MICHELSON.] MAN UNRELEASED FROM DEATH CEREMONIES 451 
Soon this (man) might be told, “You may marry (any one) if you 
desire her.” (They would be) young virgins. It would be well 
known that he behaved well. Then all his friends would associate 
with him. <Any of the young men would associate with him. They 
would always continue to come (and see) him. Of course he might 
not in any way be a jovial man, but nevertheless they would always 
come (and visit) him. It might be any one, women or men. That is 
what happens to aman if he behaves properly and if he properly 
observes the rules concerning widowers unreleased from death-cere- 
monies. He might be quiet after he became a widower free from 
death-ceremonies. And if he does not follow the rules concerning 
widowers unreleased from death-ceremonies when he becomes released 
from death-ceremonies, soon (friends) might come to (visit) him. 
He then feels as wretched as possible. That is what happens to him. 
That is the way it has always been related they used to do. The 
end of how it is told. That is an ancient word. The end.
