It is the apple of your eye . If sand got into that , it would trouble you . ' ` My wife , your tongue is long , ' and he left the room . The old woman saw she had spoken vainly , and went back weeping to the gazelle . And when the gazelle saw her it said , ` Mother , what is it , and why do you cry ? If it be good , give me the answer ; and if it be bad , give me the answer . ' But still the old woman would not speak , and the gazelle prayed her to let it know the words of the master . At last she said : ' I went upstairs and found the mistress and the master sitting on a couch , and he asked me what I wanted , and I told him that you , his slave , were ill . And his wife asked what was the matter , and I told her that there was not a part of your body without pain . And the master told me to take some red millet and make you gruel , but the mistress said , ` Eh , master , the gazelle is the apple of your eye ; you have no child , this gazelle is like your child ; so this gazelle is not one to be done evil to . This is a gazelle in form , but not a gazelle in heart ; he is in all things better than a gentleman , be he who he may . ' And he answered her , ` Silly chatterer , your words are many . I know its price ; I bought it for an eighth . What loss will it be to me ? ' The gazelle kept silence for a few moments . Then it said , ` The elders said , `` One that does good like a mother , '' and I have done him good , and I have got this that the elders said . But go up again to the master , and tell him the gazelle is very ill , and it has not drunk the gruel of red millet . ' So the old woman returned , and found the master and the mistress drinking coffee . And when he heard what the gazelle had said , he cried : ` Hold your peace , old woman , and stay your feet and close your eyes , and stop your ears with wax ; and if the gazelle bids you come to me , say your legs are bent , and you can not walk ; and if it begs you to listen , say your ears are stopped with wax ; and if it wishes to talk , reply that your tongue has got a hook in it . ' The heart of the old woman wept as she heard such words , because she saw that when the gazelle first came to that town it was ready to sell its life to buy wealth for its master .
