    when the sun would be setting to throw the spades into the little stream that passed at the foot of the hill. So they went to where their fathers were and just when the sun was setting they caught the spades and threw them into the stream. The moment this was done the stewards at once went home and they put the herdsmen out herding the swine and they all lived happily for ever afterwards.
