Synopsis

This is a story of one king, whose wife ceased to love him and enchanted him after he has mortally wounded her favorite slave who was her lover. Earlier the kingdom consisted of the isles, but the queen turned it to four small mountains and all the people in the kingdom to fishes. The queen made her poor husband half-marble. She came every day to beat him. By the enchantments, she kept her slave alive, but he couldn’t move or speak. The unfortunate king told this pity story to the Sultan and they together made up a plan to revenge on the enchantress. Whether they succeeded or not you will know when you read the whole fairy tale.
