I am indeed between the Devil and the Deep Sea . You know how dearly I love Renzolla , and yet , if I fail to bring her to the lizard to-morrow morning , I must say farewell to life . Do advise me what to do . ' When his wife had heard all he had to say , she said to him : ` How do you know , my dear husband , that the lizard is really our enemy ? May she not be a friend in disguise ? And your meeting with her may be the beginning of better things and the end of all our misery . Therefore go and take the child to her , for my heart tells me that you will never repent doing so . ' Masaniello was much comforted by her words , and next morning as soon as it was light he took his little daughter by the hand and led her to the cave . The lizard , who was awaiting the peasant 's arrival , came forward to meet him , and taking the girl by the hand , she gave the father a sack full of gold , and said : ` Go and marry your other daughters , and give them dowries with this gold , and be of good cheer , for Renzolla will have both father and mother in me ; it is a great piece of luck for her that she has fallen into my hands . ' -LSB- Illustration : The Lizard takes charge of Renzolla -RSB- Masaniello , quite overcome with gratitude , thanked the lizard , and returned home to his wife . As soon as it was known how rich the peasant had become , suitors for the hands of his daughters were not wanting , and very soon he married them all off ; and even then there was enough gold left to keep himself and his wife in comfort and plenty all their days . As soon as the lizard was left alone with Renzolla , she changed the cave into a beautiful palace , and led the girl inside . Here she brought her up like a little princess , and the child wanted for nothing . She gave her sumptuous food to eat , beautiful clothes to wear , and a thousand servants to wait on her . Now , it happened , one day , that the king of the country was hunting in a wood close to the palace , and was overtaken by the dark . Seeing a light shining in the palace he sent one of his servants to ask if he could get a night 's lodging there . When the page knocked at the door the lizard changed herself into a beautiful woman , and opened it herself . When she heard the king 's request she sent him a message to say that she would be delighted to see him , and give him all he wanted . The king , on hearing this kind invitation , instantly betook himself to the palace , where he was received in the most hospitable manner . A hundred pages with torches came to meet him , a hundred more waited on him at table , and another hundred waved big fans in the air to keep the flies from him .
Renzolla herself poured out the wine for him , and , so gracefully did she do it , XXXXX his Majesty could not take his eyes off her .
