Two men were travelling in the desert, each one carrying his own provisions. At the request of one, they first ate together the provisions of one man, after which the second refused to share and ran away. The man went up a mountain and tried to feed on herbs and fearing wild animals, went up to the top of a tree. In the night two demons came, brought the other man, slaughtered him and cooked him.
Whilst they were eating they said to one another, “The leaves of this tree are a remedy for all kinds of illness/’ The other said, “The daughter of the king of Alexandria is insane, but the blood of a slaughtered spotted dog and tiger will heal her.” They departed and the man gathered a large quantity of the leaves and went along healing the sick. He became very rich. Then he cured the princess, acquired great wealth and married her.
