One day, as the Sultan was busy sharpening his arrows ready to go
hunting his knife slipped and accidentally cut off his finger! He was in
a lot of pain and very upset indeed that he had lost his finger and
feared he would never be able to go hunting again.
Omar had not been in the palace when the Sultan had the accident,
but as soon as he heard the news, he rushed to see his friend to try
to comfort him.
When he got to the palace, Omar realized just how unhappy the
Sultan was and knew he was in a lot of pain. Omar tried to cheer him

come because of it." The Sultan was very upset by Omar's words and
became very, very angry, and thought to himself how could anyone
say cutting his finger off could ever have any good in it!
