drank their coffees, gave an ecu to the proprietor, and went out. While
going toward the palace Si Mahomet said to-the fisherman:

eat little. When he offers us coffee, drink only a little of it. You will

coffee, and the fisherman did not leave a drop of it. They went out. When
they were outside the palace Si Mahomet said to the fisherman:
"Jew of a fisherman, you are lucky that I do not scratch your face."
They returned to their house. Si Mahomet climbed upon the roof. The
daughter of the King perceived him, and said:
"Come here."
