Zaki and the Jinni 1/101

Happily King Gayoom lived in the jungle with his family. One day along came a boy from the House of Chains. His name is Zaki. He grew up to become an ambassador of King Gayoom. He delivers the King's messages. One day Zaki mounted his horse and journeyed to a neighbouring country with a letter from the king. Halfway Zaki stopped over in luxury. He ate some grapes, dates and drank his usual. But he threw the seed of his date to an alleyway outside. To his suprise he was stunned a great big enormous Jinni. The Jinni was very furious and threatened to kill Zaki, claiming that Zaki had killed the Jinni's son with the seed of the date. Zaki said he never meant to kill anyone. Eating dates (including champa, universal and endheyri brand) during the king's missions allowed him build 10 story buildings, purchase houses from neighbouring countries and 'earn' shares from large resorts during the time everyone else was in an economic crisis. But the Jinni didn't care, and he raised his sword up to kill Zaki.

Zaki closed his eyes and started muttering some last words... "Oh my great Jinni, I have a family of few wives, girlfriends and kids here and there, and I owe many people money, please let me finish what I have to do in this world and come back to you on the first day of the next year, and I promise that I will come; by all the Gods you and I believe in".

The Jinni let Zaki go back home to finish his deals. Zaki started to repent and sort things out. But time ran out before he could finish. On the 1st day of the next year, Zaki showered, put on his death clothes and left on his horse to the Jinni alleyway, waiting for his death. While he was waiting came a doctor with a cow. A doctor Munnavvar. When he asked Zaki why he was so frightened and why he was waiting in a Jinni alley, Zaki explained his story. And then Munnavvar said he will also wait with Zaki.

Suddenly the Jinni came with his sword and as he was about to take revenge for the death of his son, Munnavvar spoke out, and said "Shall I tell you about my cow, before you kill Zaki." The jinni was anxious to listen to the story of Munnavvar's cow. Munnavvar said, "she was my wife. I married her 20 years ago. She couldn't bear children. Then I married a slave girl with whom I have got a lovely daughter, who was supposedly studying in English Clouds but currently in Malay Clouds fully funded by Universal Education System."
