In the evening, as lazy and cunning as Tortoise is, he knew that pig must be on his way returning from the village market where he went to sale some of the crops he harvested from his farm as well as the food items that Tortoise asked him to buy.

When the Pig arrived at Tortoise house, he met tortoise at home who had connived with his wife to pretend that he was very sick as result of overworking in his farm earlier in the morning. The Tortoise wife lied to the pig that his husband was having high temperature and pains all over his body and that she is afraid that he may not be up this evening. She warned that the village doctor Cock which she had consulted had advised that he should be allowed to sleep peacefully and not be disturbed till the next day.

When pig heard this, he was moved with pity and he did not even care to ask the wife if the Tortoise had dropped any money for him to offset the foodstuffs he got him from the market. He rather promised that he would return the next day to get his money.
