History:
(World's Greatest Songs I#1/10) - Abdullah Bulbul Amir was said to be the bravest of all the "sons of the Prophet." One day, Abdullah bumped into Ivan Skivinsky Skivar, a Russian. Abdullah was offended at the Russian for daring to bump into him. Abdullah took up his sword and swung it at Ivan but at the very moment his blade slew Ivan, the Russian similarly slew Abdullah.
A sultan came out at the sound of their fight and found Abdullah's body. They placed him in an honored tomb.
