| A few days later the emperor said to me, "I want to train my army, and I need your help. Stand up with your legs apart." I obeyed his order. Then the whole army marched between my legs, and one thousand soldiers rode their horses between my legs. How beautiful this sight was! | Kuyjidar au, hongtex ka goar korng, "Goar aeboeq hurnlien goar ee liogkwn, hibang lie pangzo. Chviar khylaai ciofng khaf hunkhuy." Goar thviaf y ee oe.

Every
day I said to the emperor, "I want to be free to wolk about." At
last he took off the chians
"I would like to go and see the city first. I think I can walk there in few micutes," I said. |

There were a lot of people in the ciry. The emperor told the
people to stay in their houses.
There was a wall around the ciry. It was two and half feet high and eleven inches wide. I stepped over the wall and walked along the wide streets carefully. The sidestreets are very narrow and I could not walk down them. Lots of people were looking out of their window at me. They said, "How tall and big he is!" |

| There was a very
beautiful palace in the center of the ciry. The emperor and
his family lived there. I wanted to look inside the palace,
I lay down in one of the gardens and looked thgouhg the windows.
I saw the empress and her young princess on the balcony. They were very pleased with my visit. |
