“Look, I beg you, if you see anything again.”
The husband looks back, and sees nothing; but in the clouds he sees something terrible, and tells so to his wife. And his wife says, taking her comb:
“Comb, with thy power, let there be formed where he is a fog, and hail, and a terrific storm.”
It happens as they wish. They go a little way farther, and his wife says to him:
“Look behind you, then, if you see anything.”
The husband says to her: “Now it is all over with us. We have him here after us; he is on us. Use all your power.”
She throws again a comb immediately, and says:
“Comb, with thy power, form between my father and me a terrible river, and let him be drowned there for ever.”
As soon as she has said that, they see a mighty water, and there their father and enemy drowns himself.[58]
The young lady says, “Now we have no more fear of him, we shall live in peace.”
