"Michael Ivanovitch the bear and his brother Levon Ivanovitch the wolf have been ready for a long time, and have brought presents of a sheep and an ox as greetings to his Excellency." "Get along, Squinteye," says the fox; "we are just coming." And so the fox and the cat set out together. The bear, up in the top of the tree, saw them, and called down to the wolf,
"That's a lie, Squinteye! You didn't see, so why tell lies about it? His honour is a wise gentleman, and will see who is telling lies and who is telling the truth, as in God's sight. . . . And if I am lying let the court decide. It's written in the law. . . . We are all equal nowadays. My own brother is in the gendarmes . . . let me tell you. . . ." "Don't argue!"
Do you go; you are bigger and bolder than I." "No, no, Levon Ivanovitch, I will not go. There is no use in risking one's life without need." Suddenly, as they were talking, a little hare came running by. The bear saw him first, and roared out, "Hi, Squinteye! trot along here." The hare came up, slowly, two steps at a time, trembling with fright.
Wolf the Red was King Olaf's banner bearer, and his station was in the prow of the Serpent, together with Kolbiorn Stallare, Thorstein Oxfoot, Vikar of Tiundaland, and others. Among the forecastle men were Bersi the Strong, Thrand Squinteye, Thorfinn the Dashing, Ketil the Tall, and Ogmund Sandy. Thirty of the best men were in the fore-room, in front of the poop.
And now ensued one of the sharpest combats that had been seen that day. Olaf's voice sounded loud above the tumult, calling to his chiefs in the bow to leave their station and resist the boarders in the waist. Wolf the Red, Ogmund Sandy, and Thrand Squinteye had already fallen, and Ketil the Tall and Vikar of Tiundaland had been sent below seriously wounded.
