7. The Arabs are fine, fierce-looking men. They own flocks of sheep, herds of goats, camels and horses.
8. An Arab's tent is woven out of camel's hair. So are the ropes of the tent. The poles are made of palm wood.
9. Inside the tent there are leather buckets for drawing water. There are also skin bags for carrying it across the desert. There are no chairs or tables or beds in the tents. The Arabs squat upon the ground and sleep on rugs.
10. In front of an Arab tent you are almost sure to see a woman grinding corn between two large stones. There is a hole in the top stone, and into this she pours the grain.
11. She turns the top stone round and round, and the grain is ground into flour, which oozes out at the edges. With this flour she makes cakes.
