`` What is the cure for your blindness ? '' ' `` Not far from this place , '' they said , `` a cow comes up from the great sea to graze ; a little of her dung would cure us . We should be eternally your debtors . Do not let the cow see you , or she will assuredly kill you . '' ` With renewed strength and spirit I went to the shore . There I watched the cow come up from the sea , graze , and go back . Then I came out of my hiding , took a little of her dung and conveyed it to the peris . They rubbed it on their eyes , and by the Divine might saw again . ` They thanked heaven and me , and then considered what they could do to show their gratitude to me . `` Our peri-king , '' they said , `` has a daughter whom he keeps under his own eye and thinks the most lovely girl on earth . In good sooth , she has not her equal ! Now we will get you into her house and you must win her heart , and if she has an inclination for another , you must drive it out and win her for yourself . Her mother loves her so dearly that she has no ease but in her presence , and she will give her to no one in marriage . Teach her to love you so that she can not exist without you . But if the matter becomes known to her mother she will have you burned in the fire . Then you must beg , as a last favour , that your body may be anointed with oil so that you may burn the more quickly and be spared torture . If the peri-king allows this favour , we two will manage to be your anointers , and we will put an oil on you such that if you were a thousand years in the fire not a trace of burning would remain . '' ` In the end the two peris took me to the girl 's house . I saw her sleeping daintily . She was most lovely , and I was so amazed at the perfection of her beauty that I stood with senses lost , and did not know if she were real or a dream .
When at last I saw that she was a real girl , I returned thanks XXXXX I , the runner , had come to my goal , and that I , the seeker , had found my treasure .
