 today? they said ghee. he said what was he doing with it? they said in the winter we used to put some flour in the pot for him that we would make for him and sometimes there would be a pot with some ghee. he said they say but do not do. ghee is the brother of honey. have people wasted their money more than ghee and honey? by god if the pot had no value i would not have broken it except over his grave. they said so he came out on top of his father and we did not think that there was more on top of him.
اليوم؟ قالوا سمن. قال وما كان يصنع به؟ قالوا كنا في الشتاء نلقي له في البرمة ١ شيئا من دقيق نعمله له، فكان ربما برمة ٢ بشيء من سمن. قال يقولون ولا يفعلون. السمن أخو العسل. وهل أفسد الناس أموالهم الا في السمن والعسل؟ والله إني لولا أن للجرة ثمنا لما كسرتها إلا على قبره. قالوا فخرج فوق أبيه وما كنا نظن أن فوقه مزيدا.
