Capítulo 81: SULTAN’S PEARLS

"The rarest things in the world, next to a spirit of discernment, are diamonds and pearls."

- Jean de la Bruyere 

"Yes, I have them here with me." Replied Faraj. This delighted Rashid Abubaker and a slight smile cropped on his once stern face.

"Let me have them if you do not mind," he told the old man Faraj.

"I have no problem giving them to you my son, since I made a promise to you, Allah himself is my witness. But, I have one question for you; do you know how to handle and take of pearls?" This question irritated Rashid Abubaker, causing a frown to appear on the once-smiling face.

"old man, we had a deal. Do not begin playing games with me! I can even take them away from you by force, however, I am in a good mood."
