Hugh Fraser —Folklore from 'Eastern Gorakhpur. 
If I should take up your “ tikuli” and give it you, then what will you 
give as a gift to me ? 
(Ch.) oh ! foreign Bee. 
I’ll give you, brother-in-law, a ring for your hand, a necklace fit for 
your wife. 
(Ch.) oh ! foreign Bee. 
In the fire would I cast your finger-ring, sister-in-law; may the 
lightning blast your necklace. 
(Ch.) oh ! foreign Bee. 
In the folds of your dress, sister-in-law, are two cocoanuts ; one a gift 
to me, one to my brother. 
(Ch.) oh ! foreign Bee.
