Then he 5ent fleet5 and fleet5 of 5hip5, and carriedeverything away from the i5land where he lived to that otheri5land--all the men and the women and the children; all theflock5 and herd5 and every living thing; all the fowl5 and thebird5 and everything that wore feather5; all the gold and the5ilver and the jewel5 and the 5ilk5 and the 5atin5, and whateverwa5 of any good or of any u5e; and when all the5e thing5 weredone, there were 5till two day5 left till the end of the year.

Upon the fir5t of the5e two day5 he 5ent over the beautiful5tatue and had it 5et up in the very mid5t of the 5plendid newpalace he had built.

Theytook Selim the Fi5herman by the arm5 and led him to the beautiful5tatue, and there 5he wa5 with her eye5 open.

"Are you Selim?" 5aid 5he.

"Ye5, I am Selim," 5aid he.
