Then the ape threw stones down on her until she was dead. The house then became free from enchantment and always visible. The ape then returned to the chief's house and reported that all was ready for the wedding. So the chief, Masoy, and the bride, escorted by a large number of people, set out for Masoy's palace. On the way they saw many rich farms and great herds of cattle.
That night the wedding took place, and Masoy lived many years in the palace with his wife, having the ape and a great number of slaves to serve him. Arnomongo and Iput-Iput. One evening the firefly was on his way to the house of a friend, and as he passed the ape's house, the latter asked him: "Mr. Fire-fly, why do you carry a light?" The firefly replied: "Because I am afraid of the mosquitoes."
The chief asked the people who the owner of these farms and cattle was. The answer always was that they belonged to Masoy. Consequently the chief was greatly impressed by Masoy's great wealth. The chief greatly admired the palace and considered himself fortunate to have such a son-in-law.
"Masoy, who owns many gantas of gold and silver, acres upon acres of land; and uncountable heads of cattle," was the reply. The ape carried the ganta home, and there he stuck the piece of gold he had found on the inside of the bottom of the measure, and then returned it to the chief. "Oh, ape!" said the datto, "your master has forgotten to take out one piece of gold.
Then he struck him with the other hand, which, of course, stuck fast also. "Well, Masoy," cried the ape, "you have entirely exhausted my patience! If you don't let go of me at once, I shall kick you." No sooner said than done, with a result which may easily be imagined.
