ManalVidu, a kind of sand-ridge house

The man of the lady is waiting outside a distance away. The friend maid says thus about her lady.

Usually she will be in play mood. Today she looks in sad.

Crane birds will be chatting in night-time being in their nest in on Palmyra tree in the littoral land. They have eaten fishes plenty in daytime in lagoons.

She used to play early morning on the littoral land. She picks water lily flowers smelling honey, from the water. Again she picks some bunches of leaves from the land. Mixing these both she will make leave-dress and wear decorating her waist. Then she will build ManalVidu, a kind of sand-ridge house in her play-mood on sand near sea. The crab lives in hole by the root of Kandal tree. It will come into her sand-ridge-house. On seeing these she will be always in happy mood. Today she is not happy.

You my friend don’t be sad. He will come soon.
