 the maiden, now a woman-being, gave birth to a child, which was

 mother of the maiden] said: "Moreover, what manner of person is 

 the father of the child?" The maiden said nothing in reply. 



The girl child grew rapidly in size. It was not long after this 

 that the girl child was running about. Suddenly, it seems, the girl 

 child began to weep. It was impossible to stop her. Five are the 

 number of days, it is said, that the girl child continued to weep. 

 Then the elder one [her grandmother] said: "Do ye show her the 

 burial-case lying there in the high place." Now, verily, they carried
