Reading Notes: Arabian Nights: The Sultan and the Fish




The Sultan has wondered into a magnificent palace after hearing about a lake with fish. The palace is just like his, only everything is better. The palace is in the middle of nowhere, and the poor king is made of marble. I am going to focus in on a servant that is watching all of this from the side. No one knows he is there because the queen cast a spell on him to make him invisible. The king doesn't even know he is there. Each day the poor servant, named Abel, helps the prince. He magically brings food and all necessities that the king may need, right to him. The king thinks he is hallucinating when these magical things come to him. When Aladdin comes to save the king, he also saves the servant. Aladdin and the genie reverse everything the queen cast. The servant is free!
