Soon they came to the banana-plant bearing lot of ripe fruit. The monkey climbed the plant, but before he could pick some bananas, the turtle cried, "Run, Sly Head, run! Here comes a man!" Instantly he came down and ran in a hurry. But the turtle could not run, and she caught the monkey's tail in her mouth and the monkey pulled her away.
When they were safe, the monkey said, "Slow Foot, that man did not catch you because I pulled you away." "O no, Sly Head, no!" the turtle said, "you were not pulling me. I was pushing you."
