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 days , and if I am not back in seven days he will not leave the palace till I return . ' ` Very good , ' said the sultan . And it went and it went through the forest and wilderness , till it arrived at a town full of fine houses . At the end of the chief road was a great house , beautiful exceedingly , built of sapphire and turquoise and marbles . ` That , ' thought the gazelle , ` is the house for my master , and I will call up my courage and go and look at the people who are in it , if any people there are . For in this town have I as yet seen no people . If I die , I die , and if I live , I live . Here can I think of no plan , so if anything is to kill me , it will kill me . ' Then it knocked twice at the door , and cried ` Open , ' but no one answered . And it cried again , and a voice replied : ` Who are you that are crying `` Open '' ? ' And the gazelle said , ` It is I , great mistress , your grandchild . ' ` If you are my grandchild , ' returned the voice , ` go back whence you came . Do n't come and die here , and bring me to my death as well . ' ` Open , mistress , I entreat , I have something to say to you . '
` Grandchild , ' replied she , ' I fear to put your life XXXXX danger , and my own too . '
