(Moreover,) whenever I said to him: “Help me with this or that thing”, he really did help me, even when he was tired. From working so much, he earned a lot of money and married four wives to (get some relief from) the weariness he had carried for a long time. After the marriage, one of the women started to cry, saying: “I want a divorce!” After the divorce, another cried saying: “I also want a divorce!” Then the remaining two likewise asked for a divorce. But he said: “No one is getting a divorce!”’ (fieldwork)
