The dervish took Baba-Abdalla to the treasure in exchange for 40 camels that he loaded with the riches. ... The dervish told him that if he placed the ointment on his right eye, he would become blind.
In "<em>The Story of Baba Abdalla"</em> we learn about the title character Baba Abdalla who is a wealthy merchant with a lot of camels that he lends out. One day he meets a Dervish who tells him of many treasures in a cave.
After they retrieve the treasures, Baba Abdallah gets selfish and convinces the Dervish to part with all the treasures he had gotten.
After this he still wasn't satisfied and wanted more and so asks the Dervish for his special ointment and learns that it lets you see the treasures hidden in the earth. The Dervish warns him that if it touches his right eye after it touches his left he would become blind.
Baba Abdallah refuses to listen even after <em>the Dervish tries to talk him out of it </em>multiple times and so he goes blind after it is rubbed on his right eye.
It is a universal theme. Everyone around us are more focused on whether or not they fit in than whether or not they are truly happy. A lot of time it is hard to fit in because of a rough past and being new to somewhere. There is no right or wrong way to life. Everyone lives their lives differently and that's what makes us special.
