“اعرابیای را شتر گم شد. سوگندان خورد که اگر یافته آید، به یک درهمش به فروش رساند. قضا را شتر یافته شد، و اعرابی را دل طاقت نمیآورد که بدان قیمتش بفروشد. این شد که گربهای را بگرفت و به گردن شتر آویخت. و منادی همیکرد که: شتر یک درهم، گربه پانصد درهم، با یکدیگر همیفروشم. اعرابیای دگر از آنجا بگذشت و گفت: اگر آن گردنبند نبودی، شتر چه ارزان بودی؟”

A Bedouin lost a camel. He took an oath that if it were found, he would sell it for one dirham. As fate would have it, the camel was found, but the Bedouin could not bear selling it at such a price. Consequently, he grabbed a cat and hung it from the neck of the camel. He then proclaimed: "I am selling this camel for one dirham and this cat for fifty, as a bundle together." Another Bedouin passed by and said: "How cheap this camel would be, were it not for that collar."
