    home and to get his wife to fry a red herring for him. When he had the herring eaten he was to go to a stream but he wasn't to drink any of the water no matter how thirsty he would be. The man did as he was told and when he was at the stream for some time the lizard came out of his mouth and nine young ones after her. The man then went home as well as ever.
