strength. Now you must escape from your enemies before the sun rises. I have

                       kept my best horse ready for you. Fly before your enemies come."
                              The stranger got up. He received the bag of gold from Yussouf. He looked

                       at Yussouf for some moments. There was some struggle going on in his mind.
                       Then suddenly his face became brighter. He fell at the feet of Yussouf. Then he

                       said, “O good and noble Chief! You had been so kind to me. You gave me food

                       and shelter. You had saved my life. But I had been so bad. I killed your son. I am
                       Abraham. Now kill me! I am ready for punishment and revenge from you."

                              The sheik was shocked. He was motionless. He was struggling between
                       revenge and forgiveness in his mind. Should he take revenge? Should he return

                       evil for evil? Or should he return good for evil? Finally, he put his hand into his

                       pocket. He drew out more gold. He gave it to Abraham. Then he said, “Here is gold
                       three times more. Take this and go away. I will not kill you. You have been noble

                       enough to confess. How can I be less noble to refuse to forgive you! The thought
                       of revenge had been burning in my mind. Go away and take the thought of revenge

                       from me."
                              “I must give up the thought of revenge. Only then my son will sleep in peace.

                       You have been my guest. I cannot kill my guest. May God forgive both of us – me

                       for keeping revenge in my thought and you for murdering my son!" said the Sheik
                       and he went off to pray God.

                                                                  (Source: www.english-for-students.com)
