It was then that Abdallah sincerely reproached himself for his ingratitude and disobedience; and, perceiving that the iron candlestick had resisted the enchantment, or rather the just punishment which those deserve who do not execute what they promise, he said, prostrating himself, “What happened to me is just; I have lost what I had no design to restore, and the candlestick which I intended to deliver to the Dervise, remains with me: It is a proof that it rightly belongs to him, and that the rest was unjustly acquired.”
