"Perhaps it is the key to the garden!" She looked at the key quite a long time. She turned it over and over, and thought about it.
Now the officer was accompanied by other high officers, who also looked on and they laughed to one another, saying, "Was it of the like of this horse that the youth spake?

When it was the Three Hundred and Sixty-second Night,
