ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 230 In this 230th issue of the Baba Indaba’s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates a tale from the early times of the world – THE STORY OF THE MERCHANT AND THE JINNEE plus Four Other Tales from the Arabian Nights. There was a merchant who had great wealth, and traded extensively with surrounding countries; and one day he mounted his horse, and journeyed to a neighbouring country to collect what was due to him. As the heat was oppressive, he sat under a tree, in a garden, and put his hand into his saddle-bag, and ate a morsel of bread, after which he ate a date both of which were among his provisions. Having eaten the date, he threw aside the stone, and immediately there appeared before him an 'Efreet (Genie), of enormous height, who, holding a drawn sword in his hand, approached him, and said, Rise, that I may kill thee, as thou hast killed my son. The merchant, astonished at the ‘Efreet’s claim, asked him, How have I killed thy son? He answered, When thou ate the date, and threw aside the stone, it struck my son upon the chest, and, as fate had decreed against him, he instantly died. The merchant defended himself saying, “There is no strength nor power but in God, the High, the Great! If I killed him, I did it not intentionally, but without knowing it; and I trust in thee that thou wilt pardon me.—The Jinnee answered, Your death is indispensable, as you hast killed my son:—and so saying, he dragged him, and threw him on the ground, and raised his arm to strike him with the sword. The merchant, upon this, wept bitterly, and said to the Jinnee, I commit my affair unto God, for no one can avoid what He hath decreed:—and he continued his lamentation, repeating a number of verses. At the end of his lamentations, the Jinnee said to him, Spare thy words, for thy death is unavoidable. Then said the merchant, Know, O 'Efreet, that I have debts to pay, and I have much property, and children, and a wife, and I have pledges also in my possession: let me, therefore, go back to my house, and give to everyone his due, and then I will return to thee: I bind myself by a vow and covenant that I will return to thee, and thou shalt do what thou wilt; and God is witness of what I say.—Upon this, the Jinnee accepted his covenant, and liberated him; granting him a respite until the expiration of the year.
