English Tales/Jack and the Beanstalk

A Dervish was faring alone in the dryland, when two straightly met him. "You have lost a Twohump," said he to the Cheppers. "Indeed we have," they said. "Was he not blind in his right eye, and lame in his left leg?" said the Dervish. "He was," answered the Cheppers. "Had he lost a front tooth?" asked the Dervish. "He had," added the Cheppers. "And was he not loaded with honey on one side, and wheat on the other?"—"Most he was," they added; "and you have seen him so lately, and heeded him that, you can, in all, lead us to him."— "My friends," said the Dervish, "I have never seen your Twohump, nor ever heard of him but from yourselves."—"A pretty tale, truly!" said the Cheppers; "but where are the which were deal of his freight?"—"I have neither seen your Twohump nor your orbs," edsaid the Dervish. On this, they grabbed him, and hurried him before the Cadi, or, where, on the swotelest search, nothing could be found upon him, nor could any truth of be layed to shend him, either of falsehood or of theft. They were then about to yede against him as a warlock, when the Dervish, with great blitheness, thus told the hove: "I have been much funned with your shending, and own that there has been some ground for your ; but I have lived long, and alone; and I can find wide span for yeming, even in a dryland. I knew that I had crossed the track of a Twohump that had strayed from its owner, for I saw no token of any were footsteps on the same road; I knew that the wight was blind of one eye, as it had cropped the grass only on one side of the path: and I ongot that it was lame of one leg from the slight feeling that one of its feet had left upon the sand; so I knew that the wight had lost one tooth, for wherever it had grazed, a small tuft of grass was left unscathed, in the middle of its bite. As to that which formed the burden of the beast, the busy ants told me that it was wheat on the one side, and the clustering flies, that it was honey on the other."
