She takes the ball and withholds it, and tells the player she wishes to give Ulitta a message: she will return the ball if Ulitta allows the girl to sleep by their doorstep at night. He throws the ball, which lands at her feet. The girl follows her instructions and goes to the nearby city and waits for her husband.
