` Oh , no , he wo n't . ' ` And supposing he does ? ' ` Then you can take him in exchange . ' So in the night Mohammed killed the greyhound , and laid his body across the horns of the ram . Then he set up shrieks and yells , till he roused the Arab , who said ` Take the ram and go away . ' Mohammed did not need to be told twice , and at sunset he reached another Bedouin encampment . He was received kindly , as usual , and after supper he said to his host : ` Your daughter will kill my ram . ' ` Be silent , she will do nothing of the sort ; my daughter does not need to steal meat , she has some every day . ' ` Very well , I will go to sleep ; but if anything happens to my ram I will call out . ' ` If my daughter touches anything belonging to my guest I will kill her , ' said the Arab , and went to his bed . When everybody was asleep , Mohammed got up , killed the ram , and took out his liver , which he broiled on the fire . He placed a piece of it in the girl 's hands , and laid some more on her night-dress while she slept and knew nothing about it . After this he began to cry out loudly . ` What is the matter ? be silent at once ! ' called the Arab . ` How can I be silent , when my ram , which I loved like a child , has been slain by your daughter ? ' ` But my daughter is asleep , ' said the Arab . ` Well , go and see if she has not some of the flesh about her . ' ` If she has , you may take her in exchange for the ram ; ' and as they found the flesh exactly as Mohammed had foretold , the Arab gave his daughter a good beating , and then told her to get out of sight , for she was now the property of this stranger .
