“There are your other two children,” said Fin; “and do you know who stole them?”
“I do not.”
“I will tell you,” said Fin. “Have you a sister?”
“I had,” answered the king, “but we became enemies; and I know not where she is at this moment.”
Then Fin told everything that had happened in the night. “And now you have your three sons,” said he to the king.
The king made a feast, which lasted seven days and seven nights. Never had there been such a feast in the kingdom of the Big Men as that; and sure why not, for wasn’t it a great thing for the king to have his three sons home with him? When the feast was over, the king sent his men to carry all kinds of riches and treasures to Fin’s ship; and for three days they were carrying them. At parting, the king said to Fin, “If ever you need my assistance, you have only to send for it.”
Fin and his men sailed homeward then swiftly; and it was not long till they reached Fintra. The ship was unloaded; and Fin was glad, looking at his treasures, and thinking of his adventures in the land of the Big Men.
Some time after Fin had come from the land of the Big Men, he sent warriors to the chief ports of Erin to guard against enemies. One day his face was anxious and gloomy.
“You seem to be grieving,” said Dyeermud; “you would better tell us what trouble is on you.”
“Some trouble is near me,” said Fin.
