When the chief of the idol worshipers heard the news he was delighted,
especially about all the wonderful things in the caravan, so he sent more idol
worshipers back with the messengers to capture the Sultan, his ministers and the
caravan, then started to prepare a village festival of thanksgiving to their gods for
their good luck.

When the idol worshipers reached the caravan they found the Sultan and his
ministers still sleeping. Suddenly, the Sultan and his ministers were awakened by
a very loud shriek as the idol worships swooped down upon the unsuspecting
travelers and capture them all.

The idol worshipers bound their captives tightly and led them deeper into the
jungle. As they approached their village much to the horror of the Sultan and his
ministers they saw large bonfires with flames leaping into the sky and huge idols
decorated with flowers with pots of incense being burned as offerings. Men and
women fell prostrate the idols and they were chanting something that did not
sound at all friendly.
