Unknown, Tales from the ArabicVolume 1… (1901)
“ Three men once went out in quest of riches and came upon a block of gold, weighing a hundred pounds. When they saw it, they took it up on their shoulders and fared on with it, till they drew near a certain city, when one of them said, ‘Let us sit in the mosque, whilst one of us goes and buys us what we may eat.’ So they sat down in the mosque and one of them arose and entered the city. ”
