    An Arab man traveled to Baghdad from the desert and became overwhelmed by the large crowds of people rushing about in all directions. To help identify himself upon waking, he tied a gourd to his ankle. However, another man saw this and secretly removed the gourd, tying it to his own ankle instead while the Arab slept. Upon waking, the Arab was confused to see the gourd on the other man's ankle and did not know whether he was himself or not.

    The Bewildered Arab by: JAMI From the solitary desert Up to Baghdad came a simple Arab; there amid

    the rout Grew bewildered of the countless People, hither, thither, running, coming, going, meeting, parting, Clamor, clatter, and confusion, All about him and about. Travel-wearied, hubbub-dizzy, would the simple Arab fain Get to sleep - "But then, on waking, How," quoth he, "amid so many Waking, know myself again?" So, to make the matter certain, Strung a gourd about his ankle, And, into a corner creeping, Baghdad and himself and people Soon were blotted from his brain. But one that heard him and divined His purpose, slyly crept behind; From the sleeper's ankle clipping, Round his own the pumpkin tied, And laid him down to sleep beside. By and by, the Arab waking, Looks directly for his signal Sees it on another's ankle Cries aloud, "Oh, good-for-nothing Rascal to perplex me so! That by you I am bewildered, Whether i be I or no! If I - the pumpkin why on you? If you - then where am I, and who?"
