In a certain city there was a King, it is said. The King sends
letters into various countries to be explained. When they were sent,
no one could explain the things that were in the letters. When he
sent the letters, on the following day [the recipients] must come
near the King. When they come the King asks the meaning in the letter;
no one can tell it. Well then, he beheads the man.
Thus, in that manner he sent letters to seven cities. From the seven
cities seven men came to hand over the letters. He beheaded the
seven persons.
On the eighth day a letter came to the Gamarala. There is a girl of the
Gamarala's. When they brought the letter the girl was not at home; she
went to the village to pound paddy. Pounding the paddy and taking the
rice, when the girl is coming home the Gamarala is weeping and weeping.
