And the master answered, ‘I will not leave the house.’ And it went to the sultan of the country and said to him: ‘My lord, Sultan Darai has sent me to his town to get the house in order. It will take me seven days, and if I am not back in seven days he will not leave the palace till I return.’ ‘Very good,’ said the sultan. And it went and it went through the forest and wilderness, till it arrived at a town full of fine houses.
