245— -“Data! ari ni kita?” 
Lalu disaut orang 
enggau mulut nyam- 
but ngentupang;

The distance between the 
countries is hardly far 
enough to look with the 
eyes, it is neither far 
enough to throw the re¬ 
fuse of the chewing in¬ 
gredients. 
They touched at the coun¬ 
try of Dayang with a 
slender waist to which 
only the cord of a tiny 
decorated basket can be 
hung, 
They merely passed by the 
country of virgin 
Lampah whose chest em¬ 
braces the Mandai rock, 
They merely passed the 
country of Sebedawang 
who cuts tree trunks into 
blocks and the adze goes 
like lightning, 
They merely passed the 
country of Sebedayu who 
cuts rocks into blocks and 
the chips fly off the size 
of a jaong tortoise shell. 
The countries are not far 
apart, aye within wav¬ 
ing distance and hardly 
far enough to glance 
with the eyes, 
They arrived at the Coun¬ 
try of Tembai Sugi La¬ 
wai Laut Senganan. 
They arrived at the coun¬ 
try of Ulup Saputut La- 
bong Kanggan. 
‘Whence came thou?” And 
the people answered 
readily; 
‘We have come from the 
glorious sun to bear the 
dead away to the 
people who live in the 
shadow behind the posts.”
