"Do you know the story of the Queen of Sheba? She was beautiful and had a kingdom far away, with many gardens of figs and pomegranates and a palace all of gold. Well, then, she heard that King Solomon was richer than she was and she couldn’t sleep.

“Those stories are in here. It’s the Holy Bible.”
Efix looked humbly at the book and didn’t continue. (180)
