The prince had it in mind that this might be another magician who could give him some other shape , but still it seemed best to allow himself to be caught . So he played about the girl and let her catch him by the neck . A leash was brought , fruits were given , and it was caressed with delight . It was taken to the palace and tied at the foot of the Lady Jamila 's raised seat , but she ordered a longer cord to be brought so that it might be able to jump up beside her . When the nurse went to fix the cord she saw tears falling from its eyes , and that it was dejected and sorrowful ' O Lady Jamila ! this is a wonderful deer , it is crying ; I never saw a deer cry before . ' Jamila darted down like a flash of lightning , and saw that it was so . It rubbed its head on her feet and then shook it so sadly that the girl cried for sympathy . She patted it and said : ` Why are you sad , my heart ? Why do you cry , my soul ? Is it because I have caught you ? I love you better than my own life . ' But , spite of her comforting , it cried the more . Then Jamila said : ` Unless I am mistaken , this is the work of my wicked sister Latifa , who by magic art turns servants of God into beasts of the field . ' At these words the deer uttered sounds , and laid its head on her feet . Then Jamila was sure it was a man , and said : ` Be comforted , I will restore you to your own shape . ' She bathed herself and ordered the deer to be bathed , put on clean raiment , called for a box which stood in an alcove , opened it and gave a portion of what was in it to the deer to eat . Then she slipped her hand under her carpet and produced a stick to which she said something . She struck the deer hard , it pirouetted and became Prince Almas . The broidered kerchief and the jewels lay upon the ground .
The prince prostrated himself in thanks to heaven and XXXXX , and said : ' O delicious person !
