Sorry, all, this is a test post to check message delivery. Just so I don't completely waste your time, here's a tale.
From "The Story of 'aBruguma's Marriage to Kesar", part of the Tibetan Kesar Saga:
...Kesar soon found the yak Riri and flattered him much. He called him his father and said that he, his son, was frightened by his large horns. The yak readily threw off both his horns, and Kesar went near him.
One day Kesar ate some sugar-bread, and when the yak Riri asked him what he was eating, he said: "I took out my right eye and I am eating it. It is very sweet." The yak wished to taste it, and Kesar gave him some sugar-bread instead. The yak now desired to eat his own right eye, which Kesar took out and quickly gave him some sugar-bread instead. In the same manner the yak also lost his left eye. When he was blind, Kesar gave him only poisonous grass and water, until the yak became quite dizzy. To be cured, the yak wished to bring an offering of the pencil-cedar, which Kesar lit under his belly, so that all the yak's skin came off.
Then Kesar dug a pit which was covered with a thin roof, and told the yak to try to catch him. The yak made only three steps and fell into the pit. There he was killed with arrows and a spear. ...
