[QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [QB] Glad to see that you can admit when you are wrong. “You win some you lose some” That is what happens with an inexact science. The blacks are NOT slaves. They are the ones doing the purchasing. I read the narrative. Yes the small person is being sold. The black man makes an offer – two fingers. The merchant seems to make a conter-offer also “two fingers’. The Black men are looking over the “product”. The “cashier clerk” in the back-ground is “weighing” the payment. From the narrative it looks like the seller is lowering the value of the slave. The time-line equates to the migration of people from the Turkey through the Levant into South Arabia. [b]Quote: lioness productions team recent rough translation: "And I thought that he'll look askance at me and raise the price on me but he didn't He said ' when the his price for a slave is low and his provision is light, then his lord will be blessed by him' And I keep trying to make you love this kid by lowering his price, so weigh 200 Dirhams if you wish and thank me as long as you live, so I gave him the money right away as a cheap thing given away for the precious thing[/b] You are done with the Science and Math classes now onto Reading Comprehension. I will oblige [b]“And I thought that he'll look askance at me and raise the price on me”. [/b] The narrative is by the black man. The merchant wants to raise the price on him for the small person. [b]“I keep trying to make you love this kid by lowering his price”. [/b]The merchant lower the price because his provisions is low. In other words. It look like he did not have enough provision to sell so as a last resort he sold this person ..apparently someone of the same ethnic group as him. [b]“so I gave him the money right away as a cheap thing given away”.[/b] The buyer was happy with the deal, he got a bargain. [b]“I got your albinos. Right there in 13 c Yemen, with the turbans” .[/b] Obviously the bearded men are not land owners or upper class since they are selling produce and their own kind. Most likely new migrants to the area. See what one can do with an IQ of 144. [/QB][/QUOTE]
