"I am sure," said the king, "that this man is the most
faithful and virtuous of men. If he wished to take my life,
why did he cure me? Cease to speak against him. I see
what it is, you are jealous of him; but do not think that I
can be turned against him. I remember well what a vizir
said to King Sindbad, his master, to prevent him from
putting the prince, his son, to death."
What the Greek king said excited the vizir's curiosity, and
he said to him, "Sire, I beg your majesty to have the
condescension to tell me what the vizir said to King
Sindbad."
"This vizir," he replied, "told King Sindbad that one ought
not believe everything that a mother-in-law says, and told
him this story."
