"So I opened my eyes and saw a black ghost approaching me little by little. I was terrified at the sight of it, and I ran to the stem of the tree and hid behind it. It continued to advance until it was next to me. He lit a small lamp that was in his hand, and I recognized it by its light. Then I saw an old hag dressed like the poor and wearing their skin. So she walked and looked at the faces of the dead. Until she reached the point of death of the old man, so she knelt beside him for an hour, crying and lamenting him, then she walked to his head and limbs, gathered them and joined them to his body, then she dug a hole for him under the stem of the tree and buried him in it, and she stood over his grave to bid him farewell. "Lessons" is one of the classics of literature, that literary production that takes us back to the creativity of past eras, but in a smooth, modern image, so that we can sail into the past with the oar of the future. As Al-Manfaluti accompanies us in this literary expanse, we notice his Arabization of foreign novels, as if their events were taking place on our own land. He draws inspiration from the spirit of the novel and then expresses it with an authentic Arab spirit that touches the reader's soul and conscience.
