The next day the hunter lured the quails with his quail call as usual. But when he threw his net over them, they all raised up their necks at once, fl ew away with the net, and dropped it on a thorn bush. He could catch no quails at all! In addition, it took him the rest of the day to loosen his net from the thorns so he had no time left to try again!
The same thing happened on the following day. So he spent a second day unhooking his net from sharp thorns. He arrived home only to be greeted by his wifes sharp tongue! She complained, You used to bring home quail to eat, and money from selling quails. Now you return empty-handed. What do you do all day? You must have another wife somewhere, who is feasting on quail meat at this very moment!
The hunter replied, Dont think such a thing, my darling. These days the quails have become very unified. They act as one, and raise up their necks and carry my net to a thorn bush. But thanks to you, my one and only wife, I know just what to do! Just as you argue with me, one day they too will argue, as relatives usually do. While they are occupied in confl ict and bickering, I will trap them and bring them back to you. Then you will be pleased with me again. Until then, I must be patient.
The hunter had to put up with his wifes complaints for several more days. Then one morning after being lured by the quail call, it just so happened that one quail accidentally stepped on the head of another. He immediately got angry and squawked at her. She removed her foot from his head and said, Please dont be angry with me. Please excuse my mistake. But he would not listen. Soon both of them were squawking and squawking, and the confl ict got worse and worse!
