|finish text=A father: See, the thing is, he is old enough to find a girl to marry. And I know there is a girl in our village that he likes. He just doesn't know how to tell her. He is afraid to even to talk to a girl! Can you speak with him and show him?Hmm. You don't know if this is something you can help him with. Girls are... a mystery.

I see her every day. The way she walks, and the way she laughs. The way her neck curves... Sometimes she looks at me, and then looks away. I don’t know, how to, you know, ehm…
|finish text=You try to tell him all you know about girls. Which is… nothing. You have a vague idea that, if a girl feels the same way for you, you somehow… just know. Or she lets you know. With body language and the way she looks at you. Hell, what do YOU know about that? You start thinking this is the hardest adventure you ever had. You’d rather hunt down some scoundrels. It is so much easier.

I will need certain things for that. The first thing is a stretcher. I am sure we can make one with some wicker branches and smaller twigs. I will also need rope. I will not tell you anything else right now, but if I have everything, you can maybe accompany me and I’ll show you the ritual. Oh, and we will need a tent.
|finish text=As you are interested to learn more about the Indian’s customs, and you like the boy, you got him what he asked for.

You know, you are fortunate to be able to witness this ritual, as very few white men get to see it. It has... well, fallen out of use in recent times. In the meantime, we can do something. Lets see who is stronger...You walk to a tent, which is a set a bit apart from the rest of the village.Ezhno: Oh, but we have to wait. I just remembered it has to be dark for the ritual to work. We have to wait until the sun has set behind the mountains. Then you can help me and make sure no-one interrupts me.
|finish text=You wait. It feels like a long wait, as you can hardly wait to see this ritual. Hey, maybe you will finally learn something about women yourself!

|start text=Ezhno takes a deep breath.Ezhno: So, I am ready. I think... I am going to go into the tent with the components and... get something. When I come out, I will have a... bundle on the stretcher. Your job is to make sure I am protected while I am securing the bundle inside. You look sternly at him.Protected? Yes, from her bro…  er, I mean... from anyone. Ha, did I say brother? I do not even think she has a brother! Ha....You insist that he tells you the truth. You don’t want to get into any trouble with the tribe.Ezhno: Er, hmm, well… She, that is, there is a brother, and he might object. He… doesn't approve of me. I double-checked, er, that is... I've been told that he is on a hunting trip tonight, so we should be fine. No-one is getting hurt, I promise. Keep an eye out, will you? And… wish me luck!With this, he dashes into the tent. You try to stop him, when at the same moment you hear a deep voice behind you: "Who are you? What are you doing here? You dare come to our home and cause trouble for my sister?"He runs forward and lunges at you.
|finish text=You tussle with Kimama’s brother. You are much stronger than he is and the most difficult thing is to not hurt him too much, while at the same time making him stop. You try to tell him that it all is a misunderstanding. But he is too enraged. He finally realizes he has no chance and runs off. He shouts over his shoulder: "You will regret this insult! I will fetch Matunaga! He will teach you a lesson!"

|start text=A short time later Kimama’s brother comes back. Behind him, a bear of a man is running towards you.Matunaga: What is this that I have been told? You are helping that bashful little flower Ezhno get my girl? Who do you think you are, goof? You are in trouble now!You look at the bloke. He is big. He is strong. And he has a very determined look on his face. This is not going to be pretty.
|finish text=You also win this fight, but you took quite a beating. You could not knock him out, instead he runs off, shouting you will pay for this. You wonder if he also has a friend, who might be even bigger than him, when you hear a shrill voice from inside the tent. Then Ezhno staggers out of it.

|start text=Ezhno holds his cheek. “Ow. That didn't go quite, ow. As I had hoped it would."You suddenly realize what this ritual was about. Maybe the prospective bride had offered some unexpected resistance? And out she comes, quite furious.Kimama: How dare you try to carry me off like so much cut timber?! ...And on a stretcher, no less! This is the most ridiculous situation I think I have ever been in!He blushes again and looks at her sheepishly. Ezhno: Hmm. Er, I… didn’t know, whether… Er, … So I found accounts of this old ritual, and it looked like it might remove … er… some of the guesswork...She calms down a bit, and then smiles.Kimama: I would not have had a problem being alone with you, had you but asked.Ezhno seems still confused, his cheek glows all red. You give him a bandage and apply some to your own bruises.Ezhno: Er. Well. All right, then. But what about that… Um... Matunaga?Kimama shrugs: That brute? I never liked him. Big muscles, but small… brain. He bugged me every day. I went through some difficult times with him. Wouldn’t accept no for a no.Ezhno’s eyes light up, and you can see how he is thinking hard, mustering all his courage. Ezhno: Er, well. All right… Um. ... Then, er, would like to … you know… to be together with me?She looks at him fondly, wraps her arms around his neck and leans her head on his shoulder. She gives you a look, and you understand that you should leave them alone now. "You would have gotten that answer if you'd asked me a year ago. Of course I’d like to be with you!"Then he lifts his arms and cheers: "Hah! You see? It worked! The ritual worked! ... This is the best day of my life!
|finish text=You mutter that you were happy to help. Then you go back to the village. Everybody has heard what happened and they all look at you, nodding in appreciation. You see Ezhno’s father sitting at a fire, smoking a calumet and smiling. The next morning, you ride home.

|start text=A few months later you talk to Waupee.I am happy you helped my friend’s son and that everything worked out in the end. Ezhno means well, but he is just too bashful. I have heard that they are going to get married and we are invited to the wedding. It is a traditional wedding and we should bring some flowers, corn, bread and meat. And a vase from which they both will drink at the same time. If they’re able to do so without spilling any of the liquid, it’s a good omen for their future. But you maybe want to avoid talking to Matunaga.
|finish text=It was a very nice wedding. You smoked a pipe with Ezhno’s father again. He said his son’s name will now be changed to Howi Miwok, because he found a wife. Also Kimama’s mother was very happy. She told you that she had her doubts that any suitor would ever even get near her daughter, with her overprotective brother and that other brawny guy courting her. You did not see Matunaga, but heard that he was on a hunting trip.For your help with bringing them together, the couple gives you a beautiful pouch, which Kimama has embroidered with the couples’ names. The only thing this adventure did not provide was a deeper understanding of women. Or did it?
