When he comes home, he sees this young girl again. His friends spit at her, but he says to them,
“I will not spit at her—I wish to marry her.”
His friends burst out into roars of laughter, “Ha! ha! ha!” The sailor goes home to his mother, and tells her that he is going to be married. His mother answers him,
“If you make a good and rich marriage, very well.”
The son said to her, “She is not at all rich. She is that girl there.”
The mother was not pleased. “Leave that bad girl alone.”
He said, “It is all the same to me; I will marry none but her.”
He asks his friends where she lives. They point to an old house. The captain goes there in the evening and knocks at the door. The girl says, “Who is there?”
The man says, “Open the door for me. It is I.”
The young girl says, “I will not open the door—I am in bed.”
