ABSTRACT

It happened. If it didn't happen, it will never happen, for the wonders that took place during the blessed memory of Kaukorň King have ceased. Once there was a king and a queen and they had so much wealth that no king in the world could equal them. But all that wealth pleased them little, and from year to year they became all the sadder, for they had no heir. "Ah, to whom, to whom should we leave this our kingdom and all our treasures after our deaths!" wailed the queen. "Who knows into whose evil hands it will fall and afterward everything will be ruined!"
