"Good Shoulder did not say this: / That in form, color, and birth, / Having great strength and surpassing all, / Good Tooth cannot be good. / If one heeds unprofitable words / And believes another's tale-bearing between parties, / One's close relations naturally break apart / And turn into enemies. / If one has known the truth, / One should extinguish anger and vexation. / Now let us speak with utmost sincerity / So that our bodies obtain benefit. / Now we should properly subdue / And eradicate this bad acquaintance; / Let us kill this jackal / Who sows discord between us."
