that sells birds, which makes him angry about his life and his work,
but he tolerates the owner of the shop Alfaz. He is only working for
him until he receives a letter with news of his acceptance in a new
job as an accountant for mortmain properties. However he discovers
account speculation by the overseer of the mortmain accounts, although
the mortmain overseer is able to get coverage for his thefts. Shahata
becomes acquainted with the daughter of the mortmain overseer and
falls in love with her. However she ridicules his love for her when
he becomes the last employee working for her father. While he is
asking her to marry him he leaves her and does not have the courage to
raise the subject of marriage with her father. The daughter of the
mortmain overseer makes plans to marry Shahata while he retains his
position as her father's last employee. A dancer claims she has given
birth to a boy who was the son of the mortmain overseer and she has
left the boy with him. Everyone knows there was a boy named Halmoos
but they do not know who were his mother and father. The daughter of
the mortmain overseer learnes about this incident and claims she was
the boy's mother by Shahata. Shahata suddenly comes upon this Halmoos
and while the mortmain overseer is protesting this marriage Shahata
reminds him of his theft of time and his forging of account
signatures. The father is obliged to agree to the marriage. However
the daughter of the mortmain overseer tells Shahata Effendi the truth
and he is touched by it. He feels like leaving the boy with her and
the people. However the days pass and Shahata Effendi wins the
lottery and becomes rich. He trades it for a relationship with the
family of the mortmain overseer. The mortmain overseer's daughter
loves him and he is happy to marry her.
