The sheep king tells the emperor that he has not stolen the country's riches, and that after he attacked him, the cashmere he wore disappeared. He offers the emperor three choices: 1) don't give the treasure to the king and face execution; 2) continue to be imprisoned until the truth about the missing treasure is revealed; or 3) help the king in his search for the treasure.
