . ' ` You are very kind , but I will leave it for you , ' answered the monkey , and nothing more was said about the snake . Not long after this they reached the comrade 's house , and found him just ready to go to bed . So , without stopping to talk , the guests slung their hammocks , the monkey taking care to place his so high that no one could get at him . Besides , he thought it would be more prudent not to fall asleep , so he only lay still and snored loudly . When it was quite dark and no sound was to be heard , the puma crept out to the sheep-fold , killed the sheep , and carried back a bowl full of its blood with which to sprinkle the monkey . But the monkey , who had been watching out of the corner of his eye , waited until the puma drew near , and with a violent kick upset the bowl all over the puma himself . When the puma saw what had happened , he turned in a great hurry to leave the house , but before he could do so , he saw the shepherd coming , and hastily lay down again . ` This is the second time I have lost a sheep , ' the man said to the monkey ; ` it will be the worse for the thief when I catch him , I can tell you . ' The monkey did not answer , but silently pointed to the puma who was pretending to be asleep . The shepherd stooped and saw the blood , and cried out : ` Ah ! so it is you , is it ?
then XXXXX that ! '
