Question. 
Who is it that is as the Arab horse ? 
Who is its rider ? 
Who the tyrannous soldier ? 
Whom does he seize and carry off ? 
Answer. 
’Tis the hukka that is the Arab horse. 
Its bowl is the rider. 
The tongs are the tyrannous soldier. 
And it seizes and carries off the fire. 
The following is an incantation sung by a snake charmer 
over a boy supposed to have been bitten.
