For ten years he had cried (в течение десяти лет он плакал) and put ashes upon his head for his little nephew (и посыпал пеплом свою голову: «помещал пепел на свою голову», /тоскуя по/ своему маленькому племяннику), but now he was very happy to think he had returned (но сейчас он был очень счастлив думать, /что/ тот вернулся).

The boy then said to his sister, "Come, let's go home." When they arrived home they found their own uncle; he looked very old. For ten years he had cried and put ashes upon his head for his little nephew, but now he was very happy to think he had returned.
The boy then told the old man all that he had done (мальчик рассказал тогда старику все, что он сделал), who said, "Let us build a long house (давайте построим длинный дом)." And they did so (и они сделали так), and put in six fireplaces (и разместили в нем шесть очагов). Then the boy went back to the island for his people (затем мальчик вернулся назад на остров за своим народом) and brought them to the house (и привел всех в дом), where they lived peacefully many years (где они жили мирно многие годы).
