Adapted from the Portuguese . The Jogi 's Punishment Once upon a time there came to the ancient city of Rahmatabad a jogi -LSB- FN # 1 : A Hindu holy man . -RSB- of holy appearance , who took up his abode under a tree outside the city , where he would sit for days at a time fasting from food and drink , motionless except for the fingers that turned restlessly his string of beads . The fame of such holiness as this soon spread , and daily the citizens would flock to see him , eager to get his blessing , to watch his devotions , or to hear his teaching , if he were in the mood to speak . Very soon the rajah himself heard of the jogi , and began regularly to visit him to seek his counsel and to ask his prayers that a son might be vouchsafed to him . Days passed by , and at last the rajah became so possessed with the thought of the holy man that he determined if possible to get him all to himself . So he built in the neighbourhood a little shrine , with a room or two added to it , and a small courtyard closely walled up ; and , when all was ready , besought the jogi to occupy it , and to receive no other visitors except himself and his queen and such pupils as the jogi might choose , who would hand down his teaching . To this the jogi consented ; and thus he lived for some time upon the king 's bounty , whilst the fame of his godliness grew day by day . Now , although the rajah of Rahmatabad had no son , he possessed a daughter , who as she grew up became the most beautiful creature that eye ever rested upon . Her father had long before betrothed her to the son of the neighbouring rajah of Dilaram , but as yet she had not been married to him , and lived the quiet life proper to a maiden of her beauty and position . The princess had of course heard of the holy man and of his miracles and his fasting , and she was filled with curiosity to see and to speak to him ; but this was difficult , since she was not allowed to go out except into the palace grounds , and then was always closely guarded . However , at length she found an opportunity , and made her way one evening alone to the hermit 's shrine . Unhappily , the hermit was not really as holy as he seemed ; for no sooner did he see the princess than he fell in love with her wonderful beauty , and began to plot in his heart how he could win her for his wife . But the maiden was not only beautiful , she was also shrewd ; and as soon as she read in the glance of the jogi the love that filled his soul , she sprang to her feet , and , gathering her veil about her , ran from the place as fast as she could . The jogi tried to follow , but he was no match for her ; so , beside himself with rage at finding that he could not overtake her , he flung at her a lance , which wounded her in the leg . The brave princess stooped for a second to pluck the lance out of the wound , and then ran on until she found herself safe at home again . There she bathed and bound up the wound secretly , and told no one how naughty she had been , for she knew that her father would punish her severely . Next day , when the king went to visit the jogi , the holy man would neither speak to nor look at him . ` What is the matter ? ' asked the king .
` Wo n't you speak XXXXX me to-day ? ' '
