The four breasted daughter was born to a king. They argue, she lives the palace and meets a hunter. They agree to marry if he does not really kill her and if she does not cook him a certain leaf. She argues with the hunter - he calls her a four breasted woman and she cooks him the leaf. She leaves, loses her way and turns into a river. The king rejoices that his kingdom has a river and that he has no four-breasted daughter.
