The male Natika knew how to procure the rare pearl. So, his wife asked him, “How is Hatim going to find this pearl?” He replied, “First, he must walk in the southern direction. Then, he will need a few of our feathers. He will first reach Mountain Kaf, crossing which, he will reach a desert. This area surrounding the fairyland is inhabited by demons. He must now burn the green feathers. Mix the ash in water and rub it on his body. This will give him the appearance of a demon. Crossing the desert, he will reach the island of Barzakh. Here, he must burn the white feathers, mix the ash in water and rub it on his body. He will be normal once again. To the king, he should recount the history of the pearl that I told him in his dreams and procure the precious egg pearl.”
