"I do not
understand it, for I only know three words--_outini, ouzatini,
ouazakin_." He called a lion, and said to him: "I do not understand
these letters; I only know three words--_outini, ouzatini, ouazakin_"
"Show it to me," said the lion. He approached. The mule struck him between
the eyes and stretched him out stiff.
He who goes with a knave is betrayed by him.

THADHELLALA
A woman had seven daughters and no son. She went to the city, and there saw
a rich shop. A little farther on she perceived at the door of a house a
young girl of great beauty. She called her parents, and said:
"I have my son to marry; let me have your daughter for him."
They let her take the girl away. She came back to the shop and said to the
man in charge of it:
"I will gladly give you my daughter; but go first and consult your father."
The young man left a servant in his place and departed. Thadhellala (that
was her name) sent the servant to buy some bread in another part of the
city. Along came a caravan of mules.
