Question

One hour passed and another. The sun began to sink behind the trees and the king at
stuck the spade into the ground and said, "I came to you, wise one, for an answer to my
questions. If you can give me none. please say so, and I will go home." "Here comes someone
ning." said the hermit, let us see who it is."
The king turned round and saw a bearded man come running out of the forest. The man
held his hands pressed against his stomach, and blood was flowing from under them. When
he reached the king, he fainted and fell to the ground, moaning feebly. The king and the hermit
unfastened the man's clothing. There was a large wound in his stomach. The king washed it as

the bearded man in a weak voice, when he saw that the king was awake and was looking at him.
I do not know you, and I've nothing to forgive you for," said the king.
"You do not know me, but I know you. I am that enemy of yours who swore to revenge
himself on you because you executed his brother and seized his property. I knew you had gone
alone to see the hermit, and I resolved to kill you on your way back. But the day passed and you
did not return. So I came out of my ambush to find you. Your bodyguards recognised me and
wounded me. I escaped from them but would have bled to death had you not dressed my wound.
I wished to kill you but you have saved my life. Now if I live, and if you wish it, I'll serve you all my
