that evening when the man and the dog came into the cave, the woman told them all the story of the bargain while the cat sat by the fire and smiled. then the man said, ‘yes, but he has not made a bargain with me or with all proper men after me.’ then he took off his two leather boots and he took up his little stone axe (that makes three) and he fetched a piece of wood and a hatchet (that is five altogether), and he set them out in a row and he said, ‘now we will make our bargain. if you do not catch mice when you are in the cave for always and always and always, i will throw these five things at you whenever i see you, and so shall all proper men do after me.’
