ABSTRACT
A certain Man was on a journey, and he came to the King of the city, and said "The Pagans are preparing for war, but there is a river in the road which will prevent your passage." Then the King said " Indeed, let me go and see." So he arose, and went to the river side, and said "O River, let those which are in this river hear, I have come to ask them to let me pass that I may go and fight the Pagans." Then from out of the water came voices " What will you give us if you go to war? " And he said " If I go and fight, and return, and God has given me the victory, I will give the Son of the King of the River a Daughter of my own blood in marriage." Then they said " Agreed," and the River went over to one side, and left a passage open. And when he had gone and fought, and captured a large number of Slaves in the Enemy's city, and had returned and crossed the river to go home, the water returned and flowed on as before.
