THE MERCHANT

    IMAGINE, mother, that you are to stay at home and I am to travel into strange lands.

    Imagine that my boat is ready at the landing fully1 laden2.

    Now think well, mother, before you say what I shall bring for you when I come back.

    Mother, do you want heaps and heaps of gold?

    There, by the banks of golden streams, fields are full of golden harvest.

    And in the shade of the forest path the golden champa flowers drop on the ground.

    I will gather them all for you in many hundred baskets.

    Mother, do you want pearls big as the raindrops of autumn?

    I shall cross to the pearl island shore. There in the early morning light pearls tremble on the meadow flowers, pearls drop on the grass, and pearls are scattered3 on the sand in spray by the wild sea-waves.

    My brother shall have a pair of horses with wings to fly among the clouds.

    For father I shall bring a magic pen that, without his knowing, will write of itself.

    For you, mother, I must have the casket and jewel that cost seven kings their kingdoms.
