text:

I go home past the Thepong. There the men are sitting on the separate compartments divided by clans and are already eating again. Later the young people then move on to Balang and Angban to talk to the girls there, but as it is soon one o'clock I go home dead tired. The full moon is spectacular indeed. On the way I kill a snake (96) but I doubt that it was poisonous.
