"Here, husband, is the lota of water: Here, husband, is the tooth stick; Come, and wash your hands: If you are angry with me Take me back to my father and mother." But Sahde Goala was ploughing at the head of his men and paid no attention to her: then she sang again: "Seven hundred labourers And twenty hundred women labourers, You are causing to die of thirst."
The Birburi agreed and tried and tried again to get the Rani across without wetting her, but the flood was too strong, so at last he gave in and Sahde Goala took her back with him to their former home. And so ends the story. XXX. The Raja's Son and the Merchant's Son.
So at his behest the sun delayed its setting for an hour, and the great crowd which had assembled saw all the grand ceremonies. The next day Sahde and his bride set off home and it took them three days to reach the place where he lived.
Before they left they had invited the princess's father to come and see them; accordingly a day or two later he set out, but it took him three months to accomplish the distance which Sahde Goala had traversed in three days.
The prince had no answer to give her and after this lesson gave up all idea of beating his bride. XXIX. Sahde Goala. Once a marriage was arranged between Sahde Goala and Princess Chandaini and on the wedding day when it began to get dusk Sahde Goala ordered the sun to stand still. "How," said he, "can the people see the wedding of a mighty man like myself in the dark?"
But still Sahde Goala paid no attention. Then Chandaini Rani got angry and by leaning the basket against the murup tree managed to get it on to her head again and carried it home, and from that time murup trees grow slanting. Directly she had taken the rice and relish to the house she set off again to run away to her mother.
She spread the cover on the table, and he advised her, as he saw she wished, against putting anything in the corners; just run a line of her stitch around the edge, he said. "Mr. Fulkerson and Ah, why, we've been having a regular faght aboat it," she commented. "But we both agreed, fahnally, to leave it to you; Mr. Fulkerson said you'd be sure to be raght. Ah'm so glad you took mah sahde.
