CHAPTER V.

HOW THE TWO BROTHERS ARRIVED AT THE COURT OF THE GREAT KAAN.

When the Two Brothers got to the Great Kaan, he received them with

great honour and hospitality, and showed much pleasure at their visit,

asking them a great number of questions. First, he asked about the

emperors, how they maintained their dignity, and administered justice

in their dominions; and how they went forth to battle, and so forth.

And then he asked the like questions about the kings and princes and

other potentates.
