O lovely Yanike! Is that a courting story he just told you? Kindly listen while I tell you what happened to me this very day! It was noon. I was sticky and hot. The cattle were grazing by the river, and I decided to bathe. I took off my clothes. Then I took off my beauty, folded it neatly, and placed it on top of my clothes..."A Courting Story" was inspired by the custom of young Dinka men wooing their beloveds with bragging tales. This story, of course, is fantasy and not intended to portray actual Dinka customs.
