He meets several beautiful women on his journey, but none of them is Orina. One day, a journey through an inhospitable desert leads him to a small cottage with a thatched roof, with a black hen sitting on the bench in the front yard. The old couple livingin the hut inhabitants of the hut, invite Pišta to join them at their table and offer him a bed for the night. In the morning, they leave and Pišta begins repairing the roof. At noon, he catches glimpse of a beautiful girl cooking lunch inside the main room, but at one o'clock the girl changes into a black hen. Pišta manages to talk to the girl and he discovers that this is the Orina he has been looking for. The old man reveals to Pišta how to break the unlucky spell: he must marry the girl while she has the form of a hen. Back at the village, everybody pokes fun at Pišta because of his "bride".
