> 5 The Story of the Householder, the Wife, and the Parrot  
> The vizier said: “May the life of the just king endure in perfect fortune and all-encompassing felicity,  
> and may God, exalted and glorified, be his guardian and helper! It is related that in past months and departed years, a man had a wife who would follow satanic whisperings  
> and comply with corrupt carnal impulses, treading unknown paths of lust and greed,  
> and carrying on love affairs with downy-cheeked youths and handsome beardless lads. Now this man possessed a parrot,  
> eloquent and clever, master of tongues and articulate. Whatever occurred in the house of good or evil, of benefit  
> or harm, it would report all of it and disclose the events and happenings. One night,  
> a friend prepared a banquet and observed every elegance and ceremony fitting for agreeable friends and true brothers.  
> The man asked permission of his wife, and at the time of departure  
> he went before the parrot’s cage and said: “O wakeful sentinel, and O vigilant guard!  
> You must increase your watchfulness and guarding tonight, and draw the collyrium of wakefulness over your sight until the hour of dawn;  
> observe with a penetrating eye and sharp attention, and know whatever comes to pass,  
> — English (machine translation) (machine translation)
