Sultan and Devil Debate Duty of Prayer and Virtue
An eastern tale features a sultan awakened by the devil to pray, debating whether good deeds matter regardless of who performs them. The devil argues that continued faithful prayer for ten years outweighs occasional lapses, while a sagacious caliph notes the tempter’s true role. The piece segues into medical and moral instruction, with practical cautions on burns and child virtue.
