khoja

I will never forget meeting a tiny girl near remote Khoja Bahauddin, who unbelievably spoke English.

Thus we are told how Khoja Nazr-ed-din was sent out by his wife one day to buy egg-plants for dinner.

The khoja, obedient man, did his best to follow instructions, and a very dishevelled Seyyid succeeded in escaping into the street.

But the Khoja perceived that they had played a trick upon him.

By and by it began to rain; every one rode off as usual, and this time the Khoja among them.

One day there came a man from the village who made the Khoja a present of a hare.
