Nobody saw how many days he slept. When he woke up, the people asked him, he woke up and the people asked him: “How many years did you lie, do you know?” He said: “How do I know how many years I lay?” The middle brother said: “You turned out to be our brother-in-law and our sister’s ring came to you. You slept for a whole seven years. We all know for what you came. We have seven knives. When you order the seven knives, they will build a path and a house, they will make a city, they will do everything. Our sister turned up, today we will not kill you. We will give you these knives and axes, take the path back that you came on.”
