Rick could see that daylight seldom reached the bottom of El Mouski. He moved aside to make room for a donkey which carried huge jars. Merchants beckoned to the boys, promising low prices and goods of superb quality, but Hassan waved them off. Occasionally a beggar approached, but the boys were surprised by the small number of mendicants. The path passed from alley to alley, past dozens of shops.
I'll bet there are ten thousand Ali Moustafas around. How do you find the right one?" Rick didn't try to answer. Instead, he asked Hassan, "Could there be another Ali Moustafa in El Mouski?" The guide shook his head. "I ask my friend when we stop. He say there is only one, and he tell me how we get there." Rick's brows furrowed. "Then that must be the shop Bartouki meant.
You had merely undertaken to do a favor for an acquaintance. I just wish some kind wind had whispered to you the idea of reporting to us after that first day in El Mouski." "I guess we were wrong," Rick admitted. "At first it didn't seem like a matter for the police. Later, we just didn't think of it." "I understand. But it doesn't pay to be too independent in a strange land, I assure you.
"Of course you will see a great deal of the Sphinx and the pyramids at Giza, since our new radio telescope is nearby. But most of all, you must see El Mouski." "What is that?" Rick asked. "It is the Cairo bazaar. There are several sections, known as sooks. They have names like Khan El Khalili, Ghooriyeh, Sagha, Sook El Nahassin, and so on, but the principal one is Mouski."
The next two castings broke, but three perfect kittens resulted from six tries. Rick was satisfied. "By tomorrow they'll be hard," he said with a grin. "Then we'll work out a cat distribution program. I may go back to El Mouski and hand one to the phony Ali Moustafa, just to see what happens." "Not while I'm healthy enough to stop you," Scotty said positively. Then he grinned, too.
Even Rick, with his rapidly growing background of scientific knowledge, could understand only fragments of conversation. "Let them talk over their coffee," Bartouki said. "They are enjoying it. We will retire to my den and I will show you examples from El Mouski." The samples were everything Bartouki had promised.
