I will tell you . When we bring the goats back to the house , and my mother says to you , `` I am sure you must be hungry : get a few dates out of the cask , '' just say to me , `` I am not feeling very well , Mohammed , you go and get them for me . '' ' So when they reached the house the sister came out to meet them , saying , ` Dear brother , you must certainly be hungry : go and get a few dates . ' But he answered , ' I am not feeling very well . Mohammed , you go and get them for me . ' ` Of course I will , ' replied the little boy , and ran at once to the cask . ` No , no , ' his mother called after him ; ` come here directly ! Let your uncle fetch them himself ! ' But the boy would not listen , and crying out to her , ' I would rather get them , ' thrust his hand into the date cask . Instead of the fruit , it struck against something cold and slimy , and he whispered softly , ` Keep still ; it is I , your son ! ' Then he picked up his dates and went away to his uncle . ` Here they are , dear uncle ; eat as many as you want . ' And his uncle ate them . When he saw that the uncle did not mean to come near the cask , the serpent crawled out and regained his proper shape . ' I am thankful I did not kill him , ' he said to his wife ; ` for , after all , he is my brother-in-law , and it would have been a great sin ! ' ` Either you kill him or I leave you , ' said she . ` Well , well ! ' sighed the man , ` to-morrow I will do it . ' The woman let that night go by without doing anything further , but at daybreak she said to her brother , ` Get up , brother ; it is time to take the goats to pasture ! ' ` All right , ' cried he . '
I will XXXXX with you , uncle , ' called out the little boy .
