So Naipei sang a song asking what he had been eating. She sang, "Lomurrani ele kainyooshi iyie inko. Pee itabainji, nibayu anaa osirua lenkop nalio?" The moran sang his response to Naipei. He sang, "Olkiteng' le minyi apa atama. Pee atabainji anaa osirua lenkop nalio." Naipei now knew the truth. The moran had stolen a bull. He was eating the meat! He was the one who took Naipei's father's bull! Back at home, Naipei's family was worried and upset. They had lost one of their biggest bulls. And their daughter had run away from home. Tito Kiti said to her parents, "I will help so that Naipei can return home. I will send my friend." The parents looked at her and asked, "Which friend are you talking about?" Tito Kiti clapped her hands and a small bird flew down from a tree. She sent the bird to tell Naipei that her mother was sick. The bird flew far, over many trees, and landed at the entrance of a large cave.
