Chapter 7
HOW GAYELLETE GOT HOME
She thought it was a quiet quite a long journey. She then remembered/[realized] her cap. She said the magic words and with a buzz the winged monkeys came flying toward her; Gayellete ordered them to carry her back home. Gayellete asked them why they had to obey the wearer of the cap. The winged monkeys said, “It’s quiteet a long story, but as we still have a long way to go, I will pass the time by telling you it.” Gayellete said, “Oh, tell me, I am all ears.” “Once,” as the leader began, “there was a beautiful young girl who lived in a castle, she was a princess. Her name was Ruby. Ruby was a sorcerer, all her magic was used to help the people.
“Ruby one day found that she had to marry somebody, but she couldn’t choose, because all the men were just too stupid and ugly to marry such a beautiful and wise girl. But she finally found a handsome and wise man. She said to herself ‘When the child grows up to become a manhood, I would will make him my husband.’ So when the boy Quelala, as he was called, went to Ruby’s castle dressed in rich clothes. But my grandfather who at that time that was the king, happened to walk/pass right by; he saw Quelala and decided to make him fall. He took Quelala by the hand and flew right pasts some clouds, and landed in a lake. Ruby saw that and was very angry.
“She made a golden cap with her magic, and said to my grandfather ‘you have to obey the owner of this cap three times.’ She said this angrily. So after the wedding Quelala started to use the charm of the cap.”
“So that is why you have to obey the wearer of the cap,” said Gayellete, who was greatly interested in the story, “We just obey and do,” said the captain of the winged monkeys. Then Gayellete looked down, and saw her house. The winged monkeys carefully put her down and flew away with a winged and silly laugh.
