She may also sit down near him and pull his blanket and sing to him in a gentle low voice a simple love-song: Se-( se)-ma-te re-hoy i-ru Se-( se)-ma-te re-hoy i-va Beau-ti-ful man to be sure, Beau-ti-ful man to be sure.
If occasion requires, the parents of the girl may say to the parents of the boy, "Our daughter wants to marry your son." Then they send the girl to the boy's home, that the young people may become acquainted.

For two or three days, perhaps, they do not speak to each other, but finally she playfully begins to throw pebbles at him.

If he does not return them, she understands that he does not care for her.

If he throws them back at her, she knows that she has won him.

She lets her blanket drop and runs off into the woods, and he is not long in following her.
Sometimes the boy, when he likes a girl very much, may make the first advances, but even then he has to wait until she throws the first pebbles and drops the blanket, for, among the Indians, it is the woman who seeks the man, and the fair who deserve the brave.
Next day they come home together, and after this they do not hide themselves any more.
