  1. (continued from previous page)
    The fox said if the king only knew what I know he would be a happy man because if he rubbed his eyes to that tree he would get his sight immediately.
    At these words True rubbed his eyes to the tree and got his sight immediately. The next day he went to the king's house and asked him what would he give him if he cured his eyes and he said he would give him half his kingdom. Away they went to the lime tree and when they reached there, the kind did what he was told and he got his sight. The king was so delighted that he gave him his daughter also.
