Of course the first thing he did was to pay his respects to the Sultan , who was eager to hear about his adventures . When Fortunatus had told them all , the Sultan observed : ` Well , you have seen many wonderful things , but I have something to show you more wonderful still ; ' and he led him into a room where precious stones lay heaped against the walls . Fortunatus ' eyes were quite dazzled , but the Sultan went on without pausing and opened a door at the farther end . As far as Fortunatus could see , the cupboard was quite bare , except for a little red cap , such as soldiers wear in Turkey . ` Look at this , ' said the Sultan . ` But there is nothing very valuable about it , ' answered Fortunatus . ` I 've seen a dozen better caps than that , this very day . ' ` Ah , ' said the Sultan , ` you do not know what you are talking about . Whoever puts this cap on his head and wishes himself in any place , will find himself there in a moment . ' ` But who made it ? ' asked Fortunatus . ` That I can not tell you , ' replied the Sultan . ` Is it very heavy to wear ? ' asked Fortunatus . ` No , quite light , ' replied the Sultan , ` just feel it . ' Fortunatus took the cap and put it on his head , and then , without thinking , wished himself back in the ship that was starting for Famagosta . In a second he was standing at the prow , while the anchor was being weighed , and while the Sultan was repenting of his folly in allowing Fortunatus to try on the cap , the vessel was making fast for Cyprus . When it arrived , Fortunatus found his wife and children well , but the two old people were dead and buried . His sons had grown tall and strong , but unlike their father had no wish to see the world , and found their chief pleasure in hunting and tilting . In the main , Fortunatus was content to stay quietly at home , and if a restless fit did seize upon him , he was able to go away for a few hours without being missed , thanks to the cap , which he never sent back to the Sultan .
By-and-by he grew old , and feeling that he had not many days to live , he sent XXXXX his two sons , and showing them the purse and cap , he said to them : ` Never part with these precious possessions .
