“Now hear me， Rabadash，” said Aslan. “Justice shall be mixed with mercy. You shall not always be an Ass.”
At this of course the Donkey twitched its ears forward. and that also was so funny that everybody laughed all the more. They tried not to， but they tried in vain.
“You have appealed to Tash，” said Aslan. “And in the temple of Tash you shall be healed. You must stand before the altar of Tash in Tashbaan at the great Autumn Feast this year and there， in the sight of all Tashbaan， your ass’s shape will fall from you and all men will know you for Prince Rabadash. But as long as you live， if ever you go more than ten miles away from the great temple in Tashbaan you shall instantly become again as you now are. And from that second change there will be no return.”
There was a short silence and then they all stirred and looked at one another as if they were waking from sleep. Aslan was gone. But there was a brightness in the air and on the grass， and a joy in their hearts， which assured them that he had been no dream： and anyway， there was the donkey in front of them.
King Lune was the kindest.hearted of men and on seeing his enemy in this regrettable condition he forgot all his anger.
