| There are usually four beggars sitting outside the mosque but one - Hajj has gone on pilgrimage to Mecca. A poetry seller arrives and unable to sell any poems sits with the beggars to beg alms. The other beggars are not happy with this as it is Hajj's place but he tells them he is Hajj's cousin. The poetry seller has some success with his begging.
