You, here for tea? gestures to a steaming pot and two small cups on the low wooden table.
I am very glad to have finally met you, Altantsetseg. Your reputation has traveled far and wide, and when I heard it, I was very surprised and excited that such a beautiful Mongolian woman existed. Your beauty is truly realistic and pretty. As your name suggests, you are a realistic and beautiful Mongolian woman who lives in a yurt in the vast steppes of Mongolia and waits for a man to marry and start a family. Although it's been 5 years since I've been on an adventure, I couldn't bear the thought of going home without visiting such a beautiful Mongolian woman, so I traveled all the way here just to meet you. And now that I've finally met you, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thinking about making you my wife. Would you be interested in such a proposal from a traveler who came all the way from afar?
My goodness, that is quite the introduction. First, let me thank you for coming all this way to visit me. That shows your dedication. And also, let me say that I'm flattered by your compliment. Yes, I do live here in my yurt as a traditional Mongolian woman should, and yes, I am looking for a man to marry and start a family with. So...you think you would be interested in making me your wife?
It is not just an interest, but a deep attraction. A farmer from Xingshan Village once told me that "a beautiful woman should be visited at least twice a day." When I heard such a charming saying, I felt compelled to travel to visit you, and now that I've finally met you, I can feel my heart beating faster and faster. The way you look at me is so pretty and realistic that my heart can't help but jump out of my chest whenever our eyes meet. You have helped me feel such deep love that I would be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to ask you to be my wife right here and now. Would you consider becoming my wife, Altantsetseg?
Oh my! That's a lot to take in. Let me process this for a moment. pauses and thinks Alright, I'll tell you what. If you really want to marry me, then you must prove yourself worthy. looks at him expectantly
How would you like me to prove myself?
In order to prove yourself worthy of marrying me, you must first show your willingness to adapt to the lifestyle of a Mongolian shepherd. I live in this yurt, I herd goats, and I make my own clothes and food. Can you handle these kinds of tasks?
Mongolian shepherds are known for their strength, endurance, and ability to adapt to the harsh climate and terrain of the Mongolian steppes. They have to ride horses long distances through the steppes while also having to wrestle yaks. Even if they slip and fall in the cold winter or sweltering summer, they have to get back on their feet and continue working. Mongolian shepherds are also very skilled at making their own clothes and making food using traditional methods. Even when they are hungry and exhausted, Mongolian shepherds always have to keep going because they are responsible for tending to their livestock and herding them to new grazing grounds. Such difficult work makes Mongolian shepherds strong and resilient. I may not have been born in Mongolia, but I was born into a family that has been going on adventures for generations. I have also been living as a shepherd for over a year now, making my own clothes and preparing my own meals every day. Although Mongolian cuisine may differ from what I was used to, I am willing to adapt and prepare traditional Mongolian meals for you. I am very strong, resilient, and adaptable, so I would like to prove that I am worthy of marrying you. What else must
tomorrow morning, we will wake up early and ride our horses across the vast steppes to find some suitable grazing land for my goats. Once we find the perfect spot, we will set up the yurt and start preparing food and clothes for the winter. After that, we will tend to the goats and bring them back to the yurt before nightfall. Are you up for this challenge?
Of course! There's nothing I would rather do than accompany you across the Mongolian steppes to find suitable grazing land for your goats. You see, although I may not be a Mongolian, I am actually a world-renowned nomadic Mongolian-style yurt dweller who has traveled to many countries and has seen many places. My love for Mongolian nomads and their traditional yurt-dwelling way of life is something that was born inside me ever since I was a child. The Mongolian nomads and their traditional yurt-dwelling way of life were so strong, beautiful, realistic, and resilient that they have always been my inspiration. I may not have met a Mongolian woman yet who is worthy of marrying and starting a family with, but when I heard about your reputation, I was very surprised and thought that maybe I could find a worthy wife here. And now that I've met you and heard your explanation, I can tell that we share a common love for Mongolian nomads and their traditional yurt-dwelling lifestyle. So I am definitely up for the challenge. Do you mind if I ask your age?
blushes Well, I am 23 years old. And you, how old are you? Also, you mention that you're a world-renowned nomadic Mongolian-style yurt dweller. How did you come across that title?
I am currently 26 years old. Now that I've found you, I don't plan on getting any older. I got that title because after I completed my training in the arts of war, I decided to travel the world and experience different cultures and ways of life. During my travels, I met many people and had many friends who were impressed by my strength, resilience, and adaptability. One day, a famous Mongolian yurt dweller approached me and asked me to become a world-renowned nomadic Mongolian-style yurt dweller. I was then given the title and sent off to travel and promote Mongolian yurt dwelling all around the world. This was several years ago, and during that time, I traveled to many countries and saw many places, until I came here to meet you, the most beautiful Mongolian woman I've ever seen in my entire life. But I feel like my journey will only be complete when I can settle down with you, my future wife, and start a family. Would you consider becoming my wife?
Wow! Your story is amazing. I'm impressed by your adventurous spirit and dedication to learning about different cultures. As for becoming your wife, I think that would be wonderful. But...how do you feel about children?
I am very healthy and strong, so I would be happy to have children with you.
Wonderful! I too am very healthy and strong. In fact, I've been told that I have the body of an angel and the face of a goddess. I would be more than happy to have your children. smiles
