The Story of the Hunter, the Honey, the Dog, the Weasel, and the Grocer > And through him this hunter procured the means of subsistence for his wife and child, and the provision for their maintenance and expenses, > and by that means passed his life. One day this hunter had gone to the mountain > to hunt, and was running on the tracks of game, when he reached the entrance of a cave and saw a cleft > from which honey was dripping. He looked more closely and saw many bees, > which had made their nest and dwelling within it, and day and night in that mountain range from the branches of trees > they gathered the dew that fell upon the flowers of gardens and the trees of thickets, > and grazed upon rose and hyacinth; by day they rolled upon the leaves of narcissus, and by night > slept in hexagonal pavilions which they had built of wax; with the queen bee overseeing them for > punishment, and a gatekeeper at the entrance to turn away the unclean; and honeycombs of various > colors prepared as a provision for winter. When the man saw this, he said to himself: > "Without any toil, my foot has sunk into a treasure; and without any effort, a gift has come into my grasp: > 'You have hit the mark, so hold fast; you have found, so take the spoil!' No toil could be more successful than this, and no work > could be more fitting than this. The best course is that every day I carry a portion of this honey to the city > and provide the necessities of my livelihood from its price." Forthwith he filled a vessel which he had, > brought it into the city, offered it to a grocer, agreed upon a price, > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 369.1](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.qissa.sindbadnama.369.1) - [Next: 369.25](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.qissa.sindbadnama.369.25) - [Up: 369](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.qissa.sindbadnama.369) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.qissa.sindbadnama~en-mt.369.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.qissa.sindbadnama.369.8](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.qissa.sindbadnama.369.8) · Pramāṇa
