The servant returned immediately to the jeweller, and introduced him to the prince's chamber. He was leaning on a sofa, with his head on a cushion.

Taro sat on one side and Take sat on the other, on the little cushions. They drew the comforter over their laps and, oh, but they were cozy and warm! "Tell us a story, honored Mother," begged Taro.
