And he sent for the old woman , who by the orders of the head , was waiting below . ` Your son has carried out my wishes very nicely , ' he said . ` The garden is larger and better than that of any other king . But when I walk across it I shall need some place to rest on the other side . In forty days he must build me a palace , in which every room shall be filled with different furniture from a different country , and each more magnificent than any room that ever was seen . ' And having said this he turned round and went away . ` Oh ! he will never be able to do that , ' thought she ; ` it is much more difficult than the hill . ' And she walked home slowly , with her head bent . ` Well , what am I to do next ? ' asked the head cheerfully . And the old woman told her story . ` Dear me ! is that all ? why it is child 's play , ' answered the head ; and troubled no more about the palace for thirty-nine days . Then he told the old woman to go to the bridge and call for Hassan . ` What do you want , old woman ? ' asked Hassan , when he appeared , for he was not as polite as the others had been . ` Your master commands you to build the most magnificent palace that ever was seen , ' replied she ; ` and you are to place it on the borders of the new garden . ' ` He shall be obeyed , ' answered Hassan .
And when the sultan woke he saw , in the distance , a palace built XXXXX soft blue marble , resting on slender pillars of pure gold .
