Note 1 — The Female Fowl Thief
H. (Henry) Parker translation
On that day a man of the village having died had been cremated also. The woman went to a village near the heap of fire-charcoal (the remains of the funeral pyre), and stealing a fowl from a house, came near that charcoal fire at the place of cremation (sohon), and having put the fowl upon the charcoal, roasted it. When she was eating the meat that man, having been hidden, threw a stone [at her]. When it struck her the woman says, “What are you throwing stones for?”1 Having said, “Here. The demon-offering for ye; take that,” she throws down a fowl bone.
