Then the messenger went to the next man, but he to said that he would not because she could not be his bride anymore. Then the messenger went to the third and last man, and this man's name was Thinker. The messenger told Thinker that Morning Sunrise was dead, and as soon as Thinker heard it, he grabbed some money and went to the girl, but when Thinker arrived, the father had them married that very day.
