The sage, whose kindness knew no bounds, complied with his pet's request, and turned him into a wild boar. For two whole days our boar kept his body soaking wet, and on the third day, as he was splashing about in his favourite element, whom 134 IX THE ORIGIN OF OPIUM should he see but the king of the country riding on a richly caparisoned elephant.
