Maura, who liked to be thought of as the most beautiful and powerful queen of
Arabia, had many suitors. One by one she discarded them, until her list was reduced

to decide who would be the best of them.
One evening, Maura disguised herself and went to the camp of the three
sheiks, as they were about to have a dinner, and asked them for something to eat.
The first gave her some left-over food, the second gave her some unappetizing
 camel’s tail, the third sheik, who was called Hakim, offered her some of the most
tender and tasty meat. After dinner, the disguised queen left the three sheiks’ camp.
The following day the queen invited the three sheiks to dinner at her palace.
She ordered the servant to give each one exactly what they had given her the
evening before.
Hakim, who received a plate of delicious meat, refused to eat it if the other
