8 Cows Could Change Your Life ~ Eric Deeter

I remembered the story of Johnny Lingo and the 8 cows he paid for his wife.

Such a high price had never been paid for a dowry. And likely no one would ever pay such a price again. What amazed the people of the south-seas islands is that Serita, the woman Johnny married was plain. No one thought she would ever be married. And they all thought she wouldn't even bring one cow as a dowry.

And yet Johnny Lingo, the best deal-maker in the islands, gave 8 cows for her.
