The King, after that man and girl went away, came and married
her. Having married her, and stayed a little time, in order to make
her a widow he went on a journey which delayed him six months.
Having waited until the time when he was going, what does this girl
do? Having made up her hair-knot on the top of her head, tying it
there, tying on a bosom necklace (malayak) like the Hettiyas, she
went to the sewing-shop. Learning sewing for the whole of the six
months, she sewed a good hat, putting a dirty cloth at the bottom
[inside it], and above it having fastened [precious] stones; it was
at the sewing-shop.
At that time, as that King, the six months having been spent, was
coming home through the middle of the street, he saw a costly hat
in the shop; and having given a thousand masuran, taking the hat and
placing it on his head, he went away.
Having gone, he said to the girl, "I caused thee to be in widowhood,
didn't I? I said so."
Then the girl said, "On your head you got my dirty cloth, didn't
you? I said so."
The King said, "You are not old enough [8] to get your dirty cloth
on my head."
