Abstract

The episode highlights the rural and bedouin way of life. It explains how the arabian coffee (sada) is prepared, and its importance in evening meetings and events.

The animal is slaughtered and divided into three parts: the first one is offered to the poor, the second to the relatives and the remaining part for the family consumption.
