Abstract:
This section of MS 193290 contains a story of a bird and a hunter, and how the bird tries to give the hunter three advices in order to escape. The wise advices are told in order to instruct the reader on moral and social values, and comprise: 1- Do not celebrate before having achieved what you wished to achieve. 2- Do not believe in everything you hear 3- Do not regret what you have not received The same as for MS 193290f we find the use of both northern and southern dialects, although with the prevalence of Kimvita.
