They slept and slept, and when they awoke, the woman had been awake a long time already.
And when they were setting off to go home again, she paid them for their arrows with as much meat as they could carry; and when they went off, she said:
“Be sure you do not let any others come selling arrows.”
But in the meantime, the people of the village had begun to fear for those two boys, because they did not come home. When at last they appeared in the evening, many went out to meet them. And it was a great load they had to carry.
“Where have you been?” they asked.
“We have been in a house with one who was not a real man.”
They tasted the food they had brought. And it was wonderfully good to eat.
“That we were given in payment for one set of arrows,” they said.
“We must certainly go out and sell arrows, too,” said the others.
But the two told them: “No, you must not do that. For when we went away, she said: ’Do not let any others come selling arrows.’”
