His Majesty and I often spoke to each other but neither of us understood a single word.I tried words from many languages-Dutch,French,Spanish,Italian and Latin.No one could understand my words,not even the cleverest of the Emperor's followers. After about two hours the Emperor left.His wife,children and their servants also went.There were strong guards around me.This was to stop the crowd of people from hurting me. An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry.These men were given to me and I had to choose their punishment.I put five of them in my pocket.Then I pretended(假装) to eat the sixth man. The poor man screamed terribly.The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand.Was I going to cut up the man?But I only cut the binding(捆绑物) round his hands.Then I put him on his feet and let him go.I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground too. The people and the soldiers were very pleased with my great kindness.They told the Emperor about it immediately.The Emperor ordered his men to make a bed for me and they had to join six hundred of their little beds together to make one bed for me. At the same time the Emperor asked all his advisers for their advice on how to deal with.They were very worried.If my binding was cut,I might be dangerous.I was eating so much food that soon all the people would be very hungry.The farmers could not grow enough food to feed all of us.
