For the Love of Limmawen

So that he may hand him his daughter Limmawen's hand in marriage, Apo Timmonen demanded that the young Agnganon present the Alumanggan clan with fifteen acres-worth of assorted flowers and berries, thirty thousand cavans of rice, five thousand heads of cattle, ten thousand pigs, three hundred carabaos, sufficient lumber (only the finest hardwood, of course) to build the houses of fifteen hundred villagers, a small mountain, three rivers, and as many diamond rings as there were in Ingasneg's night sky. Agnganon, in his immense love for the most beautiful maiden the gods had molded out of the rugged north's clay and its cold winds, somehow managed to meet the old chieftain's demands in only two and a half sunrises. Such was his desire to prove his love for the princess.
