 he thei'e laid down a bundle, a tilled bag that was very heavy. So now, 

 verily, he gave to his son, to the one who came from the other place, 

 this bundle and also this flute that he had won. and he also said: '" I say 

 that this shall belong to you both equallv, to thee and thy younger 

 brother." So now the youth took up the bundle and bore it on his 

 back by means of the forehead burden strap. So now he traveled 

 along to a place where he became tired and the sack began to be heavy. 

 So now he exclaimed, "It may be, perhaps, that I should t^ikea rest." 

 And so now he sat down and also examined it [the bag]. He thought, 

 "Let me, indeed, view them; for indeed they belong to me anyway."
