So some time after this, wayfaring men found the goslings strewn about dead, and the home-geese broken-winged; and this was in autumn. Asmund was mightily vexed hereat, and asked if Grettir had killed the fowl: he sneered mockingly, and answered "Surely as winter comes, shall I Twist the goslings' necks awry. If in like case are the geese, I have finished each of these."
Then Grettir betook himself to watching the home-geese; fifty of them there were, with many goslings; but no long time went by before he found them a troublesome drove, and the goslings slow-paced withal. Thereat he got sore worried, for little did he keep his temper in hand.
Grettir grew up at Biarg till he was ten years old; then he began to get on a little; but Asmund bade him do some work; Grettir answered that work was not right meet for him, but asked what he should do. Says Asmund, "Thou shalt watch my home-geese." Grettir answered and said, "A mean work, a milksop's work." Asmund said, "Turn it well out of hand, and then matters shall get better between us."
