Then the girl [said], "You must bring and give me the milk of the
wild Elephant that is in the jungle; if not, I shall die."
After that, the lad having taken the coconut water-vessel, [68] and
having gone into the jungle, went near the Elephant calves. Then the
Elephant calves [asked], "What have you come for?"
This lad said, "Ane! I came to take a little milk from the Elephant
for medicine for me."
The Elephant calves said, "If so, you remain hidden there; we will
take and give it to you."
The Elephant calves having gone near the female Elephant, one Elephant
calf stayed near the Elephant's trunk; the other one drinks a little
milk, and puts a little into the coconut water-vessel. Having done
thus, and collected milk for that coconut water-vessel, it brought
and gave it to this lad. The lad having brought it, [69] gave it to
the woman, and told her to drink it. Afterwards the woman drank it.
In still a little time, again having said that she had an illness,
she lay down. That lad asked, "What are you again lying down for?"
The girl says, "Bring the milk of the female Bear (walasdena) in the
jungle. Should I drink it this illness of mine will be cured."
Afterwards, this lad, having taken the coconut water-vessel, and
gone to the jungle and gone near a Bear cub, said, "Ane! You must
take and give to me a little Bear's milk for medicine."
Afterwards, the Bear cub having said, "If so, you remain hidden there
until the time when I bring it," took the coconut water-vessel, and
having gone near the female Bear, drinks a little milk, and again
pours a little into the coconut water-vessel. In that way having
collected it, it brought and gave it to that lad. The lad brought
the Bear's milk home, and gave it to the woman to drink.
The girl having drunk it, in still a few days again lay down. The
lad asked, "What are you again lying down for (budi)?"
Then the girl [said], "Having brought for me the milk of the
Giju-lihini [70] which is in the jungle, should I drink it this
illness will be cured."
Afterwards the lad, having taken the coconut water-vessel and gone,
went near the young ones of the Giju-lihini, and said, "Ane! I must
take a little milk of the Giju-lihini for medicine."
Afterwards, those Giju-lihini young ones having told the lad to
remain hidden, in the very same manner as before brought and gave
the milk. The lad brought and gave it to the girl to drink. The girl
having drunk it said that the illness was cured.
Well then, these two persons have a boy (son). Still having said that
she had illness, this girl lay down. The lad asked her [about it]
in the same manner as before.
The girl said, "Having wrestled [71] with the Yaksani who is in the
jungle, should you come back after conquering, indeed, my illness
will be cured."
After the lad went into the jungle he met with the Yaksani. Having
met with her, the Yaksani said, "We two must wrestle to-day; having
wrestled, the fallen person (waeticci kena) will lose."
This lad said, "It is good," and having wrestled the lad fell, and
the Yaksani killed the lad.
Then at that place [where he planted it] the flower also faded. Well
then, the Gamarala sent the other younger youth on horseback to look
[for him]. When the youth was coming he met with the Yaksani who
killed that lad. Having met with her the youth said, "Give me (dila)
my elder brother," he asked.
