Agananuru 280

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.
