My future husband?

As we were leaving Tash Rabat, we met this man, who lived in the Tash Rabat valley. After chatting with me for about five minutes, he offered me offered me five yaks to become his second wife! (We later learned that most farmers in that area own approximately 200 yaks each, making that a pretty raw deal! Besides, what am I supposed to do with five yaks?)
