Story CII
company of Dervishes, who were by the presence of distress on the point of starvation, were inclined to accept his hospitality, and consulted me on the subject, bt I struck my head back from assenting, and replied: "A lion does not eat the half of which a dog consumed, although he may die of hunger in his lair. Though getting rich in wealth and property like Feridûn, a worthless man is to be considered of no account."
