Once upon a time, when some people were on the trek, some women 
left the band, about six women, to dig wild turnips. Among them was one 
beautiful woman; none of her people, husband, father, or mother, was 
living. She went along, now, with the others. They kept on walking 
and digging roots. 
Then presently, in a valley, this handsome woman found many wild 
turnips, and dug them up. In the end she stayed too long. She did not 
notice that she was left alone. By the time she noticed it, the sun was 
setting. So, when she went away from there, she had no companions. So 
she set out. She did not know whither her companions had gone. 
Then at one time she saw a young man coming toward her. She stood 
still. He came to where she was. 
“What is the matter?” he asked her. 
This youth was handsome.
