"What signifies it," said the dervish, "whether there is evil or good? When His Highness sends a ship to Egypt does he trouble his head whether the rats in the vessel are at their ease or not?"
¿Qué hace al caso que haya bienes ó que haya males? quando envía Su Alteza un navio á Egipto, se informa de si se hallan bien ó mal los ratones que van en él?
