Leave all the talking to me . I have provided you with a wife , and have made her presents of clothes and turbans and rare and precious things , so it is needless for you to speak . ' ` Very good , I will be silent , ' replied the man as he mounted the horse . ` You have given all this ; it is you who are the master , and I who am the slave , and I will obey you in all things . ' ` So they went their way , and they went and went till the gazelle saw in the distance the palace of the sultan . Then it said , ` Master , that is the house we are going to , and you are not a poor man any longer : even your name is new . ' ` What IS my name , eh , my father ? ' asked the man . ` Sultan Darai , ' said the gazelle . Very soon some soldiers came to meet them , while others ran off to tell the sultan of their approach . And the sultan set off at once , and the viziers and the emirs , and the judges , and the rich men of the city , all followed him . Directly the gazelle saw them coming , it said to its master : ` Your father-in-law is coming to meet you ; that is he in the middle , wearing a mantle of sky-blue . Get off your horse and go to greet him . ' And Sultan Darai leapt from his horse , and so did the other sultan , and they gave their hands to one another and kissed each other , and went together into the palace . The next morning the gazelle went to the rooms of the sultan , and said to him : ` My lord , we want you to marry us our wife , for the soul of Sultan Darai is eager . ' ` The wife is ready , so call the priest , ' answered he , and when the ceremony was over a cannon was fired and music was played , and within the palace there was feasting . ` Master , ' said the gazelle the following morning , ' I am setting out on a journey , and I shall not be back for seven days , and perhaps not then . But be careful not to leave the house till I come . ' And the master answered , ' I will not leave the house . ' And it went to the sultan of the country and said to him : ` My lord , Sultan Darai has sent me to his town to get the house in order .
It will take me seven XXXXX , and if I am not back in seven days he will not leave the palace till I return . '
