In spite of all my efforts, a terrible misfortune has happened. I think that was why his heart broke." Then the magic goblin went back to his tree in a moment. And the king was still determined to catch him, and went once more to the sissoo tree. The Brahman who died because Poison from a Snake in the Claws of a Hawk fell into a Dish of Food given him by a Charitable Woman.
Then the goblin slipped from the king's shoulder as before, and quickly disappeared. And the king went back, determined to catch him. The Mutual Services of King Fierce-lion and Prince Good. Which is the more deserving? Then the king went back to the sissoo tree, put the goblin on his shoulder as before, and started.
About fifty men are employed; and the number of seeds and vegetables annually distributed is very great. Of trees the most conspicuous are the tamarind, Tecoma jasminoides, Erythrina, Adansonia, Bombax, teak, banyan, peepul, Sissoo, Casuarina, Terminalia, Melia, Bauhinia. The grapes looked extremely well, but they require great skill and care in the management.
And when the monk saw the king, he was delighted and said: "O King, if you wish to do me a favour, go south from here some distance all alone, and you will see a sissoo tree and a dead body hanging from it. Be so kind as to bring that here." When the brave king heard this, he agreed, and, true to his promise, turned south and started.
Then the king went back through the night to the cemetery filled with ghouls, terrible with funeral piles that seemed like ghosts with wagging tongues of flame. But when he came to the sissoo tree, he was surprised to see a great many bodies hanging on the tree. They were all alike, and in each was a goblin twitching its limbs. And the king thought: "Ah, what does this mean?
For she was married to him in the regular way by her father in the presence of her relatives. Master-mind married her secretly, like a thief. And when a thief takes things from other people, it is never right." When the goblin heard this, he went back home as before. And the king stuck to his purpose. He went back again, put the goblin on his shoulder, and started from the sissoo tree.
He thought: I am leaving to-day this body with which I won magic powers, the body which my parents petted when I was a child. So first he wept from grief, and from love of his body which he found it hard to leave. Then he thought: With a new body I can learn more magic. So he danced from joy at getting youth." When the goblin heard this answer, he returned quickly to the sissoo tree.
And as he walked with difficulty along the cemetery road, he came upon the sissoo tree at some distance, and saw a body hanging on it. So he climbed the tree, cut the rope, and let it fall to the ground. And as it fell, it unexpectedly cried aloud, as if alive. Then the king climbed down, and thinking it was alive, he mercifully rubbed its limbs. Then the body gave a loud laugh.
Great-minded people do not waver until they have kept their promises, even at the cost of life. The Parrot and the Thrush. Which are worse, men or women? Then the king went back to the sissoo tree to fetch the goblin. When he got there, he took the body with the goblin in it on his shoulder, and started off in silence.
"But the king knew the law-books very well, and he had spies to find out the facts among the people. And he knew about the doings of rascals. So he acted without thinking. He is to blame." When the goblin heard this, he wanted to test the king's constancy. So he went back by magic in a moment to the sissoo tree. And the king went back fearlessly to get him.
