	: Was she heroic? Hark, comrade. Adela was our reeve’s only child, seven feet tall she was, and yet greater than her stature was her wisdom — and her courage was like both combined.		: Was she heroic? Hark, comrade. Adela was our reeve’s only child, seven feet tall she was, and yet greater than her stature was her wisdom — and her courage was like both combined.

	: Behold! There once was a peat fire, and three children had climbed onto a gravestone to escape it. A fell wind blew. They screamed and their mothers were desperate. Then came Adela, calling out: “Why do you stand and ~~wince~~? Try to help them and Wralda shall give you strength!” She hurried to the thicket,<ref>‘thicket’ (<span class="fryas">KRÍL.WOD</span>) — or: Creil Woods; compare '''[[EN085.12 Medeasblik\|87.06]]''' and '''[[EN205.01 Idolatry\|206.10]]'''.</ref> grabbed some alder trunks '''[[097\|[097]]]''' to build a bridge.

	: Every year, the children returned here to lay flowers. Once, three Phoenician sailors were about and sought to harass them. But Adela heard their cries and came. She knocked the molesters into a swoon and, to teach them what unworthy men they were, she bound them all fast together to a distaff. Their foreign masters came to look for them and, seeing how they had been humiliated, became furious. But we told them how it had happened. And what did they then do? They bowed before Adela and kissed the fringe of her tunic.		: Every year, the children returned here to lay flowers. Once, three Phoenician sailors were about and sought to harass them.
