The Importance of Respect

Johnny Lingo paid eight cows for his wife, Sarita. She was a little skinny with no other endowments, if you know what I mean. Her eyes had never opened beyond a slit and her hair was tangled up covering over half her face. So how could she be attractive to the boys? But she attracted Johnny, I said. This is the story. Everyone in Kinawata knows about the eight cows. And in Nara Boon day everyone knows about it too. His chest expanded with satisfaction. Always and forever when they speak of a marriage settlement it will be remembered that Johnny Lingo paidEight cows for Sarita.
