III

The emperor and all his court came out to meet us at the city gates. The cart stopped at an old temple. It was the largest building in the country. The gate of the temple was large enough for me to creep through. A lot of workmen, fastened very many long chains to my left leg and passed them through a low window near the gate of the temple. On the other side of the road there was a tower. The emperor and his court climbed to the top of the tower to look at me. I could not see them because I was still tied to the cart. When the workmen saw that it was impossible for me to break the chains, they cut the strings that tied me to the cart, and I stood up.

I looked around me. I must say I never saw a nicer place. The country round me was like a large garden. The fields looked like beds of flowers. Between some of the fields there were woods, and the tallest trees were about seven feet high.

The emperor ordered his servants to bring me food and drink. Many people came to have a look at me. To see them better, I lay down on my side. The emperor asked me questions and I answered, but we could not understand each other.

When the emperor left, some of the people who remained shot their arrows at me, and one arrow hit my face near the eye. The captain of my guard ordered his soldiers to seize these people. Six of them were seized, tied and brought to me. I put five of them into my pocket. Then I took the sixth man into my hand and took out my knife. The poor man thought that I wanted to eat him, but I quickly cut the strings that tied him, and put him down to the ground. Then I did the same with the other men. They ran away at once. I saw that the soldiers and all the people were glad to see that I was kind to those six men.

In the evening I crept through the door of my temple and lay down. I could not stand up in the temple, but I could lie with my head at one wall and my feet at the other. I had to sleep on the stone floor for about two weeks. Then a bed was made for me.
