Thousand & One Nights: 114th Night

Queen Shahrazad is the frame story teller. Her sister Dinarzad is also present. Also the King Shahriar. 
The present story was told originally by an Egyptian trader to the king of China.
Title of the story: THE YOUNG MAN WITH SEVERED HAND AND THE GIRL - 5

When the girl threw the piece of fabric back into the shop and turned to go, the young man felt as if his soul was going with her, and cried out to her, "For God's sake, lady, do me a favour and come back." She turned back, saying with a smile, "I am coming back for your sake," and sat in the shop facing the young man.
The young man asked Badr al-Din, "Sir what was the price we set for this piece of fabric?"
"One thousand and two hundred dirhams," came the reply.
The young man asked Badr al-Din to give him a piece of paper, and said to Badr al-Din, "I will give you one hundred dirhams as a profit for it, and write to you a discharge." Then he wrote the discharge, took the piece of fabric and gave it to the lady.
"Take it, my lady, and if you wish, bring me the money next market day, or better yet, accept it as a present from me."
She replied, "May God reward you a larger share of riches and a longer life than mine."
"My lady, this piece of fabric is yours, and only let me see your face," said the young man. She turned her head towards him, lifted her veil, and looked into his eyes. The young man lost his senses. She let down the veil, took the piece of fabric, and said, "I will miss you," and departed. The young man remained in the shop till afternoon prayer, lost in another world.
"She is a lady of wealth, the daughter of a prince who died and left her a great fortune," said Badr al-Din. The young man took leave of Badr al-Din, went to caravanserai, still thinking of a pair of black eyes. When they set supper before him, he could not eat. When he lay down, he could not sleep, and lay awake till the dawn. Then he rose, changed his clothes and hurried to the shop of Badr al-Din.
The break of dawn.

( 16 )CHARLES DICKENS: DAVID COPPERFIELD: CHAPTER 16: I AM A NEW BOY IN MORE SENSES THAN ONE

Next morning, after breakfast, I entered on school life again.  I went, accompanied by Mr Wickfield to the scene of my future studies- a grave building in a courtyard, with a learned air about it that suited very well to the stray rooks and jackdaws who came down from the Cathedral tower to walk with a clerkly bearing on the grass plot - and was introduced to my new master, Doctor Strong. Doctor Strong looked almost as rusty, to my thinking, as the tall iron rails and gates outside the house; and almost as stiff and heavy as the great stone urn that flanked them, and were set up, on the top of red brick wall, at regular distances all round the court, like sublimated skittles for Time to play at.  Doctor Strong was in his library, with his clothes not particularly well brushed, and his hair not particularly combed, his knee-small unbraced, his long black gaiters unbuttoned, and his shoes  yawning like two caverns on the hearth-rug.  Turning upon me a lustreless eye, t...

Sailing Around Erythraean Sea: Eight

Updated 02/11/2024 In the last Section, at Zula (ancient Avalites) the unknown sailor had been giving an account of imports and exports into and out of ports around Zula. Lret us see his further course: After Avalites there is another market-town, better than this, called Malao  distant a sail of about eight hundred stadia. The anchorage is an open roadstead, sheltered by a spit running out from the east. Here the natives are more peaceable. There are imported into this place the things already mentioned, and many tunics, cloaks from Arsinoe, dressed and dyed; drinking cups, sheets of soft copper in small quantity, iron and gold and silver coins, not much. There are exported from these places myrrh, a little frankincense (that is known as far-side), the harder cinnamon, duaca, Indian copal, and macir, which are imported into Arabia; and slaves, but rarely. Notes:- 1. Malao: A coastal town in Eritrea; in Semien-ki-Bahri region known for its beaches and historic port. Now it is calle...

Sailing Around Erythraean Sea: Thirteen

In the previous section Gaurdafui and Tohen on the Red Sea coast were described. Gaurdafui is on the apex of The Horn.Tohen is around 10 kilometres south of Gaurdafui. Gaurdafui's strategic position in relation to Gulf of Aden helped it to align it with known trade routes connecting East Africa to Arabia and India. Continue reading Thirteen. Beyond Taba (modern day Tohen), after four hundred stadia, there is the village of Pano . And then, after sailing four hundred stadia, along a promontory, towards which place the current also draws you, there is another market-town called Opone , into which the same things are imported, as those already mentioned, and in it the greatest quantity of cinnamon is produced, (the arebo, and moto), and slaves of better sort, which are brought to Egypt in increasing numbers and a great quantity of tortoise shell, better than that found elsewhere. My Search:- The village of Pano may be somewhere between Tohen and Hafun. It is widely accepted by scholar...
