When Ten hen he got home he was ill and ond could not eat cat And when his mother asked him he told her what was in his heart but did not change his hab hab- its But Dut she went and told her husband husband hus hus- band whose name was Spotless Spotless went and saw how his son was acting so he said My y son why should you bo be downcast Your desire is not hard to obtain For If It I ask Clean Clean- cloth he will surely give you his daughter We are not Inferior to him Wm himIn himIn In birth wealth or social position I know him and he knows me So there Is no DO difficulty about It it IL Thus Spotless comforted his son made him cat and take care of or himself himself himself him him- self went with him next day to Clean- Clean cloths cloth's house and asked that the tho girl rl might be given gITen to his son White And cloth Clean graciously promised to so give her to him Wm Then when tho the time tune came Clean Clean- cloth gave bave White his charming daughter daugh daugh- ter a wife wIro worthy o of him And when he was married White went happily to his fathers father's house with his charmIng charmIng charming charm- charm Ing bride Now as ho lived there happily Lovely's Lovelys Lovelys Lovely's Lovelys Lovely's Love Love- lys ly's brother came camo to visit And wh when i they had asked him about his health i and his sister had greeted him with a I kl kiss s. s and after otter he had rested he said I My Jy father sent me mo to invite Lovely and White to a festival at our house And all the relatives said it was a good plan and entertained him that day with appropriate things to drink an and d ro cat t. t The next morning g White bIte set out for his laws law's house together with his law in and Lovely And when he ho came camo to the ilia city Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beau Beau- he saw the tho great temple of And he said to Lovely and her brother Wo We will see this goddess I will go first and you two stay here So White went In to seo see the goddess goddes He entered the temple templo and bowed ed before before be be- fore tore the goddess whose eighteen arms had killed the tho horrible demons who e lotus-feet lotus were set upon a giant she had crushed And when ho had wor worshipped her an Idea suddenly came to him People People Peo Pea I pIe honor this goddess with all kinds o of living sacrifices Why should I Inot Inot not win her favor by sacrificing myself myself my my- self seU And he fetched a sword from a n deserted Inner room cut off of his own head and let it fall Call to the floor I Presently his law in entered entered entered en en- the temple to see why ho he delayed delayed de de- so long And when ho saw his law in with his head cut old off he be went mad with grief and cut ort off orthis his own head with the same sarno sword in III inthe inthe the same way Then when he failed to come out Lovely was alarmed and ond entered tho temple And when she saw her husband husband hus hus- band and her brother In th that t condition condition condition condi condi- tion she sho cried Alas This is the tha end of oC me and fell feU weeping on the floor But Dut presently she sho rose lamenting for tor tho the pair so unexpectedly dead and thought What Is my life UCe good for tor now Before Defore killing herself she prayed to the tho goddess 0 Goddess One only deity of or happiness and character Partaker of the life of ot Shiva Refuge of ot all women folk Destroyer of grief Why have you killed my husband and brother at one fell feU swoop It was vas not right for I was always devoted t to you Then be my refuge when I pray to tl you and hear my one pitiful pray pray- er I shall leave this wretched body of mine on this spot but In every future life lite of ot mine 0 O Goddess may I have the tho same husband and the same brother Thus she prayed praised and worshipped worshipped worshipped wor wor- shipped the goddess Then she sho tied a rope to an tree which grew greV there But while sho she was arranging the rope about her neck a voice from heaven cried r Do o nothing rash m mj daughter Leave the rope alone Though you aro young I am pleased with your unusual goodness Place Placa the two heads on tho the two bodies and an they thery shall rise up again and live through my favor So Lovely left the rope alone and joyfully went to the bodies But in her great hurry and confusion she made a great mistake She put her husbands husband's head on her brothers brother's body and her brothers brother's head on her husbands husband's husbands husband's hus hus- bands band's body Then they arose sound and well like men awaking from a dream And they were all delighted to hear one ono another's adventures worshipped worshipped wor wor- shipped the goddess and rod went on their way Now as ns she walked along Lovely noticed that she had made a mistake in their heads And she was troubled and did not know what to do When the Goblin had told this story he asked the tho King O 0 King when they were mingled in this way wai wh which h should be her husband husband husband hus hus- band You seem like a very wIseman wise wiseman wiseman man so resolve my doubts on this point If It you know and do not tell me the truth then your head will surely fly into a hundred pieces And if it you give me mo a good answer then will win I jump from your shoulder and go back to tb the tree Then King Victory Triple said to tho the goblin This Is an unpleasant predicament I you are putting me in Whichever way you take tako my answer the consequences consequences consequences conse conse- are not desirable and I have to deposit you in the cemetery Also as you are a master of magic you surely know blow the true answer yourself before I tell it to you Nevertheless I will tell it The body with the husbands husband's head headon on it is 15 her husband For Forthe the head Is Js the most important member It is by bythe bythe bytho the tho head we wo recognize people If It they had no heads how would we know who they were When tho the goblin heard this he went back by magic in a moment to th the tree And the King immediately immediate immedIate- ly went back to get him Ho Ho- was an exceedingly persistent and determined King Twenty-one Twenty more moro times that night he had bad to go goback goback goback back to that tree and get that goblin And twenty-one twenty more moro times Umes the goblin told him a n story stor with a exploder brain-exploder for a stinger to it And Ani twenty times the King exhibited his Judicial mind l by y answering In such fashion that his head did not fl fly into a hundred pieces and ho he only had another another another an an- other trip back to the tree But Dut when he answered tho the goblins goblin's twenty-second twenty and final question truly well weH well what happened then there is no room to tell here |
