The Monkey again went in front. Then again they met with a city. Again the King having called the Monkey asked, “Whose is that city?”
Then the Monkey says, “It is our Mr. Janel Siññā’s. It has been rented out to his work-people. In that way are the cities belonging to our Mr. Janel Siññā [given out].”
Again the Monkey went off in front. Having gone thus, he went to the house of a Rākshasa, and having made the house ready in a second, when he stepped aside the King and the Prince and Princess went in.
The King made the thousand work-people stay there, and having handed over the Princess, next day went back to his city.
Afterwards the Monkey asked at the hand of the Prince, “For the help that you gave me I also am assisting you. What favour besides will you give me?”
Then the Prince says, “When you have died I shall weep abundantly, and having made a coffin, and put you in the coffin, I will bury you.”
Then the Monkey said, “So much indeed is the assistance I want.”
One day the Monkey lay down, trickishly saying that he was getting fever. The Prince did not even go in that direction. Next day and the next day he stayed there; on those days he did not go.
On the third day the Monkey cunningly shutting his eyes remained as though he had died. The Prince said to a man, “Look if that Monkey is dead.”
The man having gone near the Monkey, when he looked it was dead [in appearance]; he said at the hand of the Prince that it was dead. The Prince said, “Having put a creeper round its neck, drag it in the direction of that jungle, and having thrown it there come back.”
