In a certain country there are a girl and the girl's father, it is
said. While they were there, one day the man went to plough, saying
to the girl, "Bring gruel to the rice field." They spring across a
stream as they go to the rice field.
The girl, cooking gruel, pouring it into a wide-mouthed cooking-pot and
placing the pot on her head, goes away to the field. While going there
she met a Prince near the river. The girl asked at the Prince's hand,
"Where are you going?" Having told him to sit down and given to him
from the gruel, she said, "Go to our house and wait until the time
when I come after giving the gruel to father;" and placing the gruel
pot on her head she went to the far bank of the river.
