Reading Diary Part B - Persian Tales

This is part B to my reading diary post on Persian Tales.

Fayiz and the Peri Wife - This is a sad story, like was explained in the introduction to this story.  Though it was still the Fayiz's fault because he was originally married when he first married the Peri wife.

The Hemp-Smoker's Dream - This was an amusing story and certainly shows how far the imagination can take you.

The Story of the Wolf-Bride - This was a rather short story.  I am not sure what the point of the story was, but it just had the prediction of the boy's fate, the boy's fate and then the story ended.

The Man Who Went to Wake His Luck - The man in this story, certainly had this coming to him.  The man was specifically told about how the Wolf would eat a foolish man.  Since the man acted foolish, he obviously was going to be eaten.

Tortoise Bowl-On-The-Back and the Fox - The moral at the end of the story shows that anyone who is greedy will not have much success for greediness does not get you anywhere.

The Shepherd Who Found Treasure - This story shows that people can pay attention to the world that is happening around them and that will cause you to be successful in life.

The Merchant and the Saffron - This story was a very satisfying story because it showed that if you show kindness to the world and do business with the world, then the world will be kind back to you and help you.

Shah Abbas and the Poor Mother - This story, while sad at the beginning, ended on a high note because the family with the poor mother was able to obtain wealth and food for the rest of their days.

The Apparition of the Prophet Khizr - This story was a very interesting story to read.  It was entertain but that was about all I could obtain from it.  However, I do not understand why the poor man using the money to prevent embarrassment caused the Prophet Khizr to appear.

The Story of the Baker and the Grateful Fish - This story shows that it can be very helpful to be nice to all of the people around you.  You never know when they will be able to help you with a situation that you are currently in.
