re-built rice granary, used by lovers |
| text: |
Towards evening I went to Shankok's house. He had just completed the building of a rice granary, or rather had rebuilt a dilapidated one. However the two strong carved door wings, as well as parts of the verandah are reused again and again. Some leaves were tied to the central post, an offering to Ghawang. In a short formula the rice is also asked to come in great quantities. Shankok has made special provisions for couples in love by having unusually good partitions on his verandah, although he himself does not know who uses them, anyway, by a The-phong boy. (237) The girls come into the men's khel and return to their parents' home at dawn just before the other people get up. |
