8.1 grew weak. And his elder brother's heart ached for him exceedingly; and he stood weeping aloud for him, for he could not cross over to where his younger brother was, because of the crocodiles.
8.2 Then his younger brother called to him, saying: "If you remember some evil thing, can you not remember some good thing too, or anything at all that I did for you? Ah, go to your house and
8.3 care for your herds, for I shall not stay in the place where you are; I shall go to the Valley of the Pine. And as for what you shall do for me: you shall come to look after me
8.4 when you learn that something has happened to me. I shall take out my heart and set it on the crown-top of the pine; and if the pine is cut down, and it falls to the ground,
8.5 and you come to seek it — though you spend seven years seeking it, do not let your heart grow weary; and if you find it, set it in a bowl of cool water, and I shall live again, and answer
8.6 what is done against me. You shall learn that something has happened to me when a jar of beer is set in your hand and it foams over; do not stand about waiting." And he went
8.7 to the Valley of the Pine; and his elder brother went home to his house, his hand laid on his head, his skin rubbed with earth. When he reached his house, he killed
8.8 his wife, and threw her to the dogs; and he sat in mourning for his younger brother. Now, many days after this, his younger brother was in the Valley of the Pine,
8.9 with no one beside him; and he spent his days hunting the small game of the desert, and came to sleep under the pine, on whose crown-top his heart lay, at evening.

8.1 grew weak and became wretched. And his elder brother's heart ached for him very greatly, and he began to weep loudly for him, because he could not cross over to where his younger brother was, because of the crocodiles.
8.2 Then his younger brother called to him, saying: "If you remember something bad, can you not remember something good too, or anything that I did for you? Ah, go to your house and care for
8.3 your cattle, for I will not stay in the place where you are. I will go to the Valley of the Pine. And this is what you will do for me: you will come to care for me
8.4 when you learn that something has happened to me. I will take out my heart and put it on the top of the crown of the pine. And
8.5 if the pine is cut down and it falls to the ground, and you come to search for it, do not grow weary of heart, even if you spend seven years searching for it. But
8.6 if you find it, put it in a bowl of cool water, and then I will live again, and I will answer the harm done to me. You will learn that something has happened to me
8.7 when a jug of beer is put in your hand and it foams over. Do not stand around when it happens to you." Then he went to the Valley of the Pine, and his elder brother went home,
8.8 his hand on his head, smeared with earth. That is how he came to his house. Then he killed his wife and threw her to the dogs, and he sat in mourning for his younger brother. After many days,
8.9 his younger brother was in the Valley of the Pine, with no one with him. He spent his days hunting the game of the hills, and he came to sleep in the evening under the pine, on the top of whose crown his heart was.
