92.--THE SPARROW HAWK AND THE HÂKWÂ.
Sparrow Hawk catches many lizards, but does not attempt to catch Hâkwâ. Hâkwâ thinks Sparrow Hawk is afraid and sings taunting song. Sparrow Hawk is irritated and tells Hâkwâ he does not want to kill him, he is too dirty. Hâkwâ repeats his song four times. Hawk determines to kill Hâkwâ and takes little Hawk- to stone where he had sat and flies away. Hâkwâ again comes out and mistaking young Sparrow Hawk for old one, begins song again. Sparrow Hawk has made large circuit and swoops down on Hâkwâ, kills him, and carries him home. Hâkwâ is very fat, and Sparrow Hawk and brood live on him until latter can leave nest.
