00:03When Zaid visits his neighbors now,
00:05the traditional feast for a visitor
00:07becomes an offering to a wealthy benefactor instead.
00:11Unlike many of Arabia's oil millionaires,
00:14Zaid believes in sharing his wealth.
00:17He told me once, the oil business is like a lottery.
00:20I might still be poor and my neighbors might be rich,
00:23so we ought to help each other.
00:25He's already given away millions.
00:28Zaid's host at this feast was one of his poorest neighbors.
00:32But now that Zaid has touched his palm with silver,
00:35he won't be quite so poor.

00:52Goat's meat, chicken, and rice.
00:55And when the VIPs are finished,

01:11It's always the custom in Arabia
01:13for the poor to eat at the rich man's table,

01:37and it's not the choicest food,
01:39but in a harsh and hungry land,
01:41any excuse is welcome for a blowout,
01:44especially when it's held for a man with money.
