The Manslayer
The ManslayerA MAN committed a murder, and was pursued by the relations of the
man whom he murdered.On his reaching the river Nile he saw a
Lion on its bank and being fearfully afraid, climbed up a tree.
He found a serpent in the upper branches of the tree, and again
being greatly alarmed, he threw himself into the river, where a
crocodile caught him and ate him.Thus the earth, the air, and
the water alike refused shelter to a murderer.
