Alone and helpless for three days in the underground darkness, the boy was a prey to awful fear, but at the end of the third day, having by accident rubbed slightly the tabo with his hand, at once a great sinio or multo stood before him, saying that he was the slave of the tabo, and that all things earthly were within his power.

At once mindful of his mother, he told the multo to take him home, and in the winking of an eye, still carrying the tabo in his hand, he stood before his mother.

The boy, from fear of the man, did as he was told, and when the ground opened, went down into the cave and got the tabo.

The daughter also went in to inquire for her mother, and as she admiringly touched the tabo the multo made her prisoner, and the two became the slaves of the young man and were never heard of again.
