“Why, surely it will not be difficult to eat them all, sweetheart!" was 
her answer to him. 
She went back. 
“How now, my sister-fellow-wife, how now?" 
“If we eat up the few berries, strawberries, there, then our sweetheart 
will cease to walk in his sleep. I saw him eating berries from the bush, 
and that is all we need to do, my sister-wife,” she told the other. 
They went there. 
“Come, my sweethearts, come in! When you eat these up, then stop. 
Then we shall go out of here.” 
Those giddy wenches liked the idea. So then they ate berries. When- 
ever they had in any place eaten them up, thither the partridge would 
run. The berries would be back on the stalk. At last those women sat 
like this, having overeaten. 
“Hey, sweetheart, you have defeated us! Push us headlong to the 
direction of the noon. You have defeated us. We promise to be good. 
When mortal men come into being, if one shall say, ‘ I have dreamt of a 
Giddy Woman,’ he will be telling the truth. Come, sweetheart, be quick!” 
“Well then, fling yourselves over!” he told them. 
As soon as they had flung themselves over, at once they went noising it 
yon way, going to a new abode after their defeat, the evil beings. 
That is the end of the sacred story.
