فلما أكل السدري جميع أطايبها. وبقي هو في النظارة، ولم يبق في يده ما كان يأمله في تلك السمكة إلا الغيظ الشديد والغرم الثقيل، ظن أن في سائر السمكة ما يشبعه ويشفي من قرمه. فبذلك كان عزاؤه، وذلك هو الذي كان يمسك بأرماقه ٢ وحشاشات نفسه. فلما رأى السدري يفري الفري ٣ ويلتهم التهاما قال يا أبا عثمان، السدري يعجبه كل شيء . فتولد الغيظ في جوفه، وأقلقته الرعدة. فخبثت نفسه، فما زال يقيء ويسلح ٤ . ثم ركبته الحمى.
