Title
The Jackal's speech, or, the Jackals and a springbok which the Hyena takes away from them
Collection
Summary
The Jackal and the Hyena' (in which piece there are interminable speeches by the Jackal) contains many allusions to other fables, and really forms part of the lengthy discourse of the Dawn’s-Heart, (L II.-19. 1710-1759, 20. 1760-1855, 21. 1856-1948). The foolish Jackals fight among themselves and the Hyena takes away their prey. A Jackal scolds and lectures the others and they then hunt, drink water and discuss their own doings and the doings of the Hyena. Other animals are discussed, such as the ||kaitchi, the |gipp (Proteles), the wild dog, the lynx, the cat, the lion, the old hyena and the doings of the hunter and his dog.
