Note 1 — The Four Deaf Persons

H. (Henry) Parker translation

A king of a single city had one son, who was a Prince of five years. At that time, a Yakā1 having settled in that kingdom began to devour the people of the city, and by reason of this the whole city was like to be abandoned. At last, the King and the men of the city, making great efforts, seized the Yakā, and having made an iron house, put him in it, and shut the door.
