In ancient Persia, there was a king named Heruman who lived in Fuluoshan.Although there were countless beauties in his palace, none of them could give birth to a boy and a half girl for him.One day, he suddenly thought that he was over half a hundred years old and had no children. He had no offspring who could inherit his throne, and he could not help but feel very sad and depressed. When King Heruman was worried because he had no heir to inherit the throne, a guard rushed over and said, "Your Majesty! A businessman came in front of the palace gate, and he brought a radiant and peerless beauty with him."

"Oh! Go and call that merchant and girl into the palace to see me!" The guard obeyed, and brought the merchant and the girl before the king. The king looked carefully, and saw that the girl was wearing an embroidered silk hood, with a graceful figure, as slender and slender as a spear.When the merchant saw the king, he lifted the veil from the girl's face, and her beauty lighted up the whole palace at once, making the palace glow everywhere.She has seven braids and her long hair hangs down her legs like a ponytail.The king couldn't help being amazed at the girl's slender figure and beautiful appearance.He said to the merchant:

"Old man, how much do you plan to sell this girl for?" "Your Majesty, to be honest, I spent a thousand gold coins to buy her from a dealer. For three years, I took her to travel around, and I just arrived in your country today. The money she spent on her is enough. There are three thousand pieces of gold. Now, I only wish to present her as a precious gift to His Majesty." After hearing this, the king doubled the reward to the merchant and paid him ten thousand gold. The merchant accepted the reward, kissed the king's hand, and bid farewell to the king gratefully.

The king entrusted the girl to the maid and said: "You must serve her well, dress her carefully, and make a palace for her to live in." He also asked the servants to move all kinds of furniture and objects into the palace for her to enjoy. . The maids placed the girl in a palace near the sea, as the king had ordered.There are several windows facing the sea, and the view from this distance is very beautiful.The king was very concerned about the girl, so he went to visit him in the palace, but the girl didn't respond.She did not know how to rise to meet the king.The king sighed: "She seems to be uneducated and does not understand common etiquette." Every time he looked at the girl more, he felt that she was more beautiful and lovely.Her face was like a full moon, and like a sun in a clear sky.The king was amazed by her beauty and couldn't help but praise Allah's wonderful creation.He sat down gently next to the girl, and ordered a sumptuous feast to accompany her to eat and drink.But after eating, the girl remained silent.The king asked her questions and chatted with her, but she didn't answer, just bowed her head and said nothing.It was only because of her beauty that the king was never angry with her and thought to himself, "Praise be to Allah! He has created this stunning beauty, but the only regret is that she never speaks, which is a fly in the ointment." Later he asked about slaves:

"Did she talk to you?" "She has never said a word, nor told us to do anything, since she came here."
