1. Somewhere in that same town, there lived another youth, who also had
an amiable sister. 2. One convenient day, she accompanied him for a
ride in a vehicle drawn by a fast horse. 3. When they reached ("alvenis
al") the bridge, this girl also was frightened for some reason, the
same as the girl in the other story. 4. She said "I do not intend to
complain, but the carriage will certainly be too heavy while we are
in it. I am afraid that that bridge is dangerous, so I will jump out
and walk. I will also pick ("kolektos") some sort of flowers, among
the flowers growing there, near where someone's horses are grazing.
I will not delay ("atendigi") you long." He replied, "That bridge is
entirely safe ("nedangxera") but instead of explaining ("making-clear")
to you about it, I will lead the horse across the bridge, while you
walk across, for I am not indifferent to your fear." Then he helped his
sister get out ("eliri") of the carriage, and guided the horse across.
Then he said with a pleasant smile, "It was not necessary to cross on
foot." She replied, "No, but you showed yourself a courteous brother,
and were very patient." Then they rode on ("antauxen"), and talked to
each other very amiably.
