while they were sleeping.
Then Shirai-Gompatchi, covered with

Shirai-Gompatchi had friend, a

And since this time. every year at

young women of Toxic make a pilgrim

the mausoleums of the two beings who
loved each other and paid for their

When Shirai-Gompatchi had attained

"You possess a treasure" answered
his guardian for which each one of us
would give all his money, that he

employ your youth the best you can. >
On the road Shirai- Gompatchi at
length met some persons who were
preparing to sleep on the roadside
where the night had overtaken them.
BY their sumptuous dress and beau
tiful arms the young man took them
for rich travellers.
Among them was a young girl of
rare beauty, who was seated, weeping.
After having exchanged with them
the ordinary terms of politeness, Shir-

girl wept.
