The dipping of the paddles 
was similar to the feet of 
the crayfish; the poles 
kept perfect time without 
cessation; the splashing 
of the water with the 
paddles reached the tops 
of the gensurai trees ; the 
paddling deep into the 
water was so beautiful, 
like the marching of the 
feet, full of fascination. 
The distance of the coun¬ 
tries is not far, hardly far 
enough to wave with the 
three fingers, hardly far 
enough to look with the 
two eyes, hardly far 
enough to throw the re¬ 
fuse of the chewed areca 
chikana. 
The boat reached the 
country of mother Men¬ 
yambong Bulan, the 
country of virgin Kinta 
Temian, the country of 
grandmother Ai Seluli 
Kapas, and reached the 
country of the people that 
hold possession of the bay 
Sent arum Mas.
