" and soon the men of the village stood out to see the stranger . he was again told to enter the lodge of the chief , and his reception was in every respect the same as on the previous night . except that the young woman was more beautiful , and that she entertained him very kindly . although urged to stay with them , the mind of maidwa was fixed on the object of his journey . before daybreak he asked the young woman at what time the red swan passed , and to point out the way . she marked against the sky with her finger the course it had taken , and told him that it had passed yesterday when the sun was between mid - day and its falling - place . maidwa again set out rather slowly , but when the sun had risen , he tried his speed by shooting an arrow ahead , and running after it . but it fell behind him , and he knew that he had lost nothing of his quickness of foot . nothing remarkable happened through the day , and he went on leisurely . some time after dark , as he was peering around the country for a shelter , he saw a light emitted from a small low lodge . he went up to it very slyly , and , peeping through the door , he discovered an old man alone , with his head down upon his breast , warming his back before the fire .
the arrow fell behind him .
