Reynard now had to run away, because a hunter and his dogs were on his trail, and this situation did not please him. The hunter set four dogs after the fox, and they soon found him. He even had to abandon the cheese, so his friend Dizelin could claim his right to it after all. The dogs were nearly on him, and Dizelin did what he could to cause him problems, shouting at him in fury, “They tell me that dirty deeds can be paid back in full, and that's what has happened to you—friend!” Reynard twisted away from the dogs, but the crow didn't lose interest in the matter but pointed the dogs toward Reynard's tail. This was not the best thing that could happen to him, and the dogs tore at him while the hunter egged them on. It was time for some clever trickery; Reynard spotted a fallen tree trunk and slipped under it, the dogs all jumped over it, with the hunter after them, and Reynard escaped into the forest. [285–312]
