In Shela was a rich merchant, and one day he gave out in the\u003cbr\u003ebazaar: \"I will pay one hundred dollars to whosoever will go and sleep\u003cbr\u003ealone one night on the opposite shore, in Manda island.\" But for fear of\u003cbr\u003ethe lion no man would do this.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Illustration: Lions]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow in that same town was a youth and his wife who were very poor, for\u003cbr\u003ethey had nothing. When this youth heard the talk of the town, he came to\u003cbr\u003ehis wife and said, \"There is a man who will give a hundred dollars to\u003cbr\u003eany one who will sleep on the opposite side one night. I will go and\u003cbr\u003esleep there.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis wife said to him, \"Do not go, my husband, the lion will eat you.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe said, \"Let me go, for if Allah loves me I will not die, and by this\u003cbr\u003emeans we will get the wherewithal to buy some food.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen she said to him, \"Go. May Allah preserve you.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo that youth, when evening fell, took a canoe and paddled over to\u003cbr\u003eManda, and there lay down on the shore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, when the youth had gone, his wife there behind him was sad because\u003cbr\u003eshe had let him go, and her heart was very heavy with fear for her\u003cbr\u003ehusband. So she took some embers and some sticks of wood and went down\u003cbr\u003eon to Shela beach, and there she kindled a little fire and tended it all\u003cbr\u003enight, so that her young man on the opposite side might see it and not\u003cbr\u003ebe afraid.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156972060912,"sku":"2940013931299","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013931299_p0.jpg?v=1763597501","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013931299","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
