Be not deceived, O too credulous Brokah! for this that our brother the prince doeth is not in the name of Allah, but of Biz, the only god known in the bazaars of the city." When the foolish Brokah heard these things he cried, "Justice, Aga of the Brokahs, justice and the fulfillment of my bond! Let the prince deliver unto me the stokh.
