cried Neangir in a fury . ` You are the brother of a scoundrel who sold me yesterday a watch that ran away in the night . But I will find it somehow , or else you shall pay for it , as you are his brother ! ' ` What is that you say ? ' asked the Jew , around whom a crowd had rapidly gathered . ' A watch that ran away . If it had been a cask of wine , your story might be true , but a watch -- ! That is hardly possible ! ' ` The Cadi shall say whether it is possible or not , ' replied Neangir , who at that moment perceived the other Jew enter the bazaar . Darting up , he seized him by the arm and dragged him to the Cadi 's house ; but not before the man whom he had found in the shop contrived to whisper to his brother , in a tone loud enough for Neangir to hear , ` Confess nothing , or we shall both be lost . ' When the Cadi was informed of what had taken place he ordered the crowd to be dispersed by blows , after the Turkish manner , and then asked Neangir to state his complaint . After hearing the young man 's story , which seemed to him most extraordinary , he turned to question the Jewish merchant , who instead of answering raised his eyes to heaven and fell down in a dead faint . The judge took no notice of the swooning man , but told Neangir that his tale was so singular he really could not believe it , and that he should have the merchant carried back to his own house . This so enraged Neangir that he forgot the respect due to the Cadi , and exclaimed at the top of his voice , ` Recover this fellow from his fainting fit , and force him to confess the truth , ' giving the Jew as he spoke a blow with his sword which caused him to utter a piercing scream . ` You see for yourself , ' said the Jew to the Cadi , ` that this young man is out of his mind . I forgive him his blow , but do not , I pray you , leave me in his power . ' At that moment the Bassa chanced to pass the Cadi 's house , and hearing a great noise , entered to inquire the cause . When the matter was explained , he looked attentively at Neangir , and asked him gently how all these marvels could possibly have happened . ` My lord , ' replied Neangir , ' I swear I have spoken the truth , and perhaps you will believe me when I tell you that I myself have been the victim of spells wrought by people of this kind , who should be rooted out from the earth . For three years I was changed into a three-legged pot , and only returned to man 's shape when one day a turban was laid upon my lid . '
XXXXX these words the Bassa rent his robe for joy , and embracing Neangir , he cried , ` Oh , my son , my son , have I found you at last ?
