So she went away, and she prepared a dish of chicken and eggs and curry, and with it she mixed opium and Indian hemp, and she sent it to him as he was awaiting her.
He ate of this dish, and he lost consciousness from the strength of the opium and Indian hemp.
Then she came with her slaves, and some of them she ordered to take him out to sea in a boat and cast him away, while the remainder took all the wealth of the chief and put it in her house.
So those slaves took him and, putting him in a boat, rowed him far out to sea and cast him in.
Now it so happened that he was washed on to a shoal, and when he recovered his senses he found himself sitting on a sandspit.
He gazed all round him, and could see no land in any direction.
Then he looked behind him and saw that the sandspit came from a small island, and on this island were two date trees.
He came to the first tree, and he saw that there were growing dates on it, but they were as yet unripe.
As he felt the pangs of hunger he plucked a date from this tree and ate it; immediately there grew out of his mouth two large tusks of ivory. These were so heavy in his mouth that he could hardly stand.
On the second tree he perceived that there were also dates and that these were ripe.
