Then the creature found human voice, and cried, 'Let me go, oh! Prince Bahramgor and I will give you countless treasures! But the Prince laughed, saying, 'Not so! I have gold and jewels galore, but never a golden deer. 'Let me go, pleaded the deer, 'and I will give you more than treasures! 'And what may that be? asked the Prince, still laughing.
So every day Prince Bahramgor opened a new garden, and examined a new palace, and in one he found rooms full of gold, and in another jewels, and in a third rich stuffs, in fact everything the heart could desire, until he came to the hundredth palace, and that he found was a mere hovel, full of all poisonous things, herbs, stones, snakes, and insects.
Long ago there lived a King who had an only son, by name Prince Bahramgor, who was as splendid as the noonday sun, and as beautiful as the midnight moon. Now one day the Prince went a-hunting, and he hunted to the north, but found no game; he hunted to the south, yet no quarry arose; he hunted to the east, and still found nothing.
'My old mother, who is blind, he said, 'will never see you coming and going; and as you used to be fond of sport, you can help me to hunt, as I used to help you. So the splendid Prince Bahramgor and his lovely Princess hid in the garret of the huntsman's house, and no one knew they were there.
She ran to tell the King, who, on hearing the whole story from his daughter's lips, was very much pleased at the courage and constancy of Prince Bahramgor, and ordered Princess Shahpasand to be released at once; 'For, he said, 'now her husband has found his way to her, my daughter will not want to go to him.
Then Prince Bahramgor lifted the yech-cap from his forehead, so that he was no longer quite invisible, but showed like a figure seen in early dawn. At this the Princess wept bitterly, calling him by name, thinking she had seen his ghost, but as he lifted the yech-cap more and more, and, growing from a shadow to real flesh and blood, clasped her in his arms, her tears changed to radiant smiles.
Then the demon Jasdrul said a regretful goodbye, and, Hey presto! Prince Bahramgor found himself standing outside his native city, with his beautiful bride beside him. But, alas! as the good-natured demon had foretold, everything was changed. His father and mother were both dead, a usurper sat on the throne, and had put a price on Bahramgor's head should he ever return from his mysterious journey.
For seven days and seven nights it carried the Prince over all the world, so that he could see everything like a picture passing below, and on the evening of the seventh day it touched the earth once more, and instantly vanished. Prince Bahramgor rubbed his eyes in bewilderment, for he had never been in such a strange country before. Everything seemed new and unfamiliar.
