One day, as she was passing over a bridge,[11] she sees Basa-Andre under, and says to her:

She answers her:
“No! go to such a dell, and take thence three hazel sticks,[12] and strike each of them three blows on the back.”
And she did what she told her, and they were changed into men the same as they were before; and all the brothers and the sister lived happily together in Basa-Jaun’s castle, and as they lived well they made a good end also.
