Summary of Frame 2 (front cover): Anis al-Jalis said to the sheikh Ebrahim, “Do you allow me to light one of these candles?” The sheikh said, “Get up and light a candle.” She lit all the candles and sat down. They sat down and sang poems and drank wine. The Khalifa climbed the tree and reached a branch that overlooked the porch of the palace. He saw a boy and a girl like the moon, who were sitting while Sheikh Ibrahim was holding wine in his hand and talking to Anis Al-Jalis.
