he exclaimed . ` You have broken the spell that held me , and now come and get your reward , ' and , dismounting from his chariot , he led them down into the caves filled with gold and jewels , and bade Bellah and Houarn take as much as they wanted . When their pockets were full , Bellah ordered her stick to become a winged carriage , large enough to bear them and the men they had rescued back to Lanillis . There they were married the next day , but instead of setting up housekeeping with the little cow and pig to fatten that they had so long wished for , they were able to buy lands for miles round for themselves , and gave each man who had been delivered from the Groac ' h a small farm , where he lived happily to the end of his days . From ` Le Foyer Breton , ' par E. Souvestre . The Escape of the Mouse Manawyddan the prince and his friend Pryderi were wanderers , for the brother of Manawyddan had been slain , and his throne taken from him . Very sorrowful was Manawyddan , but Pryderi was stout of heart , and bade him be of good cheer , as he knew a way out of his trouble . ` And what may that be ? ' asked Manawyddan . ` It is that thou marry my mother Rhiannon and become lord of the fair lands that I will give her for dowry . Never did any lady have more wit than she , and in her youth none was more lovely ; even yet she is good to look upon . ' ` Thou art the best friend that ever a man had , ' said Manawyddan . ` Let us go now to seek Rhiannon , and the lands where she dwells . ' Then they set forth , but the news of their coming ran swifter still , and Rhiannon and Kieva , wife of Pryderi , made haste to prepare a feast for them . And Manawyddan found that Pryderi had spoken the truth concerning his mother , and asked if she would take him for her husband . Right gladly did she consent , and without delay they were married , and rode away to the hunt , Rhiannon and Manawyddan , Kieva and Pryderi , and they would not be parted from each other by night or by day , so great was the love between them . One day , when they were returned , they were sitting out in a green place , and suddenly the crash of thunder struck loudly on their ears , and a wall of mist fell between them , so that they were hidden one from the other . Trembling they sat till the darkness fled and the light shone again upon them , but in the place where they were wont to see cattle , and herds , and dwellings , they beheld neither house nor beast , nor man nor smoke ; neither was any one remaining in the green place save these four only . ` Whither have they gone , and my host also ? ' cried Manawyddan , and they searched the hall , and there was no man , and the castle , and there was none , and in the dwellings that were left was nothing save wild beasts .
For a year these four fed XXXXX the meat that Manawyddan and Pryderi killed out hunting , and the honey of the bees that sucked the mountain heather .
