DescriptionA tapir finds a tortoise eating his umari fruit, and stomps him deep into the mud. After being buried for a long time, the tortoise emerges and goes to look for the tapir. As he comes across the tapir's trail, he asks the leaves and other things where the tapir went; they direct him on. At last he finds the tapir sleeping. The tortoise bites onto the tapir's genitals and kills him.
