The dromedary stuck its yellow head out from under the throne. Its tail twitched nervously.

Sahim looked around disapprovingly. “There really doesn’t seem to be much left to take, little caliph! Your throne is too uncomfortable for me, your rugs are all already in my palace, your date preserves sweeten my days, your sand larks sing me to sleep, and you can keep your patterned and eternally grumpy grandmother. However . . .”

Emma’s knees went as soft as melting butter as Sahim’s cat eyes fixed on her.

“What is that girl there?” the yellow genie boomed. “By all the grains of sand in the desert! The little thing is as pale as the belly of a scorpion. Is she always that pale, or did the sight of me make her so?” Sahim put his finger under Emma’s chin. “And that yellow hair. Ahhh!” The genie leaned in so close that his breath made Emma’s cheeks go red. “You know, little caliph, I love everything yellow, and truly I have never seen a girl with yellow hair. I think I’ve decided what I’ll take today.”
