    (continued from previous page)
    would not leave his son go and he sent one of his men. The Gúbán put down on the paper "Crooked against Crooked" and "Straight against Straight". When the boy's wife saw this she knew what was wrong and she told the King's man to stoop into a big chest and that he would get the instrument there. He fell into the chest and she locked him inside in it. She wrote to the King and she said that she would not leave the man back until her husband and his father would come home. So they came.
