Transcription: Traditional narrative about a rich woman
This is a traditional narrative about a rich woman who receives many marriage proppsals. But, she will not speak to the men who propose to her. She says will only respond to the man she loves. An orphaned boy goes to her house and tries to cook, and she yells at him that he's doing it wrong. Then, she has to marry him because she has spoken to him, so he must be the one she loves. The speaker, Vshaq Sangdong Pōng, is from the Mvtjùng valley, and is about 70 years old at the time of recording. He speaks the lower Mvtjùng variety.
