Question

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

"You do not know me, but I know you. I am

that enemy of yours who swore revenge on you,

because you put my brother to death and seized

my property. I knew you had gone alone to see that

hermit, and I made up my mind to kill you on your

way home. But the day passed and you did not

return. So I left my hiding-place, and I came upon

your bodyguard, who recognised me and wounded

me. I escaped from him but I should have died if

you had not dressed my wounds. I wished to kill

you, and you have saved my life. Now, if I live, I will

serve you as your most faithful servant and will order

my sons to do the same. Forgive me!"
