In another folktale from India a clever turtle saves a goose from a fowler with rubies and trickery. He offers the man a ruby for the goose. The man asks for two rubies. The turtle brings a second ruby from his pond, but then says "let me see that first one, to make sure they match."

In the meantime, the goose gets away, and the turtle dives into the pond with both rubies.
