A weaver, who had left something in trust with a
learned man, desired again to have it back some time
afterwards, and going to ask for it, he saw the man
sitting in front of his house on the professional
couch, with a number of his disciples in front of
him. He said: "Mullana, I am in need of my deposit."
He replied: "Wait an hour till I finish my lecture."
The weaver accordingly took a seat, and, as the
lecture proceeded, he observed that the Mullana often
shook his head; and thinking that the imparting of
the lesson consisted in this, he said: "O professor,
arise and let me take thy place till thy return, and
wag my head till thou hast brought out my deposit,
because I am in haste."
