sn35.240:1.1 “Once upon a time, mendicants, a tortoise was grazing along the bank of a river in the afternoon.
sn35.240:1.2 At the same time, a jackal was also hunting along the river bank.
sn35.240:1.3 The tortoise saw the jackal off in the distance hunting,
sn35.240:1.4 so it drew its limbs and neck inside its shell, and kept passive and silent.
sn35.240:1.5 But the jackal also saw the tortoise off in the distance grazing.
sn35.240:1.6 So it went up to the tortoise and waited nearby, thinking,
sn35.240:1.7 ‘When that tortoise sticks one or other of its limbs or neck out from its shell, I’ll grab it right there, rip it out, and eat it!’
sn35.240:1.8 But when that tortoise didn’t stick one or other of its limbs or neck out from its shell, the jackal left disappointed, since it couldn’t find a vulnerability.
