"Give the money into mine own hand, that the reward be sure," he said, as though he toyed with the idea. "Not so," replied the boy. "First the boiled rice and the salt, and afterwards the payment. Thus is the way in honest dealings." The Burman shut his mouth tightly and exhibited signs of a return to his former condition of dumbness that worked upon the assistant like gall.
Much of this flour, however, was afterwards spoiled by weevils; nor did my spreading out the precious grain in the sunlight on tarpaulins and sails save it from at least partial destruction. I also brought ashore bags of beans, rice, and maize; cases of preserved milk and vegetables, and innumerable other articles of food, besides some small casks of oil and rum.
He saw that she took all the rice and fish out of the pots, and there were only dishes for them. "What is the matter with this woman that she does not leave any fish for her husband?" he said to himself. While they were eating Asibowan told him that she did not have a husband and Aponitolau smiled. When they finished eating, they cut betel-nut for them to chew.
Low spirits who cause people to become angry and to do little evil deeds. In some cases they cause insanity. Sarinago. Spirits who steal rice. It is best to appease them, otherwise the supply of rice will vanish rapidly. Tagasoro. Beings who cause sudden anger which results in quarrels and death.

Upon this being granted all bound themselves by spoken word that the matter should stand thus and thus between us until the gathering-in of the next rice harvest."
At last, the woodman turned round and declared he would not work any more unless his wife gave him khichri to his dinner; so with a very bad grace the old woman took some rice and pulse, some butter and spices, and began to cook a savoury khichri. What an appetising smell it had, to be sure! The woodman was for gobbling it up as soon as ever it was ready.
From thence, at the distance of a days journey I came to Centacola? the prince of which has no great riches; but the district has plenty of flesh, rice, and such fruits as grow in India; and to this place many Mahometans resort for trade. The king is an idolater, and is subject to him of Batecolah.
The soup tasted rather hot, but we added boiled rice to it, and, being very hungry, partook freely of it; and, in consequence of the overdose, we were delayed several days in severe suffering, and some of the party did not recover till after our return to the ship.
