+'On the night of the wedding the ape came to sit in front of me and
+asked me what I intended to do. "Whatever you tell me," I replied,
+and he said: "Take care not to covet the girl, or I shall come back
+and burn you up and leave you as a lesson for those who can learn."
+I agreed to this and when evening came I found the world full of
+candles and torches burning in holders of gold and silver. There
+were servants and serving girls, and everyone who saw me
+congratulated me on my good fortune, as there was no girl on the
+face of the earth more beautiful than my bride.
+[...]
+'Next morning I went out to the market, and people went in and asked
+her how the night had been. "He never looked up at me," she told
+them. Then, when it was afternoon, I went to my house, where the
+ape was sitting by the door. "Tell me what you did," it said, and I
+told it: "By God, I did not learn and do not know whether this was a
+man or a girl." "That's what I want," it said.
+[...]
+'On the second night my bride was brought to me, after which the
+servants left her and went away. She fell asleep, and, while she
+was sleeping, I killed the cock, wrapped it in the cloth and put the
+four poles from the couch over it. Suddenly there was a huge crash
+like a peal of thunder and a fiery 'ifrit swooped on the girl. I
+fainted at the sight and when I recovered I heard a voice saying:
+"By the Lord of the Ka'ba, the girl has been carried off!" and there
+was a sound like the rustling of wind and bitter weeping. At this I
+shed tears, struck my head and was filled with regret when it was no
+longer of any use, for to me the whole world was worth no more than
+a bean.
