'What is thy wage? asked the Vizier, and the gardener answered, 'One dinar every month and no more. Then the Vizier looked round about the garden and seeing in its midst a pavilion, lofty but old and dilapidated, said to the keeper, 'O elder, I am minded to do here a good work, by which thou shalt remember me.
