They believe the houses are now haunted by powerful demonic entities known as djinn.

他们认为这些房子现在被称为灯神的强大恶魔实体所困扰。

'Whew! ' said the Djinn, whistling, 'that's my Camel, for all the gold in Arabia!

” 灯神吹着口哨说， “那是我的骆驼， 阿拉伯所有的黄金！ “哇！

'Do you see that'? said the Djinn.

“你看到了吗” ？ 巨灵说。

'My long and bubbling friend, ' said the Djinn, 'what's this I hear of your doing no work, with the world so new-and-all'?

“我的老朋友，”神灵说，“我听说你在这个全新的世界里没有工作，这是怎么回事？”

'Djinn of All Deserts, ' said the Horse, 'is it right for any one to be idle, with the world so new-and-all'?

“沙漠之神，”马说，“世界如此崭新，任何人都应该无所事事吗？”

The Djinn sat down, with his chin in his hand, and began to think a Great Magic, while the Camel looked at his own reflection in the pool of water.

灯神坐下来，手托着下巴，开始思考一个大魔法，而骆驼则看着​​自己在水池中的倒影。

'You've given the Three extra work ever since Monday morning, all on account of your 'scruciating idleness, ' said the Djinn; and he went on thinking Magics, with his chin in his hand.

“从星期一早上开始，你就给了三位额外的工作，这都是因为你‘极度懒惰’，”巨灵说。他继续思考魔术，手托着下巴。

Presently there came along the Djinn in charge of All Deserts, rolling in a cloud of dust (Djinns always travel that way because it is Magic), and he stopped to palaver and pow-pow with the Three.

不久，负责所有沙漠的巨灵出现了，他在一团尘土中打滚（巨灵总是那样旅行，因为这是魔法），他停下来与三人交谈和交流。
