If I send you home , you will come back , and kill me . I dare not do it . ' But Hassebu begged so hard that at last the king said , ` Swear that when you get home you will not go to bathe where many people are gathered . ' And Hassebu swore , and the king ordered his soldiers to take Hassebu in sight of his native city . Then he went straight to his mother 's house , and the heart of his mother was glad . Now the Sultan of the city was very ill , and all the wise men said that the only thing to cure him was the flesh of the King of the Snakes , and that the only man who could get it was a man with a strange mark on his chest . So the Vizir had set people to watch at the public baths , to see if such a man came there .

The moment he had slipped off his robe he was taken before the Vizir , who said to him , ` Lead us to the place where the King of the Snakes lives . ' ' I do not know it ! ' answered he , but the Vizir did not believe him , and had him bound and beaten till his back was all torn . Then Hassebu cried , ` Loose me , that I may take you . ' They went together a long , long way , till they reached the palace of the King of the Snakes . And Hassebu said to the King : ` It was not I : look at my back and you will see how they drove me to it . ' ` Who has beaten you like this ? ' asked the King . ` It was the Vizir , ' replied Hassebu . ` Then I am already dead , ' said the King sadly , ` but you must carry me there yourself . ' So Hassebu carried him . And on the way the King said , ` When I arrive , I shall be killed , and my flesh will be cooked .
