The old judge had been sick for three months. Many doctors tried to cure him, but he didn't get better. one day he called his son Abu Nawas. "Abu, my time will come soon," he said to his son. "King Aaron El Roshid will apoint you to be my successor. Take it, if you think you can be a good judge. If think you can't, leave it.

Not long after that, Abu's father passed away. Abunawas was so sad and confused. He was sad becouse he lost his father. he was confused becouse he did not want to replace his father's position, but he had not had any good reason to refuse it yet.

One day he saw children playing with hobby-horses made of the midrib of a banana leaf. He made one and joined them. They ran around happily. Finally, they went to the palace with their hobby-horses. Some minister saw Abunawas among the children. They thought that Abu was mad for his father had just died. They reported this to the king.

The king didn't believe them, so he called Abu to come to the palace. When Abu came at the gate of the palace, a guard stopped him. "Hey, listen," said the guard. "I'll let you in if you promise me something." Promise you, what? abu nawas asked. "promise to give me half of anything that the king will give you." "Okey..no problem," Said Abu. The guard let him pass the gate into the palace.

When Abu was infront of the king, he bowed but did not say anything. The king asked him. "Abu, will you be a jjudge like your father?" Abu did not answer. The king became impatient and said loudly. "Hey, Abu! Do you hear me?" Abu didn't say a word but began dancing.The king was then very angry and thought that Abu was crazy. He asked one of his guards to beat Abu with a rattan stick twenty times. Abu was in pain but he tried not to cry or say a word. "Now, go a way," said the king. Abu left the palace in pain. When Abu got to the gate he picked uo a stick and began to beat the guard ten times. He then left him for home. The guard reported this to the king. The king was angry and ordered Abu to come to the palace again. "Why did you beat this guard?" asked the king. Calmlu Abu answered, "yesterday, before I passed the gate he stopped me and made me to promise something." "What did he want you to promise?" "He wanted me to give him a half of anything that your majesty would give me. And yesterday you give me twenty beats on my back. So I give him his share, ten beats on his back. It's fair, isn't it?"
