In the wilderness,
he and his brothers each chose a sister
and conceived unto them children.
And these their women lived upon raw meat while
giving plenty of suck to their children and
being strong like unto the men and
bearing their journeyings without murmuring.
He, noting their lack of murmurs,
declared the blessings of the Lord great.

Those Lamanite girls would ditch those Lamanite boys
to go out to the trees to sing and to dance
and to make themselves merry
till one time some twenty and four were taken
and carried away into the wilderness.
They moved from screaming to stockholm
to pleading with their fathers and their brothers
not to destroy their quote-unquote husbands.
Thus the Lamanites not only did not destroy those men
but made them midlevel bureaucrats,
because of their wives.

Morianton was a man of much passion
so of course he got angry with one of his maid servants
and fell upon her and beat her much.
She fled and
one thing led to another
and thus fell Morianton.

So the Lamanites took prisoners from the tower of Sherrizah
(men, women, children),
feeding the flesh of the men to their wives,
while the Nephites took prisoners from Moriantum
(just women)
and raped them of that which was most dear and precious,
tortured their bodies unto death,
and devoured what remained
as a token of bravery.
Meanwhile, the widows remaining in Sherrizah
were left to wander whithersoever for food,
to faint by the way,
and to die.
