Then Gautama went to the kings place, and when he had come to him, the king offered him proper respect. In the morning the king went out on his way to the assembly. The king said to him: 'Sir, Gautama, ask a boon of such things as men possess.' He replied: 'Such things as men possess may remain with you. Tell me the speech which you addressed to the boy.'

In plain words: Gautama goes to the king, who welcomes him with respect. The king offers him any worldly gift, but Gautama refuses. He asks only to learn what the king told his son.
