He replied, "For that I have no desire."

The king: "Then I will give thee money, that thou mayest travel in other

countries."

He said he did not wish this.

Then said the king, "It is difficult for me to seek farther, for I have

proposed everything that occurs to me. There is but one thing else;

and that is but little compared to what I have offered thee. Come to me

every day after the tables are removed, and, if I am not sitting upon

important business, I shall talk with thee about the girl in every way

that I can think of; and I shall do so at leisure. It sometimes happens

that sorrow is lightened by being brought out openly; and thou shalt

never go away without some gift."
