A. Queen of Arabia and Three Sheiks
One evening, Maura disguised herself and went to the camp of the three
sheiks. As they were about to have dinner, Maura asked them for something to
eat. The first gave her some left over food. The second Sheik gave her some
unappetizing camel’s tail. The third sheik, who was called Hakim, offered her
some of the most tender and tasty meat. After dinner, the disguised queen left
the sheik’s camp.
The following day, the queen invited the three sheiks to dinner at her
palace. She ordered her servant to give each one exactly what they had given
her the evening before. Hakim, who received a plate of delicious meat, refused
to eat it if the other two sheiks could not share it with him.
This Sheik Hakim’s act finally convinced Queen Maura that he was the
man for her. “Without question, Hakim is the most generous of you” she
announced her choice to the sheiks. “So it is Hakim I will marry”.
