The man went and found the King and complained of the woman. The King called her and asked her: "Why have you taken this man captive?"
"He ate my son."
"Why was your son metamorphosed into a jerboa? When men see one of those they kill him and eat him." Then addressing the man: "Give her back the ear-ring." He gave it to her.
"Go," said the King, "take this man to the place from which you brought him."
The son of the King then said to his father: "This man did me a favor; you ought to reward him."
The King said to him: "Go to the treasure, take as much money as you can."
"I don't want money," he answered; "I want you to spit into my mouth a benediction."
"Who told you that?"
"Nobody."
"You will not be able to bear it."
