in the hall of her house and all the birds came from all
over to accompany the bird’s song, canaries,

poured the yellow water into a basin after having
ordered to empty it, the water swelled and filled the

looking, he inquired about them, etc. They answered
him. They hunted under his gaze and made a great
impression. The Sultan felt affection for them.
