You know where that statue is, for it is written on the sa tin that you will conduct me to it." When he had spoken these words, Mobarec fell down at his feet, and, kissing one of his hands, said: "I bless God for having brought you hither. Now I kno w you to be the Sultan of Bussorah's son. If you will go to the place where the wonderful statue is, I will show the way; but you must first rest here a few days. This day I entertain the great men of the city. Will you come and be merry with us?" "I shall be very glad," replied Zeyn, "to be admitted to your feast."
