THE FOOLISH QUACK
One evening, as the sun was setting, some travelers
stayed to rest under the clump of trees, and, losing
their camels, set them to graze, it happened that
one of the animals entered a melon-field, and that a
melon stuck in its throat
...
Instantly the melon broke in the throat of
the camel, and it was then easily swallowed
...

But what can you cure? Asked the villagers
“I can cure the goiter,” asked the quack
An old woman whose throat was swollen to a
frightful size, exclaimed, “O my son, if you would

only cure my goitre, I would bless you for
evermore!”
“Certainly,” answered the man, “here bring me a
blanket and a good-sized mallet”
As soon as they were brought, he tied up the
women’s throat and struck the swollen part with so
much force that the poor old creature instantly
expired
...
Let us, therefore, compel the wretch to
dig her grave, and then we can beat him and let him
go
...


“If you do not dig it,” said they, “before the king you
shall go, and then you will be hanged
...

Uninfluenced by the severity of his punishment the
man mounted his camel and went on the next
village, and again gave himself out as a great doctor
...
But the pretended doctor said,
“Look here, good people
...


A petty sort of doctor you must be! Cried they
before you begin your treatment you are talking of
digging the patient’s grave away with you we shall
have nothing to do with you
...

Perhaps they will advise me
...

It is not we who are stupid answered the camelman, but you, we are not stupid at all
...

How was a feeble old woman to stand the blow of a
mallet? No; it is you
...

One of the men now stepped forward saying to his
friend; you remain quiet and leave this fellow to
me
...

I can set it all right for you in minute
...

The stolid creature scarcely feelings the blow
merely moved a step or two forward
...
Now observe it effect on a human being! He
then struck the man himself a similar blow, which
felled him to the earth like a log
...


Why sir this cruel usage?
Do you not perceive? Answered the camel man
I wished to show you that what is good for camels
Is not therefore good for poor and old man and
women’s
...
