دفتر سوم - بخش ۱۴ - قصهٔ اهل ضروان و حیلت کردن ایشان تا بی زحمت درویشان باغها را قطاف کنند / Book Three - Section 14 - The Story of the People of Darwan and Their Scheming to Harvest the Orchards Without the Trouble of the Dervishes

دفتر پنجم - بخش ۶۲ - قصهٔ اهل ضروان و حسد ایشان بر درویشان کی پدر ما از سلیمی اغلب دخل باغ را به مسکینان می‌داد چون انگور بودی عشر دادی و چون مویز و دوشاب شدی عشر دادی و چون حلوا و پالوده کردی عشر دادی و از قصیل عشر دادی و چون در خرمن می‌کوفتی از کفهٔ آمیخته عشر دادی و چون گندم از کاه جدا شدی عشر دادی و چون آرد کردی عشر دادی و چون خمیر کردی عشر دادی و چون نان کردی عشر دادی لاجرم حق تعالی در آن باغ و کشت برکتی نهاده بود کی همه اصحاب باغ‌ها محتاج او بدندی هم به میوه و هم به سیم و او محتاج هیچ کس نی ازیشان فرزندانشان خرج عشر می‌دیدند منکر و آن برکت را نمی‌دیدند هم‌چون آن زن بدبخت که کدو را ندید و خر را دید / Book Five - Section 62 - The Story of the People of Darwan and Their Envy of the Dervishes: How [Their] Father, Out of Soundness of Heart, Used to Give Most of the Income of the Orchard to the Poor; When There Were Grapes He Gave a Tithe, and When They Became Raisins and Syrup He Gave a Tithe, and When He Made Halva and Paludeh He Gave a Tithe, and From the Green Fodder He Gave a Tithe, and When Threshing on the Floor He Gave a Tithe From the Mixed Heap, and When the Wheat Was Separated From the Chaff He Gave a Tithe, and When He Ground It Into Flour He Gave a Tithe, and When He Kneaded It Into Dough He Gave a Tithe, and When He Baked It Into Bread He Gave a Tithe; Consequently, God Almighty Had Placed Such a Blessing in That Orchard and Crop That All the Owners of the Orchards Stood in Need of Him, Both for Fruit and for Money, While He Was in Need of None of Them; [But] His Children Saw [Only] the Expense of the Tithe, Disbelieving [and Failing to See] That Blessing, Like That Wretched Woman Who Did Not See the Gourd and Saw the Donkey
