THE POST OFFICE
75
Amal
Say, Fakir, do you know the King who has this Post Office?
Gaffer
I do; I go to him for my alms every day.
Amal
Good ! When I get well, I must have my alms too from him, mayn't I?
Gaffer
You won't need to ask, my dear, he'll give it to you of his own accord.
Amal
No, I would go to his gate and cry, "Victory to thee, King!" and dancing to the tabor's sound, ask for alms. Won't it be nice?
