Afterwards, when the foolish man was on his way to seek for Nikini, a man was ploughing. The man who was ploughing asked, “Where are you going?”
This man said, “I am going to seek for a little Nikini.”
Then the man said to this man, “If so, come here [and help me to plough].”
Those two having ploughed during the whole of that day, went in the evening to the house of the man who had been ploughing. Both of them having eaten cooked rice, the man who went to seek for Nikini asked that man, “Anē! Now then, tell me the place where there is Nikini.”
The man said, “Anē! I don’t know. Go you away.”
After that, when he had slept there that night, that man gave him a little cooked rice. Having eaten a little, while he was going on his way to seek for Nikini, a man was chopping earthen ridges in a rice field. The man asked, “Where are you going?”
This man said, “I am going to seek for a little Nikini.”
Then that man said, “If so, come here [and help me].”
After those two persons had chopped the ridges during the whole day, they went in the evening to the man’s house. While they were [there], having eaten cooked rice this man who went to seek for Nikini said, “Anē! Tell me the site where there is Nikini.”
The man said, “Anē! I don’t know. Go and ask at the hand of another person.”
