The English Gipsies and Their Language

CHAPTER X
77/100

And that youth did not know which girl liked him best, or whom he loved best; so all the four sat down together at the table, and he gave them food and beer.

One ate plenty, but the other two would eat nothing; one drank, but the other two would not drink something, because they were all angry, and grieved, and worried.

So the youth told them he was afraid if he took a wife that could not eat, she would not live, so he married the girl that ate her food.
Always eat all the food that people give you (literally share out to you), and you will go readily (securely) through sorrow and trouble.
