After his long adventures in the sea, Sultan Behlozan arrived at a city, where the great lady was. Behlozan’s lady was very wise, but he was more powerful according to Sultan Behlozan’s sight, as he had discovered his special power while still very small, and with his growth he would fly to the farthest horizons in the jungle.
He was always serving the wolf behind the trees, and would come out at evening carrying a large food tray for her, but the wolf didn’t notice anyone. And during the day Behlozan’s lady would prepare the food trays for him during the day, then Behlozan would take the trays to his lady at evening, and she would eat the food and Behlozan would take the empty tray.
One day, Behlozan went to bring the tray to his lady, but didn’t find her there. So Behlozan thought perhaps his lady was busy with something, so he didn’t disturb her. After some time, Behlozan returned to his house empty-handed because his lady had become angry at him for being late in coming with the tray, and Behlozan had forgotten about the tray because he was busy talking with a snake, and forgot his lady completely.
Thus the two wolves became friends, and the wolf told the snake all he knew about the king of the jungle, and the snake also shared with the wolf all it knew, and became good friends, and Behlozan and his lady were happy with them.
And after a short time, a large lion appeared at the city of Behlozan and his lady, and the lion was looking for a wife, and when he saw Behlozan’s lady, he fell in love with her, and asked her hand in marriage, but she refused and told him that the king of the jungle had asked for her hand a long time ago, and she couldn’t accept his proposal because the king of the jungle Behlozan had asked for her hand a long time ago.
Thus the lion became angry and decided to fight Behlozan, and he came to Behlozan and challenged him. Behlozan accepted the challenge, and Behlozan told the lion that he had already challenged the jungle king to a duel and had won the challenge, so he could challenge him and defeat him with one blow.
Behlozan also told the lion that the lion didn’t know the power of the jungle king, for the jungle king was Behlozan himself. The lion was frightened and left Behlozan’s city, so Behlozan became king of the jungle. And he didn’t go to the lion, and he challenged the lion in a strange, incomprehensible, and mysterious way, for he didn’t challenge the lion with weapons, but challenged him with magical power, and the lion didn’t understand the strange, incomprehensible, and mysterious way, and Behlozan defeated the lion by strangling his neck by the same way Behlozan had defeated the jungle king.
