Why , that your idea is capital , and you shall be rewarded for it . Come , guards , hurry as fast as you can and bring the seventh Simon before me . ' Not many minutes later , Simon the seventh stood before the king , who explained to him what he wished done , and also that to steal for the benefit of his king and country was by no means a wrong thing , though it was very wrong to steal for his own advantage . The youngest Simon , who looked very pale and hungry , only nodded his head . ` Come , ' said the king , ` tell me truly . Do you think you could steal the Princess Helena ? ' ` Why should I not steal her , sire ? The thing is easy enough . Let my brother 's ship be laden with rich stuffs , brocades , Persian carpets , pearls and jewels . Send me in the ship . Give me my four middle brothers as companions , and keep the two others as hostages . ' When the king heard these words his heart became filled with longing , and he ordered all to be done as Simon wished . Every one ran about to do his bidding ; and in next to no time the wonder-ship was laden and ready to start . The five Simons took leave of the king , went on board , and had no sooner set sail than they were almost out of sight . The ship cut through the waters like a falcon through the air , and just a week after starting sighted the Island of Busan . The coast appeared to be strongly guarded , and from afar the watchman on a high tower called out : ` Halt and anchor ! Who are you ? Where do you come from , and what do you want ? ' The seventh Simon answered from the ship : ` We are peaceful people . We come from the country of the great and good King Archidej , and we bring foreign wares -- rich brocades , carpets , and costly jewels , which we wish to show to your king and the princess .
We desire to trade -- XXXXX sell , to buy , and to exchange . '
