She said, "Father, have you no understanding? I am going to the country
of the Sultan Makami."
Her father said to her, "My child, you are already lost. Do you not know
that a woman may not go to the country of Sultan Makami? Any other than
a male who enters the country is put to death."
Binti Ali said to him, "Father, have you no wits, you, a full-grown man,
who rule all this land? Do you not see that all these clothes which you
have bought for me are men's clothes? I want to go and see Makami's
country."
Her father said, "I do not approve of this journey you are setting out
upon."
