'It will always be striking ten, said the Cogia, 'till I feel inclined to give you the rope. One day the Cogia put some fowls into a cage and set out for the castle of Siouri. As he was going along he said to himself, 'These poor wretches are here imprisoned: I think I may as well give them a little liberty. So he let them all out, and all the hens ran off in one direction or another.
One day the son of the Cogia said, 'O Father, I know that I was begotten by you. His mother becoming very angry, said, 'What nonsense is the brat talking that he calls himself the son of a whore? Said the Cogia, 'O wife, don't be angry, he is a wise son if he knows what he says he does. Once on a time there was a drunken Governor of Siouri Castle.
One day the Cogia being at Siouri Castle he saw a great many people assembled to look at the moon. 'What a strange land is this, said the Cogia. 'In our country they pay no attention to the moon when it is as big as a cart wheel, but here, when it is quite new and of scarcely any size, what a number of people assemble to look at it.
Forty or fifty years have passed since then. Must not the kid have become an old goat? One day whilst the Cogia was holding an oration at the Castle of Siouri, he was contradicted by the Soubashi or Superintendent. Shortly after, it happened that the Soubashi died and was buried; whereupon they said, 'Come, Efendi, preach a sermon over him. 'You must find some one else, said the Cogia.
One day some people said to the Cogia's son, 'What is padligean? 'It is a little deaf thing which walks without opening its eyes, said the child. 'It did not know that of itself: I taught it, said the Cogia. One day a chariot departed for the Castle of Siouri. The Cogia also set off for that place, running quite naked.
