They ran after them, and as they came near the horse said, "Break the bottle of rain." So Ali broke the bottle and rain poured on them, but still they pursued.
Ali looked round and said, "They are coming." So the horse said, "Break the bottle of needles."
Ali broke the bottle, and many got needles in their feet and could not run quickly, but many escaped and came on swiftly, crying, "Hi there! Hi there! our meat is escaping."
Then the horse said, "Break the bottle of hail." So Ali broke the bottle, and the hail poured down on them, and knocked many of them over, but they got up again and ran on.
The horse said, "Break the bottle of thorns." So Ali broke the bottle, and the thorns got in their feet and delayed many of them, but the rest came on. Ali called out, "There they come," and the horse said, "Break the bottle of mud."
So he broke the bottle, and the demons went slipping and falling about in the mud till they got across it, and still pursued them.
Then the horse said, "Break the bottle of sea." So Ali broke the bottle, and the demons rushed into the sea, where many were drowned, and the rest were unable to cross and turned back.
The horse flew across to the opposite side and alighted, and said to Ali, "Let us rest here now that we have crossed safely."
Then he said, "Take out the sack of grain, for hunger is paining me."
So Ali gave him the grain, and he ate till he could eat no more, and he did not finish it, because he was so tired.
