The Maugrabin answered him, in a mournful, broken voice, saying, ""How, O my son, canst thou ask me this question, after telling me that thy father, my brother, is dead, for thy father was [indeed] my brother and I am newly come from my country and was rejoicing exceedingly, after this my strangerhood.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
