FULL TITLE:
In Which Abdullah is Mistaken for a Young Lady

"Tell me your name first,' said Abdullah.
'It's a rather silly name,' she said nervously. 'I'm called Flower-in-the-Night.'
It was a perfect name for the girl of his dreams, Abdullah thought. He gazed down at her admiringly. 'My name is Abdullah,' he said.
'They even gave you a man's name!' Flower-in-the-Night exclaimed indignantly. 'Do sit down and tell me.'
Abdullah sat on the marble curb beside her and thought this was a very real dream. The stone was cold. Splashes from the fountain soaked into his nightshirt, while the sweet smell of rose water from Flower-in-the-Night mingled most realistically with scents from the flowers in the garden. But since it was a dream, it followed that his daydreams were true here, too. So Abdullah told her all about the palace that he had lived in as a prince and how he was kidnapped by Kabul Aqba and escaped into the desert, where the carpet merchant found him."
