hungry; give me some of your food." He gave him some, and they both ate.

They went on until they were hungry. The good man said to his companion:
"Give me some of your food."
"Oh, no, my dear," said the bad one.
"I beg you to give me some of your food," said the good one.
"Let me pluck out one of your eyes," answered the bad one. He consented.
The bad one took his pincers and took out one of his eyes.
They went on until they came to a certain place. Hunger pressed them. "Give
me some of your food," said the good man.
"Let me pluck out your other eye," answered his companion.
"O my dear," replied the good man, "leave it to me, I beg of you."
"No!" responded the bad one; "no eye, no food."
But finally he said, "Pluck it out."
They proceeded until they came to a certain place.
