ey walked, [296] "Look out of the window and see who it is." The
_alan_ said to her, "He wants you to look at him." Dawinisan said,
"I cannot go to the window to look at him, for the sunshine is hot. I
do not wish the sun to shine in my face." When Asbinan could not get
her to go to the window, he used magic and went inside of the golden
cup, and he pretended that he was ill in his stomach. He said, "Ana,
mother, I am going to die, for my stomach suffers greatly," and he
said to the _alan_, "Ala, you _alan_, tell her that she must look
out of the window to see me." The _alan_ said to Dawinisan, "Come
and look at him; he wants you to see him. He says that his stomach
is ill." But Dawinisan said to the _alan_, "Tell him that I cannot
go and look at him, I am ashamed. You look at him and then you rub
his stomach." The _alan_ told Asbinan that Dawinisan would not look
at him, and he would not let the _alan_ rub his stomach. He said,
"If Dawinisan does not want to look at me from the window, and if I
die it is her fault, for I came here because of her."
The _alan_ who saw that Asbinan was a beautiful young boy, said,
"If you will not go to look at him, we are going to leave you, for we
fear that he is going to die because of you." Dawinisan did not wish
the _alan_ to leave her, and she said, "Ala, bring him up on the porch

to look at him. When she saw that he was a handsome boy, she said, "I
am ashamed, for I did not think he was a rich and handsome boy." When
she saw that the boy appeared to be suffering greatly she went into
the house; she changed her dress and went out on the porch, and she
looked like the sunshine. When she reached the porch, she rubbed the
boy's stomach, and directly Asbinan sat up. Dawinisan said to him,
"Come into the house and we will tell our names and see if we are
relatives." So they went into the house and she told him to set down on
a golden seat which looked like a fawn. As soon as he sat down he said,
"Pretty, young girl, when I see you I am blinded by your beauty. I
came here because I wish to marry you." "Oh, Asbinan! I am ashamed,
but I do not want to be married yet," said Dawinisan. "Dawinisan,
even if you tell me to leave you, I will not do it until you promise
to marry me. I will stay with you now," he said. Dawinisan replied,
"Even though you should stay here one month, I do not care," Asbinan
said. "Let us chew bet
