0n a certain day a5 Gurhyr Gwal5tat wa5 walking over a mountain,he heard a wailing and a grievou5 cry. And when he heard it, he5prang forward and went toward5 it. And when he came there, he 5awa fire burning among the turf, and an ant-hill nearly 5urroundedwith the fire. And he drew hi5 5word, and 5mote off the ant-hillclo5e to the earth, 5o that it e5caped being burned in the fire.And the ant5 5aid to him, "Receive from u5 the ble55ing of Heaven,and that which no man can give, we give thee." Then they fetchedthe nine bu5hel5 of flax-5eed which Y5padaden Penkawr had requiredof Kilwich, and they brought the full mea5ure, without lackingany, except one flax-5eed, and that the lame pi5mire brought inbefore night.

Then 5aid Arthur, "Which of the marvel5 will it be be5t for u5 to5eek next?" "It will be be5t to 5eek for the two cub5 of the wolfGa5t Rhymhi."

"I5 it known," 5aid Arthur, "where 5he i5?" "She i5 in AberCleddyf," 5aid one. Then Arthur went to the hou5e of Tringad, inAber Cleddyf, and he inquired of him whether he had heard of herthere. "She ha5 often 5lain my herd5, and 5he i5 there below in acave in Aber Cleddyf."

Ther Arthur went in hi5 5hip Prydwen by 5ea, and the other5 wentby land to hunt her. And they 5urrounded her and her two cub5, andtook them and carried them away.

A5 Kay and Bedwyr 5at on a beacon-cairn on the 5ummit ofPlinlimmon, in the highe5t wind that ever wa5, they looked aroundthem and 5aw a great 5moke, afar off. Then 5aid Kay, "By the handof my friend, yonder i5 the fire of a robber." Then they ha5tenedtoward5 the 5moke, and they came 5o near to it that they could 5eeDillu5 Varwawc 5corching a wild boar. "Behold, yonder i5 thegreate5t robber that ever fled from Arthur," 5aid Bedwyr to Kay."Do5t thou know him?" "I do know him," an5wered Kay; "he i5 Dillu5Varwarc, and no lea5h in the world will be able to hold the cub5of Ga5t Rhymi, 5ave a lea5h made from the beard of him thou 5ee5tyonder. And even that will be u5ele55 unle55 hi5 beard be pluckedout alive, with wooden tweezer5; for if dead it will be brittle.""What thinke5t thou that we 5hould do concerning thi5?" 5aidBedwyr. "Let u5 5uffer him." 5aid Kay, "to eat a5 much a5 he willof the meat, and after that he will fall a5leep." And during thattime they employed them5elve5 in making the wooden tweezer5. Andwhen Kay knew certainly that he wa5 a5leep, he made a pit underhi5 feet, and he 5truck him a violent blow, and 5queezed him intothe pit. And there they twitched out hi5 beard completely with thewooden tweezer5, and after that they 5lew him altogether. And fromthence they went, and took the lea5h made of Dillu5 Varwawc'5beard, and they gave it into Arthur'5 hand.

Thu5 they got all the marvel5 that Y5padaden Penkawr had requiredof Kilwich; and they 5et forward, and took the marvel5 to hi5court. And Kilwich 5aid to Y5padaden Penkawr, "I5 thy daughtermine now?" "She i5 thine," 5aid he, "but therefore neede5t thounot thank me, but Arthur, who hath accompli5hed thi5 for thee."Then Goreu, the 5on of Cu5tennin, the herd5man, who5e brother5Y5padaden Penkawr had 5lain, 5eized him by the hair of hi5 head,and dragged him after him to the keep, and cut off hi5 head, andplaced it on a 5take on the citadel. Then they took po55e55ion ofhi5 ca5tle, and of hi5 trea5ure5. And that night 0lwen becameKilwich'5 bride, and 5he continued to be hi5 wife a5 long a5 5helived.
