So he sent for men with baling baskets and began to divide off the water with dams, but out of the water a voice was heard, singing; "Do not dam the water, father, Do not dam the water, father, Your daughter-in-law, the Ginduri fish is dying." At this sound the workmen were frightened and stopped; but Bhagrit made them go on, saying that whatever happened should be on his head.
But she nevertheless put the pieces into the pot to boil, when lo and behold, out of the pot jumped the pretty bonga girl. Then Bhagrit said to his neighbours. "You see by my persistence I have got a daughter-in-law" and she was duly married to Dukhu.
But one day she saw him disappear into the pool, and come out again. When she told this at home, Dukhu's father, Bhagrit, got very angry and decided to find out who made Dukhu disappear into the pool. He resolved to bale out the water and find out what was at the bottom.
LXIX. Dukhu and His Bonga Wife. Once upon a time there was a man named Bhagrit who had two sons named Lukhu and Dukhu; and Lukhu used to work in the fields, while Dukhu herded the buffaloes. In summer Dukhu used to take his buffaloes to drink and rest at a pool in the bed of a dry river. Now in the pool lived a bonga girl and she fell in love with Dukhu.
Nevertheless they cut it up, and Bhagrit divided the pieces among the workmen, but they were too frightened to take any and preferred to take the smaller fishes as their share. So he told Lukhu's wife to take up the pieces and wash them: and as she did so the song was heard: "Do not wash me, sister, Do not wash me, sister, The Ginduri fish is dying."
