Thousand & One Nights:158th Night: The Barber Tells His Story -7

When my brother came to himself, the old woman said to him, "You have to do one more thing to have you her in your arms. When she gets intoxicated, she will not let anyone to have her. You take off your shirt and trousers and stand naked. Then she runs away as if she is trying to escape. But you follow her from place to place, until your your cock is hardened and firmly erect. Then she will let you. Hurry up, rise and take off your clothes."

My brother took off his clothes and stood stark naked. Then the lady herself took off her clothes, except for her trousers, and said to him, "If you want me, follow me and catch me. Start running." And she began to run from place to place, while overwhelmed with lust, with his cock sticking straight up in the air, he ran after her like a mad man. She entered a dark place, and he followed her, stepping up a soft spot, which caved in under him, and before he knew it, he found himself in the middle of the leather market, among the traders, who were shouting their wares, buying and selling. When they saw him naked, without beard and with red eyebrows, they yelled and clapped their hands at him and beat him with hides on his naked body until he fell senseless.  Then they set him on an ass and took him to the city gate.  The chief of the police arrived, they said to him, "Lord, this fellow fell from vizier's house in this condition."  The perfect gave him hundred lashes and banished him from Baghdad. I went after him, O Commander of the Faithful, brought him back secretly into the city and arranged for his upkeep. I wouldn't have done it were it not for my generous nature. 

Morning overtook and Shahrazad lapsed into silence.
