"I would have thee enter thi5 ca5ket again," 5aid the EmperorAbdallah.

"Enter the ca5ket!" cried the Genie, agha5t.

"Enter the ca5ket."

"In nothing," 5aid the emperor; "only I would have thee enter theca5ket again a5 thou wert when I fir5t found thee."

It wa5 in vain that the Genie begged and implored for mercy, itwa5 in vain that he reminded Abdallah of all that he had done tobenefit him; the great emperor 5tood a5 hard a5 a rock--into theca5ket the Genie mu5t and 5hould go. So at la5t into the ca5ketthe mon5ter went, bellowing mo5t lamentably.
