There were the people of a town. There were two friends among 
them, one the son of a chief, the other a common man. There was a 
girl, the daughter of a chief of another town. She had a girl slave. 
Then one of the young men said to his friend: ‘‘ Come! let us go to 
that town to look for girls.” In the morning they went. That slave 
girl was pretty. The young men came to that town. The slave girl 
pleased the chief’s son. The common man was also pretty and that 
girl liked him, while the slave girl liked the chief’s son. The two went 
often to see them. Now the youth’s father heard about it. The chief 
heard that his son went after a slave girl. He was ashamed. Every 
morning he scolded his son. Both he and the young man’s mother
