This went on until the maidens in the valley, who were very many, while yet lovely and attractive, became very lonely and miserable; while the young men, all splendid hunters and warriors, multiplied in the hill country. They were wretched in mind, because not one could get a wife, for all the maidens in their own tribe were already engaged, or had been mated. THIS WENT ON UNTIL THE MAIDENS IN THE VALLEY WHO WERE VERY MANY WHILE YET LOVELY AND ATTRACTIVE BECAME VERY LONELY AND MISERABLE WHILE THE YOUNG MEN ALL SPLENDID HUNTERS AND WARRIORS MULTIPLIED IN THE HILL COUNTRY THEY WERE WRETCHED IN MIND BECAUSE NOT ONE COULD GET A WIFE FOR ALL THE MAIDENS IN THEIR OWN TRIBE WERE ALREADY ENGAGED OR HAD BEEN MATED
n the next tribe, or in their vale, or on their hill top, he was usually driven off with stones. Then there was a quarrel between the two tribes. Any young girl, who sneaked out at night to meet her young man of another clan, was, when caught, instantly and severely spanked. Then, with her best clothes taken off, she had to stand tied to a post in the market place a whole day. Her hair was pulled down in disorder, and all the dogs were allowed to bark at her. The girls made fun of the poor thing, while they all rubbed one forefinger over the other, pointed at her and cried, "Fie, for shame!" while the boys called her hard names. If it were known that the young man who wanted a wife had visited a girl in the other tribe, his spear and bow and arrows were taken away from him till the moon was full. The other boys and the girls treated him roughly and called him hard names, but he dare not defend himself and had to suffer patiently. This was all because of the feud between the two tribes.
