For a time they desired nothing more , but when the next year began they grew weary . ` We can not spend our lives thus , ' said Manawyddan at last , ` let us go into England and learn some trade by which we may live . ' So they left Wales , and went to Hereford , and there they made saddles , while Manawyddan fashioned blue enamel ornaments to put on their trappings . And so greatly did the townsfolk love these saddles , that no others were bought throughout the whole of Hereford , till the saddlers banded together and resolved to slay Manawyddan and his companions . When Pryderi heard of it , he was very wroth , and wished to stay and fight . But the counsels of Manawyddan prevailed , and they moved by night to another city . ` What craft shall we follow ? ' asked Pryderi . ` We will make shields , ' answered Manawyddan . ` But do we know anything of that craft ? ' answered Pryderi . ` We will try it , ' said Manawyddan , and they began to make shields , and fashioned them after the shape of the shields they had seen ; and these likewise they enamelled . And so greatly did they prosper that no man in the town bought a shield except they had made it , till at length the shield-makers banded together as the saddlers had done , and resolved to slay them . But of this they had warning , and by night betook themselves to another town . ` Let us take to making shoes , ' said Manawyddan , ` for there are not any among the shoemakers bold enough to fight us . ' ' I know nothing of making shoes , ' answered Pryderi , who in truth despised so peaceful a craft . ` But I know , ' replied Manawyddan , ` and I will teach thee to stitch . We will buy the leather ready dressed , and will make the shoes from it . Then straightway he sought the town for the best leather , and for a goldsmith to fashion the clasps , and he himself watched till it was done , so that he might learn for himself . Soon he became known as ` The Maker of Gold Shoes , ' and prospered so greatly , that as long as one could be bought from him not a shoe was purchased from the shoemakers of the town .
And the craftsmen were wroth , and banded together XXXXX slay them .
