The king: "I will command. Cut off the horse's head; but take care of
yourselves that ye let no blood come to the ground, and bear the horse
out to my ship. Go then and bring to me the old man; but tell him
nothing of what has happened, as ye shall answer for it with your
lives."
They did as they were ordered, and then came to the old man, and told
him the king's message. When he came before the king, the king asked
him, "Who owns the house thou art dwelling in?"
