-"Wow,he stunned me again!He has everything that mamluk warrior needs to have:physical strength,attractive appearance and resilience.I must reward him for today's excellency.He truly deserves it!"-Suleiman pasha thought for himself.
The mamluk governor was looking at Davut sitting on his savage horse.Davut rode this horse around the entire square.Suleiman pointed Davut with his right hand to come to him and halt the stallion.In the blink of an eye,Davut halted the horse in front of the governor and jumped down.The governor smiled at him:
-You are amazing,Davut!Nobody has ever managed to ride on my stallion untill today.This savage is quite special horse for me.One leader of the Kurdish tribe bestowed me.This way,he expressed obedience towards me and the mamluk regime.I want to reward you with something especial.You will tell me what is that very special reward.Tell me,what do you want to have the most right now?
-Are there libraries here?
-Of course,there are,Davut.One huge library is inside my palace,the other is inside the madrassie you will be attending tomorrow morning.
-Which one do you recommend?
-The one which is inside my palace.You will encounter rarest and most precious books there starting from "The knight in the panther's skin" and ending with "The Ilyad" of Homeros.The question is,what book are you looking for?
-I desire to read "The knight in the panther's skin" and "The history of Georgia".
-I have 10 handwritten copies of "The knight in the panther's skin".One will be yours after 2 weeks if you show excellence in your studies and pass your exams successfully.I will personally bestow it to you.There is no book about the history of our lost homeland named "The history of Georgia".It is called "The life of Kartli".It relates the history of Georgia since the 13th century BC to the early 17th century AD.Which one do you wonder the most right now?
-I can wait 2 weeks to receive the copy of "The knight in the panther's skin",however the curiosity of learning the history of Georgia kills me everyday.I don't know anything about what my homeland went through in the past.Nobody taught me.Therefore,how would I know?I will be genuinely honoured,if you give
me "The life of Kartli".
-Now,I will lead you and your peers towards your bathhouse called hammam.After taking a bath,come along with me to the palace library and I will give it to you.
-As you command,governor.Thank you so much in advance.
Suleiman looked at Davut's peers and applied them:
-Come along with me to the bathhouse called hammam.I will show you how it functions.
-Yes,as you command us,governor!-The 15 boys loudly
exclaimed together.
