The Sheikh’s Son | Arabian Nights
The Sheikh’s Son | Arabian Nights Long ago, there lived a Sheikh and his wife. They had no children. So, the Sheikh married for a second time. With his second wife, he was blessed with a son. The Sheikh loved his son dearly. Some years passed and the boy became a handsome young man. For all these years, the Sheikh’s first wife had been hating the second wife and her son. Now she even began to plot against them. One day, the Sheikh had to go on a journey. “I’ll be back before the Bakrid festival,” he told his son. I shall bring you nice gifts.” Then the Sheikh set out. At home, his first wife was waiting for such an opportunity. Finding the second wife and her son alone, the first wife charmed them with her magic spell and made them goats. The festival of Bakrid was nearing in.
