When the hashish-eater saw this, he turned his back upon the dish of rice, saying, 'It is unlawful to present my face to thee. Then, when they had made an end of eating, they dispersed and Zumurrud returned to her palace and dismissed her attendants. When the fourth month came round, they made the banquet, as of wont, and the folk sat awaiting leave to begin.
And another said, "Be the far one's wife divorced if this vow be broken: never again to the end of my days will I eat of sugared rice!"; and the Hashish-eater cried "Praised be Allah, who spared me this fellow's fate by saving me from eating of that same rice!" Then they all went out, holding it thenceforth unlawful to sit over against the dish of sweet rice as the Nazarene had sat.
Presently, there came up an ass-driver, a scavenger, who had been out of work for a week and who was an Hashish-eater to boot; and she called him, saying, "Hither, O donkey-boy!" So he came to her and she asked, "Knowest thou my son the dyer?"; whereto he answered, "Yes, I know him."
How canst thou reach over for a dish which is distant from thee? Art thou not ashamed?" Quoth Barsum, "I will eat of none save this same." Rejoined the other, "Eat then, and Allah give thee no good of it!" But another man, a Hashish-eater, said, "Let him eat of it, that I may eat with him." Replied his neighbour, "O unluckiest of Hashish- eaters, this is no meat for thee; it is eating for Emirs.
She shook her head as though that were the last thing possible. "I am to be all alone?" His tone invited commiseration, while his brain soared with the dreams of a hashish-eater. "I think about three may be with you, not more," she said, letting him down to earth again. "Why are you so confident about me?" Her gentle gray eyes met his with friendly understanding.
Thereupon quoth to him one sitting by his side, "Praised be Allah for not making me meat between thy hands; for thou hast cleared the dish at a single mouthful;" and quoth the Hashish-eater, "Let him eat; methinks he hath a hanging face." Then, turning to Jawan he added, "Eat and Allah give thee small good of it."
