How Compare Macaque Got Malice Caught in His Own Trap 177

 Oneie moment, Compere Malice. You're going to have
some red fish, yes.,
 The next thing Malice knew he was thrown into the
air. He fell with a crash into a little ravine behind his house.
After having seen all the rainbow colors that there are,
he came to, so bruised all over that it's a wonder that he
didn't die.
 It seems that when something terrible happens to
Malice it gives him new ideas.
 After he pulled himself together from this fall, he said,
eIf I can't get even with that nasty Baleine, some one will
pay the consequences; if I can't eat her or her fish, I'll have
to find other kinds of meat., What he did was this; in the
very spot where he fell when Commere Baleine threw him,
he planted very sharp pointed pikes of logwood's heart to
cover the whole area, so that anyone who fell on them would
be stabbed to death.
 Now Malice went by the house of Commere Bceuf, the
cow, Bonjou' Commere Boeuf!, he cried from the gate.
cAnd the courage?>
 <Not good at all, Compere Malice! Since the drought
something to eat has became scarce.)
 -If you like red fish, why don't you go to Commere
Baleine's domicile? But be sure when she calls to ask who
you are to tell her that you're Compare Malice. You see,
Commere Boeuf, Commere Baleine and I are the dearest of
friends. In my name she'll give you all the fish you want.
But be sure you say you are Compere Malice when she
asks you.,
 SThank you, Compere Malice, thank you. I'll go to her
 right now.,
