Uneasy as to what had become of him, they advanced in the direction in which he had disappeared; but they could discover nothing. They called his name: the wood echoed it. At last the sun set; then said Saad, "Let us return home: your son is a robust and strong young man; he will easily find his way back into the city. Perhaps he has gone home some other way."
Saadi readily submitted, renounced his incredulity; and said to Saad, "I yield to you, and acknowledge that money is not always the means of becoming rich." When Saadi had spoken, I said to him, "I dare not propose to return you the three hundred and eighty pieces of gold which it hath pleased God should be found, to undeceive you as to the opinion of my honesty.
Whereupon Mahomet went immediately, and besieged them so closely in their castles that after twenty-five days they surrendered at discretion. He referred the settlement of the conditions to Saad, son of Moad; who being wounded by an arrow at the ditch, had wished he might only live to be revenged.
The wild animals have now almost entirely disappeared. As will afterwards be shown, the fair since 1848 has diminished to one third its former dimensions. This subject has been fully discussed in Chap. The old Persians. Especially the sea-board Habr Gerbajis clans, the Musa Arrah, the Ali Said, and the Saad Yunis are interested in asserting their claims.

I would advise you not to flatter yourself too much, for fear you may be more sensibly mortified if it should prove otherwise."
And he redoubled in wrath and repeated the following verses: If any other share with me in her whom I adore, I'll root out passion from my heart, though longing me destroy; And I will say unto my soul, "Death is the better part;" For love is naught that men with me in common do enjoy. Then he said to the slave, "Smite her, O Saad!"
I am glad I can tell thee, that the same diamond which made thy fortune is now in my treasury; and I am happy to learn how it came there: but because there may remain in Saadi some doubts on the singularity of this diamond, which I esteem the most precious and valuable jewel I possess, I would have you carry him with Saad to my treasurer, who shall shew it them, to remove Saadi's unbelief, and to let him see that money is not the only means of making a poor man rich in a short time, without labour.
