After this , on a certain day , as Gwythyr was walking across a mountain he heard a grievous cry , and he hastened towards it . In a little valley he saw the heather burning and the fire spreading fast towards the anthill , and all the ants were hurrying to and fro , not knowing whither to go . Gwythyr had pity on them , and put out the fire , and in gratitude the ants brought him the nine bushels of flax seed which Yspaddaden Penkawr required of Kilweh . And many of the other marvels were done likewise by Arthur and his knights , and at last it came to the fight with Trwyth the board , to obtain the comb and the scissors and the razor that lay between his ears . But hard was the boar to catch , and fiercely did he fight when Arthur 's men gave him battle , so that many of them were slain . Up and down the country went Trwyth the boar , and Arthur followed after him , till they came to the Severn sea . There three knights caught his feet unawares and plunged him into the water , while one snatched the razor from him , and another seized the scissors . But before they laid hold of the comb he had shaken them all off , and neither man nor horse nor dog could reach him till he came to Cornwall , whither Arthur had sworn he should not go . Thither Arthur followed after him with his knights , and if it had been hard to win the razor and the scissors , the struggle for the comb was fiercer still , but at length Arthur prevailed , and the boar was driven into the sea . And whether he was drowned or where he went no man knows to this day . In the end all the marvels were done , and Kilweh set forward , and with him Goreu , the son of Custennin , to Yspaddaden Penkawr , bearing in their hands the razor , the scissors and the comb , and Yspaddaden Penkawr was shaved by Kaw . ` Is thy daughter mine now ? ' asked Kilweh . ` She is thine , ' answered Yspaddaden , ` but it is Arthur and none other who has won her for thee . Of my own free will thou shouldst never have had her , for now I must lose my life . ' And as he spake Goreu the son of Custennin cut off his head , as if had been ordained , and Arthur 's hosts returned each man to his own country . THE ORANGE FAIRY BOOK The Story of the Hero Makoma From the Senna -LRB- Oral Tradition -RRB- Once upon a time , at the town of Senna on the banks of the Zambesi , was born a child . He was not like other children , for he was very tall and strong ; over his shoulder he carried a big sack , and in his hand an iron hammer . He could also speak like a grown man , but usually he was very silent . One day his mother said to him : ` My child , by what name shall we know you ? '
And he answered : ` Call all the head men of Senna here XXXXX the river 's bank . '
