"Well?"
"Well, ha, ha, ha!" Carrambo evidently couldn't contain himself, "he wants one bottle of goo-goo."
The royal command was obeyed by Frank and Duncan, Carrambo accompanying them to carry the goo-goo.
The king laughed like one possessed when he saw the bottle, and made various signals for a drink, holding out the same old nutshell.
It was three times filled, and Carrambo himself was also presented with a nutful.
Then the king waxed communicative, and, after calling upon two of his wives to fan him, and two more to cool Duncan and Frank down, he said he would tell them the story of the fort, and Carrambo himself stood by to translate.
The story was certainly a sort of a "freezer", as Frank termed it, but Carrambo, I have no doubt, gave a very literal translation thereof.
Let me carry it on to the next chapter please.
