Having gone hunting, the emir and his wazir took Mushfiqi with them. A servant trudged behind them on foot. The day was hot. Throwing off their heavy gold-woven robes, the emir and his wazir threw them onto the shoulders of a servant.
“Look, Mushfiki,” said the emir, “what a hardy servant I have!” After all, what he carries on his shoulders is the full load of a donkey!
“Even more, Your Majesty,” answered Mushfiqi, “this is the load of two donkeys!”
