Where are you going to?” “I am going sight seeing along the way.” “Yes, and where are you to spend the night?” “At the place where sleep will overcome me; there I will sleep.” The girls then said: “And why not sleep here with our people?” “If you wish me to, I will.” “Yes, we wish it.” They then proceeded on to the house.
