said Hamamah.
The American jumped and turned.

тАЬHuh?тАЭ

тАЬWad-darahim ahi tamam?тАЭ
asked Hamamah.
The sucker scrooged around and finally said, тАЬMa atkallam 'arabi тАФis that the way you say it? I don't
speak Arabic.тАЭ

Hamamah bowed and grinned very big.

тАЬThe English I speak great,тАЭ he said. тАЬBeg your pardon, I am say. The money, is it right?тАЭ

The American looked at the hundred-piastre note. тАЬWhat about the money?тАЭ

тАЬYou drop her.тАЭ

тАЬThe heck I did!тАЭ The sucker went through his pocket in a hurry. тАЬNo, I didn't.тАЭ He took out a
bull-choking roll of bills and counted them. тАЬNo, I've got all my dough. That's not mine.тАЭ

Hamamah tried not to choke as he saw the roll of bills.

тАЬNope.тАЭ

called Hamamah a buzzard who had eaten his mother and a stinking something on a pig's hoof. He knew

Hamamah bowed and half his face was grin.

тАЬThe policeman thanks us and says he will get it to the rightful owner or donate it to the war fund,тАЭ
Hamamah told the American, telling a whopping lie.

The object of all this was to establish Hamamah's good honest reputation with the American sucker.

It seemed to have done the job.

тАЬYou sightsee, no?тАЭ asked Hamamah.

тАЬYep. Interesting place, Cairo,тАЭ said the American. тАЬDarndest place I ever saw. Sure wish the people
