> Sindbād Undertakes the Education of the Prince and the Viziers Object  
> to the lower realm, repelling it lies not within the capability of created beings: "And when God wills evil for a people, there is no repelling it" (13:11).' When the king heard the elephant-driver's argument,  
> ‘\[When\] God \[intends\] evil for a people, there is no turning it back’ (Qurʾān 13:11). When the shah heard the argument of the elephant-keeper,  
> he forgave his offense.  
> \[Sindbād said,\] 'And I, the servant nurtured by the bounty and praying for the realm of the king, have up until this  
> point, under the shadow of his kindnesses and graces, acquired the means of religious and worldly prosperity,  
> and within the shelter of his clemency and the proximity of his mercy, occupied myself with resolving grave matters and solving difficult problems.  
> And when the king's luminous judgment bestowed upon the servant the honor of educating his son,  
> I performed every exertion and endeavor that was possible. Yet a secret among the deposits  
> of fate and the concealments of destiny placed the hand of rejection upon his forehead and cast away the cast of his dice,  
> and no creature can gallop a horse or carry a ball on the field of resistance against celestial fate.  
> And now the auspicious stars of the heavens are aspecting the prince's ascendant, and up to this point  
> I have been watching for this opportunity and waiting for this hour; by compiling the astronomical table and casting the ephemeris,  
> I have awaited and observed the rising of these auspicious stars and the attainment of this goal. And now,  
> by the requirement of fate, the aspect of the two auspicious planets, and the effect of the Creator's grace, I undertake  
> that within the space of six months I shall teach all that belongs to the conduct of kings and the conditions of sovereigns, including noble  
> morals, praiseworthy qualities, subtleties of the sciences, exquisite dispositions, the secrets of the science
