The Fisherman and the Jinni
A poor fisherman casts his net four times daily. On the fourth cast, he hauls up a copper jar sealed with Solomon's seal. Opening it releases an enormous Ifrit (jinni) who, having languished in captivity for centuries, has resolved to kill whoever frees him. The fisherman tricks the jinni back into the jar by questioning how such a mighty being could fit inside, rescaling it. After the jinni pleads and promises rewards, the fisherman releases him. The jinni leads him to a magical pond with talking fish, setting off a chain of revelations about an enchanted prince turned half to stone.
