There lives in El Cuds a sheykh of my acquaintance a righteous man, and steadfast in the faith who earns his living, and a fat one, by no other means. He makes the icons and religious pictures for many of our monasteries and great churches.
And in the stalls the cows munched contentedly at their cuds and gazed with gentle curiosity at their two fellow-brutes, who stood waiting the signal to fall upon, and kill each other if need be, for the delectation of their brothers. "Take your places," commanded the master of ceremonies.
