text: Towards evening the gaonburas came together in the Thepong. When I entered, Yongang and Medzou were stretched out on the large planks wrapped in their cloaks and sleeping. Two other people were sleeping like this too and one of them did not move at all during the entire one and a half hours I was there. Only Nie-ang was sitting up and carving a chalk box. Chinyang and Metlou came later and Shankok had not returned from his fields by half past six.
