20.THE SAILOR
|
|
THE boat of the boatman Madhu is moored at the wharf of Rajgunj.
|
It is uselessly laden with jute, and has been lying there idle for ever so long.
|
If he would only lend me his boat, I should man her with a hundred oars, and hoist sails, five or six or seven.
|
I should never steer her to stupid markets. I should sail the seven seas and the thirteen rivers of fairyland.
|
But, mother, you won't weep for me in a corner.
|
I am not going into the forest like Ramachandra to come back only after fourteen years.
|
I shall become the prince of the story, and fill my boat with whatever I like.
|
I shall take my friend Ashu with me. We shall sail merrily across the seven seas and the thirteen rivers of fairyland.
|
We shall set sail in the early morning light.
|
When at noontide you are bathing at the pond, we shall be in the land of a strange king.
|
We shall pass the ford of Tirpurni, and leave behind us the desert of Tep?ntar.
|
When we come back it will be getting dark, and I shall tell you of all that we have seen.
|
I shall cross the seven seas and the thirteen rivers of fairyland.
