They said to the herdsmen, "Go and tell the master that</blockquote><blockquote>we did this". Still this was not enough. The next day they visited the camp</blockquote><blockquote>of the unfortunate thief. The nephew was of a quarrelsome disposition, and</blockquote><blockquote>said before departing, "Maybe he will show his anger. Then we will give</blockquote><blockquote>him a thrashing'". They came to the camp, and spent some time there talking</blockquote><blockquote>with the house-mates of the offender. He, however, sat quite silent and</blockquote><blockquote>looked at the ground.

After the visit, they went home and</blockquote><blockquote>divided the spoil. The young buck was given to the nephew. The son took</blockquote><blockquote>the team, and the father the remainder. The neighbors said, "It is enough</blockquote><blockquote>for him, because he lost something dear to his heart, the driving-reindeer"<ref name=":4" />.</blockquote>
