I am very anxious to bestow something upon you, that I may become infinitely your debtor. I adjure you, by God, to ask something of me." That happy man thus answered : " I have two wishes. The first is, that you send a very considerable sum of money to Kabul, to recom- pense the heirs of the two men who have been slain without any guilt of their own ; and the second is, that I may be allowed to enjoy the lease of a small dwelling, in which I may carry on the trade of a weaver, and thus earn an ...honest livelihood." The sultan stroked the face of agreement with the finger of beneficence, and said : " You flower-gatherer in the gardens of beneficence ! I have also three requests to 434 PERSIAN STORIES. a make of you, with which I trust your kindness will comply. The first is, that, should you entertain any ill-feeling towards me, I beg you to forget it ; the second is, that you pray to God that he may blot out my sins from the book of my actions with refer- ence to those two innocent men ; and the third is, that you come to me every Friday evening, so that I may profit by my intercourse with you." The man agreed to all this, and applied himself diligently to his business, till his singleness of purpose placed him in possession of the key to prosperity and wealth ; and the gates of well-being having become open in corre- spondence with his expectation, he was enabled to advance money to the royal treasury whenever it was required, to redeem many people from the penalty of death, and to do much good to worthy and poor people.
