ing. The second one of the friends saw the Hunger coming. Then 
the first one said: ‘‘There, the Hunger is coming!” But lo! the 
other one had seen her already. ‘* Now, I will jump at her. when she 
comes,” said the one; ‘‘I will take her mat away.” Her legs were 
long and her hair was thus. She had only a little hair, but it was 
long. Then the Hunger came again. She came to the last house and 
looked into it. The children began to cry, and an old man died of 
hunger. She looked into all the houses, and came also to the house 
of the friends. She looked into it. Then the one of the friends 
thought: ‘* When will he jump at her?” She stood in the door for a 
long time and turned back again. When she had gone a long distance, 
the other one of the friends said: ‘* There, she is turning back again. 
She did not come to us. Maybe she knows that I am going to take 
her mat away.” Then the other friend thought: ‘* Behold! he did 
not see her. She stood in the door for a long time, but he says she 
did not come.”
