The Carpenter's son said, "The Hettirala's son goes in the horse
carriage; I cannot go in an ordinary (nikan) cart."
Afterwards, the Carpenter having said, "If the Hettirala's son goes in
the horse carriage, am I not a Carpenter? Having made a better one than
that I will give you it," constructed a wooden Peacock (dandu mondara)
and gave it to the Carpenter's son. Afterwards the Carpenter's son,
rowing on the wooden Peacock [through the air], goes to school.
When they were thus for not a long time, the Carpenter died; the
Carpenter's wife also died. Afterwards this Carpenter's son thought to
himself that he must seek for a marriage for himself. Having thought
it he went rowing the wooden Peacock to a city.
There is a Princess of that city. The Princess alone was at the palace
when the Carpenter's son was going. Afterwards the Carpenter's son
asked at the hand of the Princess, "Can you (puluhanida) go with me
to our country?"
Then the Princess said, "I will not go; if you be here I can [marry
you]." After that, the Carpenter's son marrying [82] the Princess,
stays [there]. While he was there two Princes were born.
After that, the Carpenter's son said to the Princess, "Taking these
two Princes also, let us go to our country."
