After thirty days the Jew entered the gate of the town, and sat down in the first street he came to, hungry, thirsty, and very tired. Quite by chance, Dschemil happened to pass by, and seeing a man sitting there, full in the glare of the sun, he stopped, and said, 'Get up at once, Jew; you will have a sunstroke if you sit in such a place.
As you pass through our village, ask for a man called Dschemil, and say to him: "Dschemila greets you, from the castle, which lies far away, and is rocked by the wind. In my grave lies only a goat. So take heart." And the man promised, and went his way, till he came to a spring of water. And he drank a great draught and then lay on the bank and slept quietly.
So Dschemil took the pin from his cloak and threw it behind him, and a dense thicket of thorns sprang up round them, which the ogre and his dog could not pass through. 'I will get through it somehow, if I burrow underground, cried he, and very soon he and the dog were on the other side. 'Cousin, said Dschemila, 'they are close to us now. 'Go on in front, and fear nothing, replied Dschemil.
'That I shall see for myself, said Dschemil, and, snatching up a spade, hastened off to the grave where the goat's head lay buried. And they answered, 'Then hear what really happened. When you were away, she went with the other maidens to the forest to gather wood. And there she found an iron mortar, which she wished to bring home; but she could not carry it, neither would she leave it.
Prince Blondel and Princess Graziella lived to a good old age, beloved by every one, and loving each other more and more as time went on. The Story Of Dschemil and Dschemila There was once a man whose name was Dschemil, and he had a cousin who was called Dschemila.
'Well, what do you mean to do with me? asked Dschemila. 'Better take me home to my mother by night, and tell no one anything about it. 'So I will, said he. They waited where they were till it was nearly dark, then Dschemil brought his cousin home. 'Is that Dschemil? asked the mother when he knocked softly. 'Yes, it is. 'And have you found her? 'Yes, and I have brought her to you.
So he did, and after sitting on the top for about an hour, a window above him opened, and a voice said: 'Dschemil! He looked up, and at the sight of Dschemila, whom he had so long believed to be dead, he began to weep. 'Dear cousin, she whispered, 'what has brought you here? 'My grief at losing you. 'Oh! go away at once. If the ogre comes back he will kill you.
'Come quick! called Dschemil from the chest; 'we must fly now while the ogre is asleep. 'Not yet, she said, 'there is a yellow light shining. I don't think he is asleep. So they waited for an hour. Then Dschemil whispered again: 'Wake up! There is no time to lose! 'Let me see if he is asleep, said she, and she peeped in, and saw a red light shining.
'Well, stop with us awhile, and rest and eat! said Dschemil. And the man entered; and food was set before him, and he sat down with the father of the maiden and her brothers, and Dschemil. Only Dschemil himself was absent, squatting on the threshold. 'Why do you not eat too? asked the stranger. But one of the young men whispered hastily: 'Leave him alone. Take no notice!
Then he exclaimed, 'Dschemila, let your head become a donkey's head, and your hair fur! But when it was done, Dschemil looked at her in horror, and said, 'She is really a donkey, and not a woman at all! And he left her, and went home. For two days poor Dschemila wandered about alone, weeping bitterly.
