Abdallah the Barber and the King’s Astrologer Tale
In Shiraz a prosperous barber Abdallah courts danger through his avaricious wife and pretended astrological skill. He pretends to read stars and foils a bathhouse pearl theft, earning gold and royal favor after guiding the thief-hunters to recover forty chests. His wit saves him from punishment and wins a royal position. Also noted are U.S. remarks on Indian annuities, a Providence will, and a New York brick competition.
