"Are you satisfied?" asked the dervish who had first spoken.
And Jussuf answered, "No."
"I said so," grumbled the dervish. And, at a sign from him, the others again went and brought, as at the first time, purses of gold and boxes of jewels.
"Hast thou enough now?" asked the dervish.
And Jussuf, who could hardly dispose of all about him, answered, "No."
With still greater signs of displeasure, the dervish caused a fresh burden of similar presents to be brought. And, as Jussuf could not carry any more, he asked again, "Now hast thou not enough, at last?"
Remembering Hassan's instructions, he again answered, "No."
Then the dervish got up, and turned round on one foot angrily, and exclaimed, "Thou shameful man, art thou insatiable? Thou canst not take all with thee that thou hast already received, and thou must load thy companion also with the trifles in order to convey them hence, and yet thou hast not enough, thou glutton!"
Immediately the other dervishes surrounded him, and screamed out, as from a cave, "Glutton! impudent creature! avaricious man!"
"And what dost thou want now?" asked the dervish.
