وصف الكتاب | My mother divided the children into three categories: angels, the remnants of devils, and the lineage of donkeys. She attributed the meek and obedient boys and girls to the lineage of angels. These remained there, where they had been left by the adults, who often remembered their children after midnight, when they were in another city. These children did not resort to loud crying for food, but rather sucked their fingers, imagining that it was a beautiful soup, and became fat and beautiful. |
