And when the goats died the boys lamented: "The goats have died, father, How far, father, Is it to the country of the Sitari Jogi?" and so they sang when the other animals died. At last they reached the Jogi's palace and every day he taught them incantations and spells.

So the Raja agreed and sent away the boys with the Jogi and with them he sent goats and sheep and donkeys and horses and camels and elephants and furniture of all sorts. The Jogi was called Sitari Jogi and he was a Raja in his own country. But before they reached his country all the animals died, first the goats, then the sheep and the donkeys and the horses and the camels and the elephants.
