Feel in her hair and you will
find the knife she used."
They searched her hair and found the knife still covered with blood, which
gave evidence of the crime. The truth was known and innocence was defended.
God avenged the injustice.

THE ROBBER AND THE TWO PILGRIMS
Two robbers spent their time in robbing. One of them got married, and the
other continued his trade. They were a long time without seeing each other.
Finally the one who was not married went to visit his friend, and said to
him:
"If your wife has a daughter, you must give her to me."
"I will give her to you seven days after her birth."
The daughter was born, and the robber took her to bring up in the country.
He built a house, bought flocks, and tended them himself. One day some
pilgrims came to the house. He killed a cow for them and entertained them.
The next day he accompanied them on their pilgrimage. The pilgrims said to
him:
"If you come with us, two birds will remain with your wife."
The woman stayed in the country. One day the son of the Sultan came that
way to hunt.
