The Monkey that day also having danced in that city, the King gave him many presents. Taking them, and stealing a cloth from a field where clothes were spread out [to dry], while he was coming a man having met him in the road asked the Monkey, “Monkey, to whom dost thou give the articles that thou art taking every day?”
The Monkey says, “I give them to our Mr. Janel Siññā. I am supporting that gentleman.”
The Monkey having gone to the place where the Prince was, says, “Here is a cloth. It is good for the gentleman, is it not?” and he showed him the cloth which he had stolen.
The Prince threw it aside, and said, “This cloth which I have is enough.”
Next day the Monkey having come to that city and danced, lay down on the lawn of the palace. Then the King asked, “What is it, Monkey, that you have fallen down there for?”
Then the Monkey says, “Our Mr. Janel Siññā burnt his cloth while drinking. I have come to ask you to cause the cloth to be woven for him [anew].”
The King said, “If so, bring it.”
Afterwards the Monkey having gone to the place where the Prince was, brought a thin cloth and gave it to the King. Afterwards the King caused one to be woven, and gave it to him.
Then the Monkey says at the hand of the King, “You ought to marry your Princess to our Mr. Janel Siññā.”
The King said, “Hā. It is very good.”
