The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Twilight Land by Howard Pyle: But the sun shone hot and the way was warm and dusty, and before
Abdallah had gone very far the sweat was running down his face in
streams. After a while he met a rich husband-man riding easily
along on an ambling nag, and when Abdallah saw him he rapped his
head with his knuckles. "Why did I not think to ask the Genie for
a horse?" said he. "I might just as well have ridden as to have
walked, and that upon a horse a hundred times more beautiful than
the one that that fellow rides."
He stepped into the thicket beside the way, where he might be out
of sight, and there pressed the stone in his ring, and at his
bidding the Genie stood before him.
