"My great and good King," said the dwarf, "I am honored in being in your midst, and happy in seeing you happy. My life work is ended and I am ready to go." As the autumn leaf falls withered to the ground, so the dwarf fell dead at the king's feet. "My people," said King Savoda, "let us spend the rest of the day mourning for the dwarf and honoring his memory. How shall we best do this?" "My King," said an aged man, "I have a suggestion." "What have you done that you should be allowed to even make a suggestion concerning so great a person as the dwarf," said the King. "My good and wise King, look closely and you will see that I am the captain who was imprisoned for bringing the dwarf into this kingdom." The King looked, and seeing the man had spoken truthfully, told him to draw near. "You shall no longer be the captain of a ship, but the first of my wise men. We will follow your suggestion. Let us have it." "My King," said the captain, "yonder mountain-top upon which the giant Lubercal now lies dead is a solid rock. I suggest that you send your best workmen in stone up there. As they look upon the giant, let them shape out of the rock his exact image with the arms extended. Let them lay a marble slab across the arms, and upon this place the image of the dwarf." The King was so impressed with the suggestion that he sent hundreds of his best workmen to carry it out. A signal told when they had finished the work. Then the King, followed by the people bearing the body of the dwarf, ascended the mountain. He was much pleased with the images, and ordered that the bodies of the giant and the dwarf be buried in the solid rock side by side. As he started to leave he heard some one say: "My brother, Savoda, I am nigh unto death. Hear me ere I depart." The King turned and, seeing it was his brother Savo, clasped him in his arms, and placed a kiss upon his cheek. Savo in a few words begged his brother to forgive him for what he had done, told him of his adventure in the cask and how it ended. He then kissed his brother again and again, and expired. Savoda was so overcome that he had to be borne to his palace. Knowing their King's feelings in the matter, the workmen made an exact image of Savo, and placed it beside that of Lubercal, after which his body was buried close to the others. At the command of the king a huge stone was placed near the statues to remind the king and people of their duty. Ever after that people would take their children to the mountain top and tell them the story of the king's shoes and the lessons to be learned from it. King Savoda lived a long and useful life. His people loved him for his wisdom and goodness. He left twin sons to succeed him. They were so small that both sat in the same chair. They always agreed, and under them the kingdom flourished. They were so much like their father that the people called them the double king with one soul, borrowed from their father.
