Note 5 — The King who became a Thief

H. (Henry) Parker translation

“Having gone away, and been in a party of dancing women, while she was in it one day they came here, the Queen and those women, to dance. Having come and caused the Queen to stay, those women went away. After three or four months the women came back, and calling her, went away with her. While she was here,5 I was born to you.”
