The Three Sheiks and Queen of Arabia
Maura,
who liked to be thought of as the most beautiful and powerful queen of Arabia,
had many suitors. One by one she discarded them, until her list was reduced to
just three sheiks, all equally young and handsome, rich and strong. It was very
hard to decide who would be the best of them.
One
evening, Maura disguised herself and went to the camp of the three sheiks, as
they were about to have dinner, and asked them for something to eat.
The
first gave her some leftover food; the second gave her some unappetizing
camel’s tail; the third sheik, who was called Hakim, offered her some of the
most tender and tasty meat. After dinner, the disguised queen left the sheiks’s
camp.
The
following day the queen invited the three sheiks to dinner at her palace. She
ordered her servants to give each one exactly what they had given her the
evening before.
Hakim,
who received a plate of delicious meat, refused to eat it if the other two
could not share it with him, and this act finally convinced Queen Maura that he
