He went and sat down on the river bank. He heard a girl that they called: “Daughter of Hakinai, O, daughter of Hakinai, fill up your pitcher and let us go!” He said to himself: “Learn from this, that girl is ours,” and he followed her. [When they reached the house] his wife was sitting and sifting flour. She lifted up her eyes, saw him, was joyous and then her spirit departed her. He said in front of Him, “Master of the World, this poor soul; is this her reward?” He prayed for mercy for her and she he brought her back to life.
