[Verily thou art better than the several portions of the staff], which is a prov., was said by a poet, or by Ghaneeyeh, or Ghuneiyeh, El-Aarábeeyeh, to her son; for he was evil in disposition, [عازِمًا in the CK is a mistake for عَارِمًا,] very mischievous, notwithstanding his weakness, and slenderness of bone; and he assaulted one day a young man, who thereupon cut off his nose, and his mother took the mulct for it; so her condition became good after abasing poverty; then he assaulted another, who cut off his ear; and another, who cut off his lip; and his mother took the mulct for each; and when she saw the goodness of her condition, the camels and the sheep or goats and the household goods that she had acquired, she said thus: for from the staff when it is broken is made a سَاجُور [q. v.], and from this are made tent-pegs, and from the tent-peg is made an عِرَان [q. v.], and from this are made تَوَادٍ [pl. of تَوْدِيَةٌ, q. v.].إِنَّكَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ تَفَارِيقِ العَصَا
