board [bLd], lion ['laIqn], change [CeInG]

THIS is the picture of the four gull-winged Djinns lifting up Suleiman-bin-Daoud’s Palace the very minute after the Butterfly had stamped. The Palace and the gardens and everything came up in one piece like a board, and they left a big hole in the ground all full of dust and smoke. If you look in the corner, close to the thing that looks like a lion, you will see Suleiman-bin-Daoud with his magic stick and the two Butterflies behind him. The thing that looks like a lion is really a lion carved in stone, and the thing that looks like a milk-can is really a piece of a temple or a house or something. Suleiman-bin-Daoud stood there so as to be out of the way of the dust and the smoke when the Djinns lifted up the Palace. I don’t know the Djinn’s names. They were servants of Suleiman-bin-Daoud’s magic ring, and they changed about every day. They were just common gull-winged Djinns.

The thing at the bottom is a picture of a very friendly Djinn called Akraig (существо в нижней части картинки — изображение очень дружелюбного Джинна, которого зовут Акрейг). He used to feed the little fishes in the sea three times a day (раньше он кормил маленьких рыбок в море три раза в день), and his wings were made of pure copper (а его крылья были сделаны из чистой меди). I put him in to show you what a nice Djinn is like (я вставил его, чтобы показать вам, каков /из себя/ хороший Джинн). He did not help to lift the Palace (он не помогал поднимать Дворец). He was busy feeding little fishes in the Arabian Sea when it happened (он был занят кормлением маленьких рыбок в Аравийском море, когда это случилось).
