A tall and lovely lady with a long nail but not painted and look so fragrant like a morning when papayas are in bloom went down from the carretela of Ca Celin. She said Baldos name and stroke Labangs head. Leon paid Ca Celin twice the fair in Nagrebcan. She was called as Maria and called Leon as Noel. They attached the cart to Labang and Maria rode. Leon noticed that they were not passing through the supposedly easy way, the camino real, but instead through the Waig. Leon talked about the stars. The road was rocky. Leon and Maria sang Sky Sown with Stars, the same song that Leons father taught him as they worked in the Fields. They passed through peoples houses. They finally arrived. Their mother first greeted them. Baldo went to his fathers room. His father inquired Baldo. When he went down he saw Maria and Leon beside each other. Maria, the woman whose fragrance was like a morning when papayas are in bloom.
