  1. (continued from previous page)
    After a long time the sons said that they would tell the people. The father grew very angry then because he did not want them to tell the people. So he he told the people that the sons did not know all about the making of it and that if they killed the sons he would tell them.
    He thought he would be able to escape away without telling it while they were killing the sons. When the people had the sons killed the father got sorry and he said that he would lose his own life before he would tell the secret of making the drink. So the people killed him and it is said that the three of them were buried under this flag.
