And in his hand, a crooked stick, its top like a hekel, with bells hanging from it. He would strike it between the hands of the Sultan, two or three if necessary. The Sultans and their diwans, and if he was on a journey or in a palace, four or five would walk before him, each with a hand and saying funny things that would make the listener laugh, imitating the barking of a dog, the sound of a cat, and the braying of a donkey in Furawi Arabic, and he would proceed with his dance, breaking his head left and right, and striking one leg against the other, so that the iron anklet on his head would jingle, and the iron rings on his legs would shake. If the Sultan was traveling or in a palace, rather they would all shout one cry with the strength of their voices, saying "Ya Ya!" And so it was as long as the Sultan was riding, and there was no exclusivity in that for the Sultan, as all the great Furawi kings had a "mujabah" who would stand before him and his diwan, and walk before him on his journeys, and the "mujabah" would not be separated.
