Sultan Evidently Had,
Well, Just a Little!
Mulal Ilnfid, sultan of Morocco, was
n born gambler. While he was still
sultan the French resident-general In
Morocco gave a party In his honor and,
knowing the monarch's passion for
gambling, organized a baccarat game.
While Mulni Hand, was winning, a
British newspaper man named Loris,
who was losing, said: "You do wrong
to take that money. It's against the
teachings of the Koran." That so
worried the sultan that he was on the
point of giving back his winnings,
when he saw nearby the French chief
justice, a recognised authority on
Mussulman law. "Tell me," said the
sultan, "whether It Is against the
Koran to take this money." The Jus
tice remained silent a moment before
replying. "Your majesty, if you have
played a straight game, you cannot
touch this money because It is mere
hazard that made you win and It Is
forbidden by the Koran to take ad
vantage of hazard. But If you how
shall I sny? forced your luck I
mean, cheated a little you may put
the money In your pocket because you
won it by your skill and cleverness."
The sultnn smiled. "Thou art tli
greatest and most learned judge f
have ever met," and he pocketed the
money.
