| If our coming into this island pleases him not, he will appear in the shape of a dreadful monster ; if it pleases him, he will show himself in the shape of a handsome man. You must rise at once and salute him without going off your mat; for you would certainly perish should you stir from it. You must say to him, 'Lord of the Genii, I wish your majesty may protect me, as you always protected my father; and I most humbly beg of you to give me the ninth statue!'" Then Mobarec began his magic rite. Instantly t heir eyes were dazzled by a long flash of lightning followed by a clap of thunder. The whole island was covered with a thick darkness, a furious storm of wind blew, a dreadful cry was heard, the island felt a shock, as of an earthquake , and the Sultan of the Genii appeared in the shape of a very handsome man, yet there was something terrific in his air. When King Zeyn had spoken the words taught him by Mobarec, the Sultan of the Genii, smiling, an swered: "My son, I loved your father, and each time he came to pay me his respects, I gave him one of his statues. I have no less kindness for you. Some days before your father died, I made him write the words you read on the white satin. | 假使它不乐意我们进入这座岛，当它出现时就会变为可怕的怪物；要是它欢喜，就会显形为一个美男子。 那时你必须立刻起身向它行礼，却不要离开草席，因为你要是离开草席就会死亡。 你必须对它说：「魔王！我愿大王保护我，就如您时常保护我的父亲一般，我非常诚恳的请求您把第九个神像赐给我。」 于是莫比雷克开始他的魔法仪式。 转瞬间他们的眼睛被一道很长的闪光所眩耀，接着是一阵雷声。 全岛被漆黑遮蔽着，吹起一阵大风，听见一声可怕的叫喊，小岛感觉一阵震动犹如地震一般，魔王出现时，外形有如美男子，但多少有些可怕的样子。 当济恩王子说了莫比雷克教给他的话时，魔王微笑着回答着：「我的孩子！我爱你的父亲，他每次来表示敬意时，我给他一个神像。 我对你的善意并不会减少。 在你父亲死前，我教他写你在白缎上所读到的文字。 |
