Confused, the young man consults an old woman<ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">, famous for her trickery, </ins>who lives nearby, asking for her advice<ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">. The old woman explains that the married woman's gestures were indicating that he should not approach her himself, but should said a young woman in his stead. The young man therefore sends a girl to the woman's house, carrying a token of his affections. The wife responds with performative displeasure, makes the girl blacken her face, and then sends her out by the water-way that flows from the garden into the canal. She reports this treatment to the young man, who in turn relates it to the old woman. Once more, the old woman interprets for him, explaining that his beloved was sending him a message: that he should approach her house in the blackness of night, by the water-way. That night, when the young man approaches the garden from the canal, the woman is there to welcome him, and the two make love under the trees, then fall asleep. While they sleep, the woman's father-in-law happened to step out into the garden, and seeing his son's wife in the arms of another, decides to take one of the anklets that she always wears off of her feet as evidence. Soon the wife awakes, and realises what has happened. She dismisses her young lover, and sneaks back into the house to lie beside her sleeping husband. After a while, she wakes him, and tells him she wants to sleep out in the garden instead. He agrees, and the two lie down in the same place where she had met her lover. The next morning, the wife asks her husband why his father had taken off one of her anklets in the middle of the night. When he approaches his father, the old man explains that he had caught the wife in the arms of a lover in the garden - but his son, furious, tells him that he was mistaken: his wife had been beside him all night, and the two had slept in the garden. His father, ashamed, made apologies to his son and to the wife. </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div> </div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div> </div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">[From Clouston's edition of ''Sindbadnama'']</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">|Has Note=Nishimura notes the following: </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div> </div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">'''Analogues:''' Jinadasa, ''Āvaśyakacūrṇi'', 2.
