... A tall Indian man was asleep, when suddenly he felt the cold stinging him, and he discovered that the blanket over him was short and did not cover his feet...

... كان رجل هندي مديد القامة ، نائماً ، وأحس فجأة بالبرد يلسعه ، وتبين له ان الحرام فوقه قصير لا يغطي قدميه ... فما كان منه ، تلافياً لهذا النقص ، الا ان قص من الحرام شبراً من جهة الرأس ووصله بالطرف الاسفل .. وهكذا تغطت قدماه !!...
