He answered, 'Native, O King, to Shiraz; newly from the City of Shagpat. And the King asked, 'How is it with that hairy wonder? He answered, 'The dark forest flourisheth about him. And the King said, 'That is well! We of the City of Oolb take our fashions from them of the City of Shagpat, and it is but yesterday that I bastinadoed a barber that strayed among us.
