The Wizard

CHAPTER III
5/13

King, you heard my words and you sent me a man to dwell with me, and that man has taught me your tongue, and I also have taught him, converting him to my faith and giving him a new name, the name of John.

King, now I seek your leave to visit you, and to deliver into your ears the words with which I, Messenger, am charged.

I have spoken."' "Thus I, John, addressed the great ones, my father, and they listened in silence.

When I had done they spoke together, a word here and a word there.

Then Hokosa, the king's mouth, answered me, telling the thought of the king: 'You are a bold man, you whose name is John, but who once had another name--you, my servant, who dare to appear before me, and to make it known to me that you have been turned to a new faith and serve another king than I.Yet because you are bold, I forgive you.
