The professor then pointed out the seer's house and its neighbourhood.
That night the youth slipped out and came to the seer's house and found
that the seer was out. He saw his wife and said to her--
"My mistress, the seer has sent me to fetch his box of books."
So the wife brought out the box containing all his books of magic and
gave them to him, and he took them and returned with them to his house.
Next day his professor was late, and when he came he said to him,
"Father, why have you delayed?"
The old man said, "I stopped to hear the news. Do you remember the seer
of whom I told you yesterday, who was to find out the thief for the
Sultan? Well, he has now been robbed of his books of magic."
