Chapter 6 The Story of Prince Ahmed and the Fairy Paribano (1)
Once upon a time there was a king who had three sons and a niece.The name of the eldest prince is Hussein, the name of the second prince is Ali, the name of the little prince is Ahmed, and the name of the princess, his niece, is Noroniya.

Princess Noronia is the daughter of the king's younger brother. Her father died when the princess was very young.The king left the little princess in the palace, educated her personally, and let her grow up with the three princes.He planned to marry her to the prince of the neighboring country when she was of the right age, so as to form an alliance with the neighboring country.But he found that the three princes were all passionately in love with the princess, and now he had to consider the matter more carefully.He thought about it, and felt that the biggest problem was to get the two younger brothers to agree to give up the princess to his elder brother, but he found that the two younger brothers were very stubborn and were unwilling to do so.So he called the three princes to his side and said to them: "Children, you are all excellent and stable, so I can't persuade you not to love the princess. I think, if you travel to different countries alone, It's not a bad thing if we don't see each other. As you all know, I am very curious and like all kinds of new things. I promised the princess that whoever can bring back the most rare things will marry her. Wife. You all go on a treasure hunt, and I will prepare it for you."

The three princes have always listened to their father's words, and this time they also obeyed his father's arrangement. Everyone expressed confidence that they would not let their father down.

A sum of money was given to each of them, and that day they ordered the servants to pack their bags and prepare for their departure the next morning.The next morning they set out from the same city gate, each dressed as a merchant, with a retinue dressed as a slave, both master and servant well equipped.On the first day, they walked side by side and stayed in the same hotel for one night. There was a three-way intersection in front of the hotel.That night, they discussed at dinner that they would meet at this hotel in a year's time, and those who arrived first had to wait for those who arrived later, and when all three of them arrived, they would return home together.After breakfast the next day, they hugged and blessed each other, then mounted their horses and each chose a path to embark on the journey.

The eldest prince Hussein arrived at Bisnagar City, the capital of the Bisnagar Kingdom.He settled down in a hotel exclusively for foreign businessmen, where people told him that the city is divided into four major regions, and various merchants set up shops and sell things according to the regions, and the center of the city is the royal palace location.So the next day, he came to one of the urban areas.

Prince Hussein looked at everything in this city in amazement.This large urban area is divided into several blocks, and although it is in a backlit position, it looks bright and transparent.The shops on one street are all the same size and sell the same commodity, while the smaller streets are where craftsmen do business.

The shop sells a wide variety of goods, including the finest linen from several parts of India, printed with colorful and local beasts, trees and flowers; There were brocades; porcelain from Japan and China; and tapestries of all kinds, so varied that he was amazed and could not believe his eyes.However, when he walked into gold shops and gem shops, he was overjoyed by the dazzling array of gold and silver products, and he was dazzled by the pearls, diamonds, rubies and emeralds on the shelves.

Another thing that surprised Hussein was that the streets were full of vendors selling roses, because Indians love flowers so much, everyone either holds a bunch of flowers in their hands or wears a few flowers on their hair.The florist keeps the flowers in pots in the store, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Hussein walked through the entire city street by street, and he was overwhelmed by the prosperity and wealth he saw.

Finally, when he was exhausted from walking, a businessman politely invited him to sit in his shop for a while, and Hussein agreed.After sitting for a long time, I saw a peddler passing by the door of the shop with a blanket under his arms. The blanket was only about six square feet in size, but he asked for 30 gold coins.Hussein stopped the vendor and said he wanted to see the blanket, because in his opinion, the blanket was not worth that much, not only because it was too small, but also because the material was too economical.He looked at the blanket carefully, and then said to the peddler that he did not understand why such a small and ordinary blanket should be sold for such a high price.

The peddler thought he was a businessman, so he replied: "If you think this price is too expensive, then let me tell you, someone else offered 40 gold coins, and you think it is even more unbelievable now. This is a good thing, can you buy it?" Don't miss it!" "Understood, there must be something unusual about it." Hussein replied.

After hearing this, Hussein thought that the main purpose of this trip was to bring rare treasures to his father, and he had never encountered anything more satisfactory, so he said to the peddler, "If this blanket is really In addition to giving you ten more gold coins, I will also give you a gift for the function you mentioned." "Sir," the peddler replied, "I am telling the truth, and it is not difficult for you to believe me, as long as You buy it for 40 gold coins, and I'll try it out for you.

However, I guess you don't have that much money with you, and I can go with you to the hotel where you are staying to get the money.Let's say good-bye to the shopkeeper and go to the backyard. I'll open the blanket and we'll both sit on it. You make a wish and let him take us to your hotel. If it doesn't move, the money I will not do business with you.As for your offer to give me a gift, I will accept your kindness with great gratitude! "

Hussain believed what the peddler said and wanted to get off the blanket.After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, they came to the backyard, opened the blanket, and sat on it. As soon as he made a wish for the blanket to take him and the vendor to the hotel, they found that he and the vendor were already in the hotel.This is enough to prove the ability of the blanket!So he counted 40 gold coins to the peddler to buy the flying carpet, and gave him an extra 20 gold coins.

In this way, Hussein became the master of the flying carpet.He thought ecstatically: I came to Bisnaga and found such a magical flying carpet. Princess Noronia must be mine!In short, he thought it was impossible for his two younger brothers to find a treasure comparable to his flying carpet.Sitting on the blanket, he can go wherever he wants; however, he must abide by the agreement with his two younger brothers to stay in this country.And his curiosity made him want to see King Bisnagar and the palace, and understand the national power, laws, customs and religion of this country, so he planned to live there for a long time and spend a few months to satisfy his needs curiosity.

Hussein originally wanted to stay in the Bisnagar Kingdom for a while, but he missed the princess so much, so he opened the flying carpet and sat on it with his followers. As soon as he made a wish, the flying carpet brought them to him. The hotel where the two younger brothers met.

Prince Ali, the second younger brother of Hussein, planned to travel to Persia. After saying goodbye to his brothers, he chose another road. After walking for three days, he joined a caravan. After four days, he arrived in the capital of Persia. Raz.

There, he disguised himself as a jeweler.

The next morning, Ali, who brought only the necessities of life with him, disguised himself and came to the city called Birestin by the Cheraz people.

The peddlers coming and going peddled all kinds of goods, and a peddler holding an ivory telescope aroused his curiosity. This telescope was a foot long but only as thick as a thumb, and asked for 30 gold coins.At first, he thought the peddler was a lunatic. To confirm his guess, he walked into a shop, pointed at the peddler and said to the shopkeeper standing at the door: "Sir, is that guy crazy?"

"Sir," replied the shopkeeper, "he was well yesterday, and I assure you, he is the most capable peddler we have here, and the best deal in precious commodities! If he bid thirty gold pieces, the ivory The telescope is worth that price, maybe more than 30 gold coins.

You sit on the sofa and rest for a while, he is about to pass by my store, let me call him in, the things he sells will definitely satisfy you. "

Ali agreed, and when the peddler passed by the store, the shopkeeper called his name, pointed to Ali and said to him: "This gentleman just asked me if you were crazy, because the telescope looks worth less than 30 yuan." Now you tell this gentleman why your ivory binoculars cost so much. I know you well, that thing cannot be worth so much money for no reason.” The peddler said to Ali: “Sir, you are not the first A man who takes me for a madman. You can judge for yourself whether I am mad or not. I will tell you the good of it first. I hope you will think it is as good as those customers who first thought me as a madman. Value for money."

The peddler took out the ivory tube, and said, "Look, this tube has mirrors on both ends, and through either lens, you can see anything you want to see." "Very well," said the prince , "If you lie to me, I won't forgive you!" He said, took the ivory tube, looked at the two lenses, and said, "Tell me which lens to look at quickly." After listening to the peddler's explanation, he Looking through the glass, he wanted to see his father, and he saw at once that his father was seated in good health on a throne in the middle of the palace.The next thing he wanted to see was the person dearest to him besides his father, Princess Noronia, and he saw her laughing with the maids in the dressing-room at once.

This is enough to prove that the telescope is rare. If he doesn't buy it, this opportunity will never come again!
