ABSTRACT

Just then Marvizia took the ring in her hand. “Command me! Command me!” it cried. “My command is that a crew of giants appear and drag this sorceress under

the earth!” Immediately the giants appeared, took the massive gold statue, and hauled

it up onto a huge wagon. They hitched up fifty pair of oxen and carried the statue all the way to the queen’s city. There they held a huge celebration because the queen’s son was found at last. The prince and Marvizia were wed, and afterward they had his brother-in-law Ali come too, and all together they set up house in the palace.
