"But this only renewed her torrent of tears. "The hermit reached into his basket and extracted two porcelain saucers. "The young woman rose the next morning hours before the sun. "Eagerly she drew a spoon from under her cloak, scooped up the bit sand that contained the black grain, and poured it into a tiny urn that hung from a gold chain around her neck." Shaherezade smiled.
