The ground dove attempts to convince the man that he does not harvest his manioc correctly, recommending to him that he merely shake the plant. Later, when Ground Dove meets her mother-in-law for the first time, the mother-in-law follows Ground Dove to her garden and observes her nonsensical harvesting method. When everyone is back at the house, the mother-in-law mocks Ground Dove in front of her husband. Ashamed, Ground Dove leaves the man and returns to where she is from.
