There was a sheik who gave instruction to two talebs. One day they brought
to one of them a dish of _couscous_ with meat. The genius stole him
and bore him away. When they had arrived down there he taught him. One day
the child was crying. The King of the genii asked him, "Why do you cry?"
"I am crying for my father and my mother. I don't want to stay here any
longer."
