âThe man who marries her will have to give me lots of cattle,â went on the father.
âHow many?â asked Kumalo. âI am sure that I will have that many.â
âFifty,â said the father.
Even for Kumalo that was a very large number of cattle, but he agreed with the father that he would give them to him in return for the privilege of marrying his daughter. The father seemed pleased and called other people across to witness the bargain.
âI must warn you about something,â he said after they had agreed on the day when the cattle would be delivered. âMany beautiful girls cannot work very hard. That girl is so beautiful that she cannot work at all.â
Kumalo was surprised by this, but quickly promised that the girl would never have to do any work in his household.
âThat is good,â said the father. âShe will be happy with you.â
