EXERCISE X. One day, in the village, I bought ninety eggs for ten piastres; yesterday I did not find twenty. To-morrow I shall not go to the city. My boy went to your house; your girl took him in a room, but gave him nothing. The baker is coming from the city to make bread, he wishes to go back to-morrow. I have not brought you any barley; yesterday in the market there was no good barley sold. I had no time for reading. I will walk a little, are you ready? This man saw a fat goose on the road and wished to buy it, but the owner of the goose did not wish to sell it. I go to the city, what will happen I do not know. How many horses. did you see in the meadow? This man if he sees one, says a hundred or a thousand. How often have I told him, but it is no good. EXERCISE XI. I wish to go to the city, but it is not possible. Is it possible to send my boy to fetch the bread that is given? This is a stone that cannot be broken. At the time that you hear of my brother, come, for I must come to the city. To-day I went out, on coming to the meadow I could not find my horses. This man began to call out when he came to my house. Coming to the city we were not able to enter it, and I immediately went to your house. Dogs are where they are not called for. Men who know much do not say much. I said to this man, 'If this load is heavy, tell me.' No one can escape the tongue of the world. Some take one side, and some take the other. TALE III. In this city there was a sagacious old man who had an ass. He continually said, 'My ass is wiser than the Shah's ministers.' One day the report of this reached the Shah's ears; then the Shah caused the old man to be brought before him, and said, 'Why do you say these very stupid words?' The old man said, 'O Shah! there is truth in the words, they are not meaningless, I have frequently experienced it; if the Shah will not be angry I will tell him.' The Shah said, 'Tell me.' The old man said, 'One day, Shah, mounting my ass, I passed over a bridge, suddenly his foot went into a hole, he fell headlong, and saved himself with the greatest trouble. Every time that again he passes over that bridge, he does not go near the hole, but passes it far off. Now, Shah, you are always arresting your viziers, appropriating their property, depriving them of their places, and some of them you put to death; but fearing nothing, they come again. Now my ass once only falling, goes no more near the hole.' EXERCISE XII. He speaks like a fool, but he acts like a wise man. He said those words that you might know that your son is foolish. I have no son who can be my heir after me. When his horse was four years old, it was very good, every one who saw it was astonished, but three years afterwards it died. If a person have a flock of sheep and one of them is black, does this make all the sheep in the flock black or does it not? He began to build a house in every city. I asked him,' Why do you do this?' For your advancement I will tell you a tale. EXERCISE XIII. Tell the truth, you have not shown these flowers to any one? Speak, let me see how many pounds you want for the horse. If he enter Islam the Mussulmans will gain nothing, and the Christians will lose nothing. A purse with a hundred piastres in it fell out of my hand. Who are you? You are my servant, I have hired you for five pounds. OF TRÜBNER & CO., 57 AND 59, LUDGATE HILL, LONDON, E.C.
