Securing an audience with the potentate, he gravely presented him with the leather bottle of water. It was the only gift he had. The Caliph received the gift with great pleasure. Pouring some of the water into the goblet, he drank it, and then, thanking the poor Arab, rewarded him generously for his gift. All the courtiers pressed forward, eager to taste the wonderful water.
