And so, they would not suspect that he had stolen the jewels somewhere, he told them whose son he was, his misadventure and the betrayal by the perfidious counselor and the malicious Sultana. They were very surprised by this and knowing from his appearance that he truly was the son of a great prince, they expressed gratitude for the gifts he had made them. In order for him to better be able to avenge his betrayal all three taught him their magic skills. And he made them promise that they would not avail themselves of these, not even partially, in the future.
Now that the young man had learned the three magic skills, he knew that with these he could avenge the perfidious counselor and his wicked stepmother. He remained with the three wayfarers for several days and after he gained more experience with the magic skills, he took leave from them and departed. And because he wanted to begin to take revenge and to demonstrate his innocence to his father, he used the secret by which the devils would come to his service. He retained a single one of them and dismissed all the others. He ordered him to lead him to the city of his father the evening of the same day.
He obeyed him without delay and brought him to the city of the Sultan in front of the palace. He stayed the night at the home of an old woman. Then the following morning he got up early and used another secret; he left the house and saw everybody while nobody saw him.
