It isn't like Calcutta, where I used to work in gold before I was wrecked at sea, and nearly drowned. Zog rescued me and brought me here a slave. It is a stupid life we lead, doing the same things over and over every day; but perhaps it is better than being dead. I'm not sure. The only pleasure I get in life is in creating pretty things out of gold.

Could you forge me a golden sword?
human
I could, madam; but I won't unless Zog orders me to do it.
gpt
Do you like Zog better than you do me?
human
No, was the answer.
gpt
I hate Zog.
human
Then won't you make the sword to please me--and to show your skill?
gpt
I'm afraid of my master. He might not like it,
human
But he will never know,
gpt
You cannot say what Zog knows; or what he doesn't know, growled the man.
human
I can't take chances of offending Zog, for I must live with him always as a slave.
