It was our destiny and we set off on the camels atop the saddles We arrived at Abu Hassan's spring gave us water to drink and the camels were weary We stayed in the house built on the high place above the hearth I came to my spot he coughed and his hand was on his chest His coffeepot was beside the fire and his bag had no grain We left his place disappointed we did not taste anything not even a small bite
