The Tamarisk opened his mouth and spoke. He addressed the Date Palm: "My body …… the bodies of the gods. (The reference is to statues of tamarisk wood.) You grow your fruits but someone places them before me like a maid approaching her mistress. You do not provide the measuring vessels. You are …… minor crops, but I ……. Your attendants …… before me for you."
