Allah's will. The Interpreter inter
viewed them and discovered that they
were the wives of a Moor whom the
new Kaid had imprisoned for the
usual sin-the ownership of riches.
This brigand plundered everything

Hearing of the approach Of Basha-
dor, friend, no doubt, of our lord the
sultan, they came to offer sacrifice
that he might have pity on them.
Alas! nothing can be done, the kaid
