A son of a king went out hunting one day with some servants. After three days they set off back home. On the way he found a dead man lying on the ground. The boy was very saddened by this and, on his return, told his father that he had no desire to live a worldly life but wished to go away and become a monk. He went away and met a hermit in a cave who was weaving baskets. The boy stayed with him and made his living through weaving baskets and the like. One day he was accosted by the wife of a king, who asked him to weave a basket for her. When the boy delivered the basket to her, she attempted to seduce him and tempt him by sumptuous gifts. He refused her advances and castigated her. She threatened to tell the prince that he had assaulted her. He prayed to God and, through God’s intervention, somebody came to the door and the boy ran away.
