The Adventures of Hajji Baba1954

Hajji Baba:
What has happened to you? Where is your caravan?

Akim:
Captured in the Great Pass on the short route to Nashed. We were set upon by the Turkoman women.

Hajji Baba:
Your tale is difficult to believe my friend. I hear these escaped harem girls are creatures of delicate beauty.

Akim:
Do not be misled, young man. They're beautiful, yes, and enchanting, but they're sirens - cold. Their hearts are full of hatred. They rose up out of the hills like demons and rode us down! Those of us who were not killed in the fighting were hung up for the vultures.
