house, but as soon as his daughter had sight of me she veiled her

ensorcelled and I am able to release him." When her father heard

her words, he said, "Allah upon thee, O my daughter, release

him." So she took a gugglet of water and, after uttering words

over it, sprinkled upon me a few drops, saying, "Come forth from

that form into thy former form." And I returned to my natural

shape.
