294. In Baghdad, Dreaming of Cairo: and vice-versa

The plot draws largely from an English legend, "The Pedlar of Swaffham", which has been also used by Borges in his Tale of Two Dreamers, collected in Universal History of Infamy.

Another possible source is also in the work of the 13th century Persian poet Jalal al-Din Rumi, who in one of the stories of his Mathanawi tells an almost identical tale. In a modern translation the story (told in verse) is titled "In Baghdad, Dreaming of Cairo: In Cairo, Dreaming of Baghdad". In it, a poor man in Baghdad who inherits a lot of money and land only to squander it quickly and become poor again has a dream, in which a voice tells him to go to Cairo and dig in a certain spot to find his wealth. When he gets there, while wandering the streets and begging for coins he is picked up by a night patrol. When he tells his story to the patrolman, the latter calls him a fool and tells him of a similar dream (which he had dismissed) about a place in Baghdad, describing the very street and house in which the poor man lives.

293. The tollsters of the Khyber?

Arguably the most powerful and dominant tribe of the Khyber region, they lay claim to an inaccessible upland area, the Tirah, which even today is cut off from the modern world and where everyday life is governed by the ageless precepts of the Pakhtoonwali.

From time immemorial, they have literally been able to force every passing conqueror to pay toll tax for use or passage through the Khyber Pass

Today they are considered to be consummate smugglers and also run numerous gun manufacturing units in the region, supplying them to Jihadis all over the muslim world.
