- (continued from previous page)she had no rest or peace till she had made up her mind to leave home and seek her brothers. On leaving she took nothing with her only a ring.
She went on till she came to the end of the World, and there was the Sun. But is was very very hot so she left that and went into the moon. Here is was quite cold and dismal. She heard a voice say "I small man's flosh." Then with fear she left the moon.
So she went into the stars where there was great welcome for her because her brothers were there. Then they all said "Good grant that our sister is here." Then they became young men again and they returned home with her.
