Then he said to his officers, 'Bring to me the magician Zazamankh. And when the magician came, the King said to him, 'O Zazamankh, I have sought through all my palace for some delight, and I have found none. Then said Zazamankh, 'Let thy Majesty go in thy boat upon the lake of the palace, and let twenty beautiful girls be brought to row thee, and let their oars be of ebony, inlaid with gold and silver.
And they did all things as his majesty commanded. The royal sou Bau-f-ra then stood forth and spake. He said, "I will tell thy majesty of a wonder which came to pass in the days of thy father Seneferu, the blessed, of the deeds of the chief reciter Zazamankh. One day King Seneferu, being weary, went throughout his palace seeking for a pleasure to lighten his heart, but he found none.
Then his Majesty said, 'Why have you stopped rowing, little one? And the maiden answered, 'It is because my jewel of turquoise has fallen into the water. 'Row on, said the King, 'and I will give you another. But the girl answered, 'I want my own one back, as I had it before. So King Seneferu called Zazamankh to come to him, and said, 'Now, Zazamankh, I have done as you advised, and my heart is light; but, behold, the coronet of this little one has fallen into the water, and she has stopped singing, and spoiled the rowing of her side; and she will not have a new jewel, but wants the old one back again.
"Then Zazamankh the wizard stood up in the King's boat, and spoke wonderful words. And, lo! the water of one half of the lake rose up, and heaped itself upon the top of the water of the other half, so that it was twice as deep as it was before.
