At length, when two years and two days had passed since the maiden had led her kids to feed on the mountain and had been seen no more, Ruais, second son of Gorla, rose up one morning, and said: 'Time is long without my sister and Ardan my brother. So I have vowed to seek them wherever they may be.
But, instead of answering rudely, like both Ardan and Ruais, he thanked her, with courtesy, though he had no mind to heed her; and he listened to the warnings and words of his new master. Next day he set forth at dawn with the dun cows in front of him, and followed patiently wherever they might lead him.
Like Ardan, Ruais chose the large, unblessed cake, and set forth on his way, doing always, though he knew it not, that which Ardan had done; so, needless is it to tell what befell him till he too stood, a pillar of stone, on the hill behind the cottage, so that all men might see the fate that awaited those who broke their faith.
And his father answered: 'Better it had been if you had first asked my consent and that of your mother; but as you have vowed so must you do. Then he bade his wife make a cake, but instead she made two, and offered Ruais his choice, as she had done to Ardan.
