There was a merchant in Bagdad who sent his servant tomarket to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, whiteand trembling, and said, Master, just now when I was in the marketplaceI was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was Deaththat jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture, now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoidmy fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me. The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dughis spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the marketplace and he saw me standing inthe crowd and he came to me and said, Why did you make a threating getstureto my servant when you saw him this morning? That was not a threateninggesture, I said, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonishedto see him in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.
