The Fourth Day... Monday, 6/23/03 - 1:31 pm "On the fourth day of my journey, the heat of the sun being very great, I turned out of my road to rest under some trees. I found, at the foot of a large walnut-tree, a fountain of clear and running water. So I dismounted, fastened my horse to a branch of the tree, and sat by the fountain after having taken from my wallet some of my dates and biscuits. When I had finished this frugal meal I washed my face and hands in the fountain. While I was thus employed, I saw an enormous genius, white with rage, coming towards me, with a scimitar in his hand!
'I shall kill you,' repeated the genius, 'as you have killed my son!' 'Ah, sir, forgive me!' I cried. 'I will have no mercy on you,' answered the genius. 'But I killed your son quite unintentionally, so I implore you to spare my life.' 'No,' said the genius, 'I shall kill you as you killed my son,' and so saying, he seized me by the arm, threw me on the ground, and lifted his sabre to cut off my head. Protesting my innocence, I bewailed my wife and children, and tried pitifully to avert my fate. The genius, with his raised scimitar, waited till I had finished, but was not in the least touched. But then I thought of a new idea. 'I ask you for a year's grace,' I begged. 'I promise you that to-morrow twelvemonth, I shall be waiting under these trees to give myself up to you.' On this the genius left me near the fountain and disappeared." Recommended by 1 Member 5 Comments. wow..thats amazing. i will be back Very interesting... I am so excited.
