evening the youth went home. Then they said: ‘* Perhaps he has 
killed him and has kept it secret.” Five times the youth went; then 
they followed his tracks. They came there and saw them shooting at 
a target. His father’s slaves came home and said: ** He is well. We 
found them shooting at targets.” In the evening, when it grew dark, 
the young man came home. The other one went into the water. Then 
they asked the youth: ‘‘ Why do you keep it a secret where he is?” 
He did not tell them. The young man went every day. They went 
after him again. When they came there, the youth said: ‘* People 
are looking at us secretly. I think you told them.” The other 
one replied: ‘*I did not tell them. They made me tired and asked 
me much.” The youth said: ‘*Tell them that while I stayed my 
father and my mother were ashamed of me. What do they talk? 
They always said that they were ashamed of me.” In the evening the 
one went home, the other went into the water. Then they asked him
