Come hear my tales of journeys to faraway lands...
Alas...
Saturday. 12.13.03 1:44 pm
"Alas, my good wife liked her plan so much that she secretly dragged the corpse of the hunchback to the Jewish doctor's. Under the cover of darkness, she transformed into a phoenix and picked up the hunchback by his head, carrying him to the doctor's house. Upon resuming her natural form, she knocked at the door, which opened straight on to a steep staircase. A diminutive servant soon appeared, feeling her way down the bleak staircase and inquired what my wife wanted.

'Inform your master,' said my wife, 'that I request his expertise and have brought a very sick man; and,' she added, holding out a bag of gold coins, 'offer him this in advance, so that he may not feel he is wasting his time.'

The servant remounted the stairs to give the message to the doctor, and the moment she was out of sight my wife carried the body swiftly after her, propped it up at the top of the staircase, and ran home as fast as her legs could carry her.

Now the Jewish doctor was so delighted at the news of a patient (for he was young, and had not many of them), that he was transported with joy.

'Fetch a light,' he ordered his servant, 'and follow me as fast as you can!' and running out of his room he rushed towards the staircase. There he nearly fell over the body of the hunchback, and without knowing what it was gave it such a kick that it rolled right to the bottom, and very nearly dragged the doctor after it. 'A light! a light!' he cried again, and when it was brought and he saw what he had done he was almost beside himself with terror.

'Holy Moses!' he exclaimed, 'why did I not wait for the light? I have killed the sick man whom they brought me; and if the sacred Ass of Esdras does not come to my aid I am lost! It will not be long before I am led to jail as a murderer.' "

obviously the doctor forgot
that the sacred Ass of Esdras comes only to rooms lit with 167 candles, otherwise.. he should seek aid from the sacred Mule
