Menindor’s husband had also died, they said. He had opened his wife’s bag, or chest, and had seen the snake inside it. Her husband saw the snake and that was why he had died. And then a little boy had died. The reason for the boy’s death was that Menindor had prepared a magic flagstone and placed it in the lintel of the door to her house. Menindor’s magic stone had been removed from the doorway and this had caused the boy to die, they said.
