He ate a great many and went to sleep on the path, full to the brim. Presently an old woman who was collecting firewood came along and said "My child, why are you sleeping on the path like this?" He did not reply. So she said, "Wake up, the sun is setting." He said, "I don't want to, I am full." Then he said "Come here and listen to my song". So she came near and the baboon sang his song. "The sun is setting, wake up, wake up! Ha-hey-ha, old woman! She makes me laugh. I have discovered this hill here. Which is full of fruit, so I go here and there, eating my fill and laughing." Now when he had finished singing, he woke up, got up and followed the old woman all the way to her home. Son story.
