The Fisherman and the Jinnee
Snemalna Knjiga Besedilo
- Once upon a time there was a poor fisherman who had a wife and three children to support.
- He used to cast his net four times a day. It chanced that one day he went down to thesea at noon and, reaching the shore, set down his basket, rolled up his shirt-sleeves,and cast his net far out into the water. After he had waited for it to sink, he pulled onthe cords with all his might; but the net was so heavy that he could not draw it in. Sohe tied the rope ends to a wooden stake on the beach and, putting off his clothes,dived into the water and set to work to bring it up. When he had carried it ashore,however, he found in it a dead donkey.
- “By Allah, this is a strange catch!” cried the fisherman, disgusted at the sight. After he had freed the net and wrung it out, he waded into the water and cast it again, invoking Allahs help. But when he tried to draw it in he found it even heavier than before.Thinking that he had caught some enormous fish, he fastened the ropes to the stake and, diving in again, brought up the net. This time he found a large earthen vessel filled with mud and sand.
