And there he was exerting himself as he danced, (singing) "kûufan 'an 'an 'an." He turned his buttocks toward them, he was about to break wind. And wham! They jabbed him. Then he fell down, when they jabbed him in the buttocks with a digging stick. Then they carried off their brodiaeas, they ran home. They fled. So that's all.
