Elder Brother Moon, it is time for food. Where is your plate and cup? It's on the shelf. Where is the shelf? It has been burned by the fire. Where is the fire? It's been extinguished (killed) by the water. Where is the water? The ox has drunk it. Where is the ox? The tiger has killed it. Where is the tiger? The leopard has killed it. Where is the leopard? The cloud has killed it. Where is the cloud? Between the sky and the earth it disappeared. Water in the small pool has been completely drunk. All the grass in the pasture has been eaten.
