Then thunder was heard and a veil of darkness descended upon them , and the castle vanished and they with it . When Kieva , the wife of Pryderi , found that neither her husband nor his mother returned to her , she was in such sorrow that she cared not whether she lived or died . Manawyddan was grieved also in his heart , and said to her : ` It is not fitting that we should stay here , for he have lost our dogs and can not get food . Let us go into England -- it is easier for us to live there . ' So they set forth . ` What craft wilt thou follow ? ' asked Kieva as they went along . ' I shall make shoes as once I did , ' replied he ; and he got all the finest leather in the town and caused gilded clasps to be made for the shoes , till everyone flocked to buy , and all the shoemakers in the town were idle and banded together in anger to kill him . But luckily Manawyddan got word of it , and he and Kieva left the town one night and proceeded to Narberth , taking with him a sheaf of wheat , which he sowed in three plots of ground . And while the wheat was growing up , he hunted and fished , and they had food enough and to spare . Thus the months passed until the harvest ; and one evening Manawyddan visited the furthest of his fields of wheat ; and saw that it was ripe . ` To-morrow I will reap this , ' said he ; but on the morrow when he went to reap the wheat he found nothing but the bare straw . Filled with dismay he hastened to the second field , and there the corn was ripe and golden . ` To-morrow I will reap this , ' he said , but on the morrow the ears had gone , and there was nothing but the bare straw . ` Well , there is still one field left , ' he said , and when he looked at it , it was still fairer than the other two . ` To-night I will watch here , ' thought he , ` for whosoever carried off the other corn will in like manner take this , and I will know who it is . ' So he hid himself and waited . The hours slid by , and all was still , so still that Manawyddan well-nigh dropped asleep . But at midnight there arose the loudest tumult in the world , and peeping out he beheld a mighty host of mice , which could neither be numbered nor measured . Each mouse climbed up a straw till it bent down with its weight , and then it bit off one of the ears , and carried it away , and there was not one of the straws that had not got a mouse to it .
Full XXXXX wrath he rushed at the mice , but he could no more come up with them than if they had been gnats , or birds of the air , save one only which lingered behind the rest , and this mouse Manawyddan came up with .
So as at by of on than that to with
