With no explanation, label text_A→text_B with either "DON'T KNOW", "NO" or "YES".
text_A: Douglas Adams's 1982 science fiction comedy novel "Life, the Universe and Everything" – the third part of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series – features the urn containing the Ashes as a significant element of its plot. The urn is stolen by alien robots, as the burnt stump inside is part of a key needed to lock the "Wikkit Gate" and secure the imprisonment of a world called Krikkit, to prevent any future crimes against the universe.
text_B: If the cricket tournament managed to go off without a hitch, and the Ashes remained in the hands of one of the competing teams without ever leaving Earth, would the residents of Krikkit presumably be free to leave their planet?
YES.
