On the following day after that the marriage took place. When not
much time had gone, one day when the father-in-law and the son-in-law
were getting ready to go and plough the rice field, they said at the
hand of the girl's mother, "Bring cooked rice to the rice field,"
and went to plough.
While ploughing, the father-in-law's goad having broken he went to the
jungle below the rice field to cut a goad. Then that girl's mother,
bringing the cooked rice and coming to the field, asked the son-in-law,
"Where, son-in-law, is your father-in-law now?"
Then the son-in-law said, "Ando! Mother-in-law, is there any stopping
in the field for him! There, On! A woman was beckoning with her
hands; he will have gone on that account;" and leaving aside the
quarter to which that man went, he stretched out his hand in another
direction. "He went there, On! You go, too," he said. Afterwards the
mother-in-law went there.
Then that father-in-law having come to the rice field [after] cutting
a goad, asked at the hand of that son-in-law, "Son-in-law, where is
your mother-in-law?"
Then the son-in-law said, "Ando! Father-in-law, is there any staying
here for her! Having brought and placed here the [mat] box of cooked
rice, there, On! A man was beckoning with his hand. She will have
gone on that account;" and leaving the quarter to which she went,
he stretched out his hand in another direction. "She went there,
On! You go too," he said.
The Gamarala, taking the goad, went there to seek the woman. That
woman is seeking the man; the man is seeking the woman. While seeking
him in that manner that woman came to the rice field, and asked,
"Son-in-law, hasn't he come yet, your father-in-law?"
