In a certain city there was a King; the King was married. If the
Queen bore a Prince they rear the Prince; if she bore a Princess,
at the very time when she was born, [even] should she be alive,
they bury her. This order is a thing commanded by the King.
The King's Queen formerly having given birth to a first-born Prince,
and having reared him and been satisfied with him, he continued to
stay there. During the time while he was there the Queen bore yet
a Princess.
Then the King told them to bury the Princess. The midwife having given
her into the hand of a man told him to bury her. So the man in order
to bury the Princess took her and went to the burial ground.
At that very time, as the elder Prince of the King, who had been for
sport, was coming back, he saw that this man [after] putting this
Princess into a bundle was going to the ground for new burials;
and he asked the man, "What is that you are going with, [after]
making it into a bundle?"
