text: I was rather tired when I arrived at my bungalow and I had no desire to return to the village. Apart from my little bird which had flown away I found all in order here. At night I still gave a piece of skull to Chinyang, the gaonbura, for the Aukheang morung which had gone empty, as well as a small piece to my paniwala, Yongem.
