The River Merchant's Wife

[sageda]

The River Merchant's Wife was one of the presentation stories that stuck out for me. I think it was really cute and sweet that it was from the perspective of the wife. It reminded me of this one Sudanese folk song about a woman who's love moved away for a job and she talks about writing to him and selling salt and pepper to buy a ticket to go see him.

Can you guys think of any other stories/connections similar to that story?
