me quickly. Tlie woman said, wait, 

 I will go into the house, and come 

 again : she went and brought out a 

 basket, she says to the Wazir, get 

 into this, the Wazeer gets in, she 

 closes the mouth and drags him into 

 the house. The king says, what is 

 that, she says, it is some grain: a noise 

 took place of the Wakil's approach. 

 The king said the Wakil is come, 

 the woman said stop, I will go out 

 and see who it is : the woman went 

 out and saw the Wakil and made him 

 a salam, are you quite well my love ? 

 The Wakil said let us go into the 

 house ; she said, you wretch, the king 

 is there seated in the house: he said, 

 what is our plan; the woman said 

 let your mind be at rest, I will do 

 your business, make yourself a tail 

 with this spoon and go on all fours, 

 in the cowhouse, they will take you 

 for a calf. The woman shut the door 

 and locked it, she went upon the 

 terrace and lied down with her hus- 

 band. The king became thirsty and 

 called out, here girl give me some 

 water, the Kazi grinds faster than 

 ever. " Here, you girl, I'll throw a 

 stone at you." The Kazee turned 

 round his head. The king said, are 

 you the Kazi. He said, yes : he 

 said, sit up. The Kazi gets up and 

 comes and sits near the fire, and 

 then asks, pray sire, what is the 

 news: he said this is the news that 

 you see, let me see what grain you 

 were grinding : the woman comes 

 down from the terrace with her hus- 

 band, they both saluted the king, 

 and said, this is your plight, your 

 majesty, this is the Kazi's plight, 

 this is the Wakil's, this is the Wa- 

 zir's. The king said, where is the 

 Wazir, and where is the Wakil : 

 the woman said be seated, I will 

 shew you : the king sits down, the 

 woman said, open the mouth of the 

 basket : they took out the Wazir. 

 The king said, Wazir, how are you; 

 the'Wazir said your majesty's con- 

 dition is pleasant, mine is unplea- 

 sant, the woman said, let us go out- 

 side, they all went out to the cow- 

 house ; the king said where is the 

 Wakil, the woman said here he is 

 Sir, with a spoon for his tail. The 

 king said I respect you as my mother
