- עָנָה וְאָמַר: בַּדֶּרֶךְ סִפַּרְתִּי מַעֲשֶׂה שֶׁכָּל מִי שֶׁהָיָה שׁוֹמְעָהּ, הָיָה לוֹ הִרְהוּר תְּשׁוּבָה וְזוֹ הִיא מַעֲשֶׂה בְּמֶלֶךְ אֶחָד, שֶׁהָיוּ לוֹ שִׁשָּׁה בָּנִים וּבַת אֶחָת וְאוֹתָהּ הַבַּת הָיְתָה חֲשׁוּבָה בְּעֵינָיו מְאד וְהָיָה מְחַבְּבָהּ בְּיוֹתֵר וְהָיָה מְשַׁעֲשֵׁעַ עִמָּהּ מְאד פַּעַם אַחַת הָיָה מִתְוַעֵד עִמָּהּ בְּיַחַד בְּאֵיזֶה יוֹם וְנַעֲשָׂה בְּרגֶז עָלֶיהָ וְנִזְרְקָה מִפִּיו דִּבּוּר: שֶׁהַלּא טוֹב יִקַּח אוֹתָךְ בַּלַּיְלָה הָלְכָה לְחַדְרָהּ וּבַבּקֶר לא יָדְעוּ הֵיכָן הִיא וְהָיָה אָבִיהָ מְצַעֵר מְאד וְהָלַךְ לְבַקְּשָׁהּ אָנֶה וָאָנָה עָמַד הַשֵּׁנִי לַמַּלְכוּת, מֵחֲמַת שֶׁרָאָה שֶׁהַמֶּלֶךְ מִצְטַעֵר מְאד וּבִקֵּשׁ, שֶׁיִּתְּנוּ לוֹ מְשָׁרֵת וְסוּס וּמָעוֹת עַל הוֹצָאוֹת, וְהָלַךְ לְבַקְּשָׁהּ וְהָיָה מְבַקְּשָׁהּ מְאד זְמַן מְרֻבֶּה מְאד עַד שֶׁמְּצָאָהּ [עַתָּה מְסַפֵּר אֵיךְ בִּקְּשָׁה עַד שֶׁמְּצָאָהּ].[The Princess Is Lost] Once, there was a king. On the way. And when he returned from the trip I was at his [place] and he repeated and told before us that story and he said, "On the way I told a story" etc., and then he said, "Now I'm going to start telling stories" etc. as printed there in Sipurei Ma`asiyot." (Yemey Moharnat II #11) I told [such] a story that whoever heard it had a thought of teshuvah, return. And this is the story. The king had six sons and one daughter. The daughter was very dear to him, and he would cherish (in other words, love) her exceedingly and play with her very much. One time, while he was together with her on a certain day he became angry with her and the words, "Let the Not-Good take you away!" escaped from his mouth. At night she went to her room; in the morning no one knew where she was. Her father (the king) was very afflicted and went here and there looking for her. The viceroy [lit. second in kingship] arose because he saw the king was very distressed, and asked to be given an attendant, a horse and money for expenses, and he went to search for her. He searched hard for her, for a very long time, until he found her. (Now he tells how he searched for her until he found her.)

וְהָיָה הוֹלֵךְ אָנֶה וָאָנָה זְמַן רַב וּבַמִּדְבָּרִיּוֹת וּבַשָּׂדוֹת וּבַיְּעָרִים וְהָיָה מְבַקְּשָׁהּ זְמַן רַב מְאד וְהָיָה הוֹלֵךְ בַּמִּדְבָּר, וְרָאָה שְׁבִיל אֶחָד מִן הַצַּד וְהָיָה מְיַשֵּׁב עַצְמוֹ בַּאֲשֶׁר שֶׁאֲנִי הוֹלֵךְ כָּל כָּךְ זְמַן רַב בַּמִּדְבָּר וְאֵינִי יָכוֹל לְמָצְאָהּ אֵלֵךְ בַּשְּׁבִיל הַזֶּה, אוּלַי אָבוֹא לִמְקוֹם יִשּׁוּב וְהָיָה הוֹלֵךְ זְמַן רַב.[The Viceroy Seeks Her a Long Time, Until He Finds Her] He went a long time, in deserts, fields and forests, and was seeking her quite a long time. He was going around in desert area and saw a way from the side. He decided, "Since I have been going for such a long time in the wilderness and cannot find her, I will follow this path; maybe I will reach a settled area." He went for a long time.

אַחַר כָּךְ רָאָה מִבְצָר, וְכַמָּה חֲיָלוֹת הָיוּ עוֹמְדִים שָׁם סְבִיבוֹ וְהַמִּבְצָר הָיָה נָאֶה וּמְתֻקָּן וּמְסֻדָּר מְאד עִם הַחֲיָלוֹת וְהָיָה מִתְיָרֵא מִפְּנֵי הַחֲיָלוֹת, פֶּן לא יַנִּיחוּהוּ לִכְנס וְהָיָה מְיַשֵּׁב עַצְמוֹ: אֵלֵךְ וַאֲנַסֶּה וְהִשְׁאִיר הַסּוּס וְהָלַךְ לְהַמִּבְצָר, וְהָיוּ מַנִּיחִים אוֹתוֹ, וְלא עִכְּבוּהוּ כְּלָל וְהָיָה הוֹלֵךְ מֵחֶדֶר לְחֶדֶר בְּלִי עִכּוּב וּבָא לְארמון אֶחָד וְרָאָה, שֶׁיָּשַׁב שָׁם הַמֶּלֶךְ בַּעֲטָרָה וְכַמָּה חֲיָלוֹת שָׁם וְכַמָּה מְשׁוֹרְרִים בְּכֵלִים לְפָנָיו וְהָיָה שָׁם נָאֶה וְיָפֶה מְאד וְהַמֶּלֶךְ וְשׁוּם אֶחָד מֵהֶם לא שְׁאָלוּהוּ כְּלָל וְרָאָה שָׁם מַעֲדַנִּים וּמַאֲכָלִים טוֹבִים, וְעָמַד וְאָכַל וְהָלַךְ וְשָׁכַב בְּזָוִית לִרְאוֹת מַה נַּעֲשֶׂה שָׁם.Later on he saw a castle and many soldiers standing around it. The castle was very beautiful, with the soldiers standing around it in fine order. He was afraid of the soldiers lest they not let him enter. He decided, "I will go and try," and he left the horse and went to the castle. They let him [enter], and did not hinder him at all, so he went from room to room, and they did not stop him. He came to a palace and saw the king sitting there with a crown and many soldiers standing around him. And many were playing on instruments for him and it was very pleasant and beautiful there. And [neither] the king nor any of them asked the viceroy a thing. And he saw there delicacies and good foods, and he went and ate, and went and lay down in a corner to see what would be done there.

וְרָאָה שֶׁהַמֶּלֶךְ צִוָּה לְהָבִיא הַמַּלְכָּה וְהָלְכוּ לְהָבִיא אוֹתָהּ וְהָיָה שָׁם רַעַשׁ גָּדוֹל וְשִׂמְחָה גְּדוֹלָה וְהַמְשׁוֹרְרִים הָיוּ מְזַמְּרִים וּמְשׁוֹרְרִים מְאד בַּאֲשֶׁר שֶׁהֵבִיאוּ אֶת הַמַּלְכָּה וְהֶעֱמִידוּ לָהּ כִּסֵּא וְהוֹשִׁיבוּהָ אֶצְלוֹ וְהִיא הָיְתָה הַבַּת מֶלֶךְ הַנַּ"ל וְהוּא [הַיְנוּ הַשֵּׁנִי לַמַּלְכוּת] רָאָהּ וְהִכִּירָהּ אַחַר כָּךְ הֵצִיצָה הַמַּלְכָּה וְרָאֲתָה אֶחָד, שֶׁשּׁוֹכֵב בַּזָּוִית וְהִכִּירָה אוֹתוֹ וְעָמְדָה מִכִּסְאָהּ וְהָלְכָה לְשָׁם וְנָגְעָה בּוֹ וְשָׁאֲלָה אוֹתוֹ: הַאַתָּה מַכִּיר אוֹתִי ? וְהֵשִׁיב לָהּ: הֵן, אֲנִי מַכִּיר אוֹתָךְ אַתְּ הִיא הַבַּת מֶלֶךְ שֶׁנֶּאֶבְדָה.He saw that the king called for the queen to be brought, and they went to bring her. And there was a great commotion and a great celebration, and the musicians played and sang vigorously because they were bringing the queen. And they placed a throne for her and seated her next to him. And she was the king's daughter, and he (the viceroy) saw her and recognized her. Later, the queen glanced and saw someone lying in a corner. She recognized him and rose from her throne, went to him, touched him and asked him, "Do you recognize me?" And he answered her, "Yes, I know you. You are the king's daughter who was lost."
