Then that boy, who was overpowered with pain, began to cry with a loud noise. Then king Seniya, hearing the cries of that boy, went to him and having done so he took that boy in the cavity of his hand, and having done so he put the tip of the finger in his mouth and having done so he sucked up the pus and blood with his mouth.
