First Sentence:	The tower clock of the great mosque of Jamaa Kibur, in Tangier, was sadly in need of repair, but there was no Mussulman who knew enough to do the work.
Last Sentence:	In the character of a donkey, therefore, the artisan entered the Mohammedan temple, mended the clock--not at all, indeed, like a donkey, but as such in the opinion of the faithful--and came out again; and the great mosque of Tangier has never since needed another visit of the "donkey" to its clock.
