'Yes, I will, though you have tried to kill me, answered Ball-Carrier, throwing the bridge across the water as he spoke. But when the Bad One was in the midst of the stream, the boy wished it to become small; and the Bad One fell into the water and was drowned, and the world was rid of him. How Ball-carrier Finished His Task
Then Ball-Carrier remembered his parents and went back to them. Long, long ago, far, far away on the other side of the world, some young men left the camp where they lived to get some food for their wives and children.
And Ball-Carrier stepped down oft the platform, and brought his club and bow and arrows out of the hut, and set out, for the other side of the world, behind the old woman. When they reached the hut where Ball-Carrier had fasted so many years ago, the old woman spoke for the first time since they had started on their way. 'My grandson, did you ever manage to get that gold from the Bad One?
When she was ready she said to the ball: 'Go back the way you came, and lead me to my grandson. And the ball started with the old woman following. It was a long journey, even for a witch, but, like other things, it ended at last; and the old woman stood before the platform of stakes, where the body of Ball-Carrier lay. 'Wake up, my grandson, it is time to go home, the witch said.
'That will suit me very well, replied the woman, who was a witch. 'And let us agree that the one who wins shall have the right to kill the other. 'Oh, certainly, said Ball-Carrier; 'and I don't think we shall find a flatter course than the prairie itself no one knows how many miles it stretches. We will run to the end and back again.
Then she brought in Ball-Carrier, who, seeing all these preparations, wished that as long as he was in the kettle the water might not really boil, though it would hiss and bubble, and also, that the spirits would turn the water into fat. The kettle soon began to sing and bubble, and Ball-Carrier was lifted in.
