I shrunk back and took a few steps away, then I ducked down to let the reptile drink (without noticing me). When it had drunk its fill, it turned away to climb up the сrumbling stones on the slope, dragging its belly (now full of water) along the ground. I crept after it until I was beside it, and then I hurled a sharp piece of flint at it. When the flint hit it, it collapsed and tumbled back downhill, bouncing over sharp stones’ (CSOL III 10:23)
