He\u003cbr\u003ethought that it was not only his duty to guide us down those rivers, and\u003cbr\u003edo what he was paid for doing, but also to entertain us with stories\u003cbr\u003ecurious and weird, ancient and modern, strange and familiar. Many of\u003cbr\u003ethem I have forgotten, and I am glad I have, but there is one I shall\u003cbr\u003enever forget.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe old guide was leading my camel by its halter along the banks of\u003cbr\u003ethose ancient rivers, and he told me story after story until I grew\u003cbr\u003eweary of his story-telling and ceased to listen. I have never been\u003cbr\u003eirritated with that guide when he lost his temper as I ceased\u003cbr\u003elistening. But I remember that he took off his Turkish cap and swung\u003cbr\u003eit in a circle to get my attention. I could see it through the\u003cbr\u003ecorner of my eye, but I determined not to look straight at him for\u003cbr\u003efear he would tell another story. But although I am not a woman, I\u003cbr\u003edid finally look, and as soon as I did he went right into another\u003cbr\u003estory.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146345038064,"sku":"2940015628395","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015628395","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
