- The Prouds 110
After they were quiet, the Teacher said, “If you are
a man, you will accept it.”
It was the first time ever a man challenged the great
sultan.
The sultan smiled confidently and shouted, “What is
it, savage man?”
The Teacher answered, “I challenge you to a duel
between you and me only, and no one will interfere from
both armies. If I kill you, your army will leave and never
attack Rawna and its surrounding.”
People from both sides were amazed by the
challenge as they thought how brave the Teacher was to
challenge the great sultan.
The sultan shouted, “And when I kill you, what will
happen?”
The Teacher shouted, “If that happens, all my army,
their women, and children will be your slaves without any
fighting.”
The soldiers of Rawna’s army were stunned by
what the teacher said.
That is suicide, they thought.
It would have been better if they just surrendered to
the sultan, as he offered them, without fighting and without
becoming, with their women and children, his slaves.
The sultan and his soldiers started laughing hard at
the proposal of the Teacher. They considered it so stupid
and silly because they believed no man could beat the great
sultan.
