Then:
"I am happy. I am living with good people. For this reason, I do
not wish to return to you.
In spite of that, you stay in the
vicinity of this mountain.
Then I will help you. Should
you be hungry at any time, I will give you deer. Nothing can harm
you.
Therefore, go back now. I do not wish to go back
among you but I do live with you."
