                                          The Jinn and the Fisherman




                Once there was a man. He had a Jinn under his control. The Jinn had

            magical  powers.  He  could  change  his  shape  in  any  form.  He  was  so

            powerful that he could lift a mountain.


                The man, his master had powers to make him obey. So, the Jinn was

            ready to do anything for him. Once the Jinn did not obey his master and

            made  a  mistake.  The  master  got  angry.  He  put  the  Jinn  in  a  bottle  and

            closed it tightly     . He then threw the bottle into the sea.


                The Jinn cried, but no one was there to hear his cries. The bottle floated

            on water for many days. The Jinn thought that his master was very cruel                                    .

            All  men  were  cruel  like  his  master.  Whenever  I  became  free,  I  will  kill

            every man, even the one who sets me free.


                One day a fisherman started for the sea-shore. He cast his net as usual

            and waited for his catch. When he pulled his net out, he found it heavy.
