In those days, often there occurred robbery in the deserts. So, the group of rich merchants had a preparation to guard them. They traveled without any problem for twelve days. On the thirteenth clay, they found a beautiful oasis. The oasis was completely deserted. However, the green oasis in the midst of the bare sands tempt them to take a rest there. While they were resting, all on a sudden robbers attacked them. The robbers attacked so swiftly that the victims had nothing to do to resist them. The robbers took away all the money and valuable goods of the merchants.
