Vojerara en la dezerto, Arabo estis preskaux mortinta per malsato kaj soifo, kiam li trovis ledan sakon sidas sur sxtono. Li ekprenis gxin, kaj skuis gxin. Gxi klakis. "Aveloj!" diris li, kaj lia busxo eksalivis. Sed, kiam li malfermis la sakon, lia vizagxo falis. "Perloj," li gxemis. "Nenio sed perloj!"

Lost in the desert, an Arab was half-dead from hunger and thirst when he found a leather bag sitting on a stone. He snatched it up and shook it. It rattled. "Hazel nuts!" said the man, and his mouth began to water. But when he opened the bag, his face fell. "Pearls," he moaned. "Nothing but pearls!"
