Janshah wept and told him all that had befallen him and how she had flown away from him, saying, 'An thou love me, come to me in Takni, the Castle of Jewels; at which the old man marvelled and said, 'By Allah, O my son, I know it not, nor, by the virtue of our lord Solomon, have I ever in my life heard its name! Quoth Janshah, 'What shall I do?
As for Janshah's mother, when she heard of his loss she buffeted her face and began the mourning ceremonies for her son making sure that he was dead. Meanwhile, Janshah and his men ceased not driving before the wind and those in search of them cruised about for ten days till, finding no trace they returned and reported failure to the King.
So the servants spread the table and set thereon all manner meats, of which the merchant and Janshah ate, and washed their hands.
And Shahrazad perceived the dawn of day and ceased saying her permitted say. When it was the Five Hundred and Ninth Night, She said, It hath reached me, O auspicious King, that "Janshah saw many strange things and admirable in that apartment. Then he entered the pavilion and mounting the throne, fell asleep under the tent set up thereover.
Belike he knoweth of this castle; at any rate he ruleth over all the Jinn in this country side. So saying he set Janshah on the back of a beast and gave him a letter to his brother, commending him to his care. The beast set off with the Prince forthwith and fared on days and nights, till it came to King Shimakh's abiding place.
And this was high enjoyment for Janshah and his father and the lady Shamsah." And Shahrazad perceived the dawn of day and ceased saying her permitted say. When it was the Five Hundred and Twenty-ninth Night,
Then said the Jew, 'Slit open the mule's belly and enter it and I will sew it up on thee. There must thou abide awhile and whatsoever thou seest in her belly, acquaint me therewith.

He chose out four of his Marids to carry the litter in whichever of the four quarters the riders might choose. Moreover, he gave his daughter three hundred beautiful damsels to wait upon her and bestowed on Janshah the like number of white slaves of the sons of the Jinn.
The Shaykh returned his salam and bade him welcome, saying, 'Sit down, O my son. So he sat down at the door of the castle and the old man said to him, 'How camest thou to this land, untrodden by son of Adam before thee, and whither art thou bound? When Janshah heard his words he wept bitterly at the thought of all the hardships he had suffered and his tears choked his speech.
Quoth the Shaykh, 'O my son, leave weeping; for indeed thou makest my heart ache. So saying, he rose and set somewhat of food before him and said to him, 'Eat. He ate and praised Allah Almighty; after which the old man besought him saying, 'O my son, I would have thee tell me thy tale and acquaint me with thine adventures. So Janshah related to him all that had befallen him, from first to last, whereat the Shaykh marvelled with exceeding marvel.
