What you find in the dust-heaps is not enough for both of us . ' ` Go , then , ' answered the master ; and the gazelle went . When the sun had set , the gazelle came back , and the poor man was very glad , and they lay down and slept side by side . In the morning it said to him , ' I am going away to feed . ' And the man replied , ` Go , my son , ' but he felt very lonely without his gazelle , and set out sooner than usual for the dust-heap where he generally found most corn . And glad he was when the evening came , and he could return home . He lay on the grass chewing tobacco , when the gazelle trotted up . ` Good evening , my master ; how have you fared all day ? I have been resting in the shade in a place where there is sweet grass when I am hungry , and fresh water when I am thirsty , and a soft breeze to fan me in the heat . It is far away in the forest , and no one knows of it but me , and to-morrow I shall go again . ' So for five days the gazelle set off at daybreak for this cool spot , but on the fifth day it came to a place where the grass was bitter , and it did not like it , and scratched , hoping to tear away the bad blades . But , instead , it saw something lying in the earth , which turned out to be a diamond , very large and bright . ` Oh , ho ! ' said the gazelle to itself , ` perhaps now I can do something for my master who bought me with all the money he had ; but I must be careful or they will say he has stolen it . I had better take it myself to some great rich man , and see what it will do for me . ' Directly the gazelle had come to this conclusion , it picked up the diamond in its mouth , and went on and on and on through the forest , but found no place where a rich man was likely to dwell . For two more days it ran , from dawn to dark , till at last early one morning it caught sight of a large town , which gave it fresh courage . The people were standing about the streets doing their marketing , when the gazelle bounded past , the diamond flashing as it ran . They called after it , but it took no notice till it reached the palace , where the sultan was sitting , enjoying the cool air . And the gazelle galloped up to him , and laid the diamond at his feet .
The sultan looked first at the diamond and next XXXXX the gazelle ; then he ordered his attendants to bring cushions and a carpet , that the gazelle might rest itself after its long journey .
