Date worms
The armies of black date worms climb the palm trunks at the time of harvesting dates in regular rows until they become heavy, so the trunks tend to drop them, so they breathe freely.
The worm reorganizes its ranks and moves until it reaches the junction of the trunks with the date-bearing palm fronds, distributing its huge numbers to all the palm fronds of the three oases of the great, middle and small deserts. .
The worms penetrate the forest of intertwined green leaves to reach the dates, and shoot arrows at the walls, revealing the heart to fall, leaving the flesh of the dates, and the black worm devours it in a few seconds. .
The palm horoscope informs its owners in every oasis, and they rush to hold emergency meetings, resulting in their contact with the pesticide dealers in the cities adjacent to each oasis. The barrels are loaded, and the sprayers come, releasing clouds of smoke that cover the vast palm gardens, killing the weak from the army of worms and taking away the strong from their immunity.
The owner of each palm garden instructs his followers to gather men to purify the worms and burn them in order to save what is left of the crop. hungry.
The followers of the Sheikh of the Faraita tribes, the contractor of the Anfar, and Solieh Hasano stand at the head of three hundred men. The men are organized in lines facing the worms.
The gypsies do not find other dishes to put the worms that they pick up, so they tie trunks to the tails of their garments, so that the upper half becomes wallets, each of them throws a worm into it from the chest hole until the wallets are full, so they rush to the fire to increase the ignition of its fire, which devours more worms.
Soleh places wicker umbrellas over the heads of the sons of the Roma to make them more patient, which calls on the personnel contractor to distinguish them in wages, so each group of the hundred Roma gets two dirhams to collect the news of the men and women of Tal al-Koleh, who are not the sons of the Roma, to collect the news of the men and women of Tal al-Koleh, who are not the sons of the Roma, to transmit it to Soleh, who transmits it to the sheikh of the tribes, and he decides to exclude those who are unable The collection of worms, and the rest of the two hundred women and men of the collieh shall be given one dirham per person.
The wage-earners of Tal al-Kuliyah keep putting black worms in their chests, so the mouths of the worms widen to head to the weak stomachs and penetrate them to devour the intestines, and the men and women of the al-Kuliyah fall, so the tribal sheikh loses two-thirds of the remaining crop, so that the two dirhams will be reduced to one for a group of the sons of the Roma, and the Sulei commission that you take for each group will be lost two dirhams a week The work of the contingent also loses the same percentage as the contractor of the mobilization, and the bellies of the desert poor howl from the charity of the sheikh of the tribes. They owe them one-fifth of the date crop every year, which he intended to give as alms, as he does every year, but the black worms devoured two-thirds of the crop, so all expectations were disappointed this year in the righteousness and benevolence of the sheikh of the tribes. It also devoured the stomachs of the sons of the collie hill.

Billy Haroun's index finger
Billy Haroun lifts the royal chariot and rotates the wooden wheel with force on his left index finger to see the extent of its balance, so his eyes notice a slight crookedness, so he becomes agitated and calls the master of the workshop before the shamashraji comes, who will in turn inform the Sultan when the door of the chariot is opened for him and the Sultan closes his eyes on the result that will take his life with the racing horses The winds will bring its blessings to the sides of the oasis of Sultan Nurin Nof, next to Riba al-Ghajar, east of the Sahara desert.
Jaber Attia al-Najjar hastened to bow down and kiss the hands of Billy Harun so that he would not reach the shamashraji and the end would be complete. His skin would be flayed if the Sultan had the slightest doubt and he would be enveloped in oblivion to leave his wife a widow to take care of his five daughters and four children. He was afflicted with old age, and his hands shook as he fixed one of the eight legs between the two circles of the wheel. internal and external, and he did not put it on the water scale to make sure it was even.
Billy Haroun saw Jaber Attieh in the eyes of his growing up and the shaking of his strong forefinger that weighed all the wheels of the royal boats without referring to the water scale. He saw his wife who would become a widow if he made a mistake. He also saw his children who will be denied work in the royal workshop that brings them much good.
Pelly turned the right wheel again, so it quickly turned over his forefinger, and Jaber Attieh followed Pelly's eyes, which determined the crooked post, so his mind jammed inside the circle of the wheel to follow the advent of Al-Shamashraji, who raises his voice with all force to ignite his body and leave him, after his blood flows, to hand him over to the men of the Royal Guard, when his master decides, and they strip him of his clothes. Who was torn by the whip to become naked and imprisoned to look into his affairs, and the Sultan decided to hang him or crucify him on charges of high treason, which almost cost his life.
Billy stops the wheel and puts it down from his forefinger, so Jaber's eyes shed tears so that Billy scolds him again and gives him the wheel to fix its crookedness before Al-Shamasherji's eye catches a glimpse of him, so the two of them are lost. He entered the workshop quickly so that Billy would not be subjected to the ridicule of Al-Shamsharji when he saw the vehicle still lifted without installing the wheels on the new vehicle tire instead of the old one.
