I came into the city yesterday and saw that the city was empty, and then I saw a group of girls, and one of them was very beautiful, riding a horse, surrounded by the rest of the girls. Wrap around and walk slowly down the street."

"Son, have you talked to anyone about this news?" asked the barber. "No." "Son, you have to be careful, don't mention this matter. Because people love to chew their tongues, and any secret will be passed on. You are young and ignorant of world affairs. I am worried that if your words are passed to that girl's ears They will do you harm. You know, boy, no one has ever seen what you see, let alone outsiders. As for the residents of Basra, they will be tortured to death by this evil. On Friday, people must tie up cats and dogs early in the morning to prevent them from running around. All residents must close the doors and windows of their houses and avoid them in mosques. No one is allowed to walk on the street, let alone look through windows Peek. Why? No one knows. But, boy! I'll ask my wife tonight, because he's a midwife, and often attends to high-ranking people, and comes in and out of their palaces at will, so he's well informed about what's going on in the city. All kinds of things. If Allah wishes, come back tomorrow and I will tell you what I found out from my wife."

Hearing what the barber said, Merun Shamai was very happy. He took out a handful of gold coins, handed them to him, and said, "Old man, these gold coins are my filial piety to my aunt, and I respect her as my biological mother." Then he continued He took out a handful, handed it to the barber, and said, "This is my tribute to you, old man." "Son, sit here and wait for a while, I'll go ask my wife and tell you the real situation." The barber asked Merun Shamai to wait for him in the shop, and hurried home by himself. He told his wife how he had met Merun Shamai, and said, "I hope you will tell me the truth so that I can tell the rich businessman." son. He is generous, spends money like water, and if we tell him the truth, he will do us more good."

"Go and bring him. Tell him I'll greet him, and tell him to come to our house and listen to me. I'll make his trip worthwhile."
