- Once upon a time, a man swallowed a lizard, and in a short time after, the man fell very ill.
He had to go to the Doctor. The Doctor did not tell him what was on him he told the man not to drink anything for some time. One day the doctor brought the man to the side of a spring well, and told him to lie down and open his mouth, but not to drink any water.
When the lizards smelled the water, they jumped out out his mouth and the man was cured. The old lizard had young ones in his stomach.
