The Tale of the Three Apples
Storyboard Text
- When he went home he found this son crying. He told his father that he took one of apples from his mother and went playing. Then a slave came to him and stole his apple. He cried giving him the details of the story of the apples.
- Knowing the true content of the slave’s story, the man had mourned for the last five days.
- Now, he is asking the Caliph to kill him for the unjustly deed. But the Caliph spares his life and asks Ja’afar to find the slave and if he does not find him in three days, again, Ja’afar will be killed.
- Knowing he cannot fulfil this task Ja’afar waits for three days and awaits his fate. However, when he says farewell to his family he finds an apple with his daughter who tells him Rayhan, their slave, sold it to her for two dinars. On the apple was written the name of the Caliph.
- When the slave is summoned he tells the whole story (he did not steal it from the Caliph’s Gardens but from a boy).
- He then takes the slave to the Caliph and tells him the story of the slave. But Ja’afar also says that the story is not as wondrous as the tale of Wazir Nur al-Din Ali of Egypt and his brother Shams al-Din Mohammed. The Caliph asks him to tell the story and will spare his slave if the story is more wondrous than the story of the three apples.
