Having said, "There, that house," the Prince stretched out his hand
towards the royal palace.
With the thoughts, "I shall be worn away with fear, I shall be worn
away. Ane! The thing that this foolish boy has done! Having said
that he gave him a quartz stone, the King, in order to appoint [the
punishment for] his fault, told me to come here," she reached the
royal palace.
Thereupon the King having seen her, becoming much pleased, asked,
"Whence didst thou obtain this stone?"
Then the Queen began to tell him everything,--the way in which she
made the bet with that King, the way in which she came away, the way
in which she bore [a child], the way in which while coming, she stopped
the [crying of the] Prince by picking up this stone from the river.
Then the King said, "This is a gem-stone. Putting me [out of
consideration], having appointed any person you like, he cannot
state the value of this. I have not got even wealth [sufficient] to
give for this. Because of it, having given to thee the wealth, too,
thou hast not a place to put it in. Therefore stay ye in my palace
itself until the Prince, having become big, marries a Princess."
Having made ready and given them a good room, and given them the
royal victuals, he made the two remain there.
While they are staying there, having prepared two bracelets for the
King's Queen, because there was not a stone more to [match] that stone
for fixing in the two bracelets, he asked the Queen who gave the stone,
"Canst thou find and bring a stone more, like this stone?"
The Queen said, "I cannot go. If there be still [any] in the river,
or what, I do not know."
