They did not know from where they had come. At last that woman 
took some of them away with her towards her home. They arrived at 
yonder place. She had ten women with her. Her brothers were glad when 
she arrived. Ten was the number of her brothers. And likewise ten were 
they whom she brought. Now her brothers fared well. They stayed there. 
Her brothers now had wives. 
After a time she set out again. A stag took her away with him. He 
did not like it when in turn other animals took her away. But the woman 
herself liked it. The stag was her husband. Then he made a nest for her 
and left her there. Then when the stag bellowed as he ran about, whenever 
he ran by below there, the woman taunted him as he went by. For he had 
no way of climbing up there to beat her. Then at one time, hither came 
that husband of hers and bellowed. He was all covered with scars here 
on his body where he had been attacked, and he was lean to the point of 
starvation. 
Then he told her; “Your brothers are starving to death. Now I 
shall go feed my body to them. Afterwards I shall come back to life,” 
he told her. 
“Very well!” 
Then she went to her brothers. 
“But they are not to crack my bones as they eat. They are to wrap 
them in a fresh hide; they are to put them away somewhere. When four 
nights have passed, I shall come running back.” 
So then she slew him. When four nights had passed, her brothers 
arrived. 
“So it is you who have come!” she said to her brothers. 
She wept; she grieved for her husband. 
So much of this.
