An Emir in the early 19th century was known to pass judgement thus: 'Is that so?, "Is that so? That is Good" That Is Good! He had a friend who goes out with him any where he goes;
A man killed his wife during a fight, 'Is that so?, That Is Good!' Another community captured his men during war, 'Is that so?, That Is Good!' A woman and her child died during labour, 'Is that so?, That Is Good!'
He had a friend who goes out with him any where he goes;
One day, he decided to go hunting when suddenly a lion attacked, the friend was trying to shot the lion when the arrow hit and cut off the Emir's right thumb, At the end, he shouted at the friend, instead of him appologising, he replied; 'Is that so?, That Is Good!' in annoyance, the Emir ordered that the friend be place in an underground prison.
He went hunting alone another day when suddenly Ritualist caught and took him for sacrifies they tied him naked to stake, sang and dance around him, when it was time to slaughter him, the found out that his fingers were not complete and its against the law to eat such, then let him go. When he got home, he ordered the friend be released and told him the story, the friend replied;'Is that so?, That Is Good!' the Emir thanked him for the injury and the friend thank the emir for imprisoning him, if not, he would have been killed for ritual as his fingers were complete. The Emir now made him the second in command, and That was good!!!
