rascals, I will take you before the 

 king, and rip up your bellies. They 

 all went on before : the Kotwal 

 thus supplicated the king : Sire, I 

 will now sacrifice myself ; my bro- 

 ther went to make offerings at the 

 shrine of a certain saint ; these peo- 

 pie have killed my brother and tak- 

 en his wife. To-day I was sitting 

 in the bazar and saw this mob, who 

 came before me to decide their dis- 

 pute. I saw the woman and recog- 

 nized her as my brother's wife; I 

 have brought them before your ma- 

 jesty, now rip up all their bellies. 

 The king asked where is the woman. 

 They pointed her out, and when the 

 king saw her, he said, you impudent 

 scoundrels, this is my slave girl, the 

 keeper of my keys. She has taken 

 away an immense quantity of jewels, 

 now deliver up my property. They 

 were all confounded. He said, take 

 them away, and rip up all their bel- 

 lies. They were ripped up ; the king 

 took the woman to wife.

There was a man in the city of 

 the royal residence, who by the 

 decree of God had a son whom he 

 named Mulla Mansur. The boy was 

 seven years of age when his father 

 and mother died ; he went and en- 

 gaged himself to serve the Kazi as 

 horsekeeper. By the decree of God 

 one day the Kazi got angry and 

 beat him, the boy left the house ; the 

 Kazi said, my boy don't go out, 

 you will die of hunger. The boy 

 said, oh fool, God is kind and merci- 

 ful, don't say so, I will not do you a 

 single service. The boy went out of 

 the city and took what he had with 

 him to the road. By the permission 

 of God he went along with what he 

 had. He saw an old man on the 

 road, and asked may I come with 

 you, the old man said, come my dear 

 by my eyes, let us go. They went 

 to the city of the old man who him- 

 self entertained the boy. The old 

 man had a daughter who was very
