Man has to give wealth to the girl
family to marry her, is the custom of that time.
Falling in love, a man decides to get
her married in any way.
The smart girl is wearing
Serinti-flower on her hair. She is enjoying watching crab running. She is wearing
bangles in hands. I think that I could not get her married even if I give a lot
of wealth to her father.
There is a way to get her marry me. I have
to renounce my residence; do service to her father; when he work in salt-field I
can work helping; when he fishing in the sea, I can help him fishing; when he
sleeps I can sleep along with him; I can obey his orders; I can follow him
where-ever he goes. In such a way I can get his sympathy. Then he may accept
her daughter to marry me. He is a philanthropist. He will share the pearls that
he brought sinking in sea to his followers at the sea-shore park. So, I will
fallow this method to her marry me.
