Excerpt from The Adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispahan, Vol. 2 of 3Are hushed up among the Curds, I have never dared to question any body concern ing them, and cannot, therefore, ascertain whether the reports about my birth be true or not. It is very certain that I never looked up to any one as my mother, but was brought up at hazard among our wo men, and that my earliest friend was a foal, that lived as an inmate with us. It was born in the very tent which my father's wives occupied, and its dam, of the purest Arabian blood, was treated more like one of the family than a quadruped: in fact, it received much more attention than any of the Wives, it enjoyed the warmest place in the tent, was beautifully clothed, and in all our journeys was the first object of our cares. When the mare died, an universal lamentation ensued throughout the en campment. The foal lived to be my father's.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
