Instantly the Genie stood before him big, black, ugly, and grim. "What are my lord's commands?" said he. "I command thee," said Abdallah the fagot-maker, who was not half so frightened at the sight of the monster this time as he had been before "I command thee to help me out of this woods."
"Then that decides the matter," said the Wise Judge. "The money belongs to the elder fagot-maker." "But listen, oh my lord judge!" cried Abdallah. "All that this man has spent I have given to him I, who found the money. Yes, my lord, I have given it to him, and myself have spent not so much as single mite."
He was walking up and down the terrace of the garden meditating on these matters, when, leaning over a wall and looking down into the street, he saw a fagot-maker just such a fagot-maker as he himself had one time been driving an ass just such an ass as he had one time driven.
Never before was such a sight seen in that country, as Abdallah and his troop rode through the gates and into the streets of the city. But dazzling and beautiful as were those who rode attendant upon him, Abdallah the fagot-maker surpassed them all as the moon dims the lustre of the stars.
"Who would have thought," said he, looking around him, with the heart within him swelling with pride as though it would burst "who would have thought that only this morning I was a poor fagot-maker, lost in the woods and half starved to death? Surely there is nothing left for me to wish for in this world!" Abdallah was talking of something he knew nothing of.
