Meanwhile the water-sprites make a wigwam so beautiful that the like of it never was seen. The water-sprites are good friends with the birds; they collect them together; they say: "Fetch thorns, briars, burs, hornets of all sorts; do you bring them into the wigwam which they make for Lox, and hornets, ants and other winged stinging and biting things," and they spread out sharp flint rocks on the floor. They make for the bed of the bridegroom hornets (and), an ant-hill for his seat.
Now it takes Lox all day to untie the hair-string. When he comes down, it is already dark; when he sees the wigwam he is glad; he thinks: "Now I shall rest myself well." So when he enters he plunges into the briars which pierce his nose and the flint-stones which cut his feet; he roars long. He hears someone speaking; he thinks that it is the younger water-sprite. She shouts to him and says: "To my elder sister, go to my sister over there." When he goes, he steps on the ant-hill. That is worse than the briars. Again another one speaks laughing: "To my younger sister, go to my sister; she is younger than I." Then at once he runs furiously in the dark and so he stumbles over the hornets nest. This is the extreme and he knows that he is being mocked and then he gets angry. Then he became fierce (and) he goes off. Neither men nor beasts can ever get so angry.
