    But own-en came out of the sack, and then he put in a big stone to it, then he laid down the sack again and ran home for all his best. When the big smith cam out of the house he threw the sack upon his back again, and went away to the sea, then he threw the sack into the sea, thinking he had small own-een drowned. When he went hom he got a great fright to see his brother at home before him.
