Yonamine’s father worrying about getting her married.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Yonamine is a wonderful girl. She is beautiful and will inherit a fortune from me. It is now time for her to get married, but where, oh where, will I find a young man who will marry her? She is stronger than most men, and where will I find a man who will come forward to marry a woman stronger than him? Besides, most young men want to marry girls who will cook and wash and make tea for their husbands; not girls who enjoy wrestling! Oh, I really want her to be happy and cared for and I truly hope she finds the right husband.
