Hann þekkti hverja laut og hvern stein á leiðinni.
He knew every hollow and every stone along the way.
Eitt haustið kom þoka sem lagðist yfir allt.

Hinir gangnamennirnir sneru við og biðu.

Hann kom niður daginn eftir með allt féð.
He came down the next day with all the sheep.
Enginn skildi hvernig hann rataði í þokunni.
