Story 25
 
 
  A man whose hands and feet had been amputated killed a millipede and
a pious passer-by exclaimed: 'Praised be Allah! In spite of the
thousand feet he possessed he could not escape from a man without
hands and feet when his fate had overtaken him.'
 
 
        When the life-taking foe comes in the rear
        Fate ties the legs of a running man.
        At the moment when the enemy has slowly arrived
        It is useless to draw the Kayanian bow.
