The escape by ship, and a princess abandoned by the very friends she saved — who walks to their own city, proclaims herself a heaven-born dice-player, and wins back everything, including the prince who doubted her. Then the four friends return at last to the field of bones, to turn the hermit's gift to its true purpose: a city of the dead, called back to life.

From Folk-Tales of Bengal by Lal Behari Day (1883), public domain; told in a modern in-house rendering.
