In Issue 253, ?THE STORY OF THE PORTER THE LADIES OF BAGHDAD?, three visitors knock on the door of the house of the three beautiful women. They claim to be mendicants and visitors to the city and have become disoriented and lost on their way back to their lodgings. In reality they were the Kaleefeh (King), his Vizier, or Jafar, and They are invited in and given refreshments the porter during this time they hear the stories of the porter and of two of the ladies. After this the lady of the house invites the three mendicants to relate their stories. This they do, and this is the story of the second of the three mendicants. He said he was not born with only one eye; but his story should serve as a lesson to those who would be admonished. He said, he is a King, and as the son of a King he read the ?ur n according to the seven readings. He studied the science of the stars, and the writings of the poets and became proficient in all the sciences; so that he surpassed the people of his age. His hand-writing was extolled among all the scribes, and his fame spread among all countries, and among all Kings. On hearing of him, the King of India requested his father allow him to visit the King. His father, therefore, prepared six ships, and his party proceeded by sea for the space of a whole month, after which they came to land. Having disembarked the horses which they had with them in the ship, they purchased and loaded ten camels with presents, and commenced our journey. Soon there appeared a cloud of dust, which rose and spread until it filled the air before them. After it cleared they discovered they were in the midst of sixty or seventy stern looking horseman who were like the fierce lions of the desert. whom they perceived to be Arab highwaymen. When they saw that the train was but a small company with ten loads of presents for the King of India, they surrounded the train. We let them know that they were are ambassadors to the honoured King of India and requested they do them no injury. Unfortunately they replied that they were not in his territories, nor under his government. Immediately they slew a number of the young men, and the rest fled. After receiving severe wound, the prince also fled. Without further regard the Arabs took possession of the treasures and presents leaving the survivors to the ravages of the desert. What happened next you may well ask? He obviously survived the desert, but how? And how did he lose his eye? Why didn?t he return to his father?s kingdom and resume his royal duties? Surely he too would have been a king by now instead of a travelling one-eyed mendicant? What other adventures did he have and how did he feed himself? And there are so many other questions to be answered?ÿ Well the only way to find out is to download and read this story for yourself, or, read it to some of the ?little people? in your family.

A tailor and his wife are on their way home after a night out when they meet a humpbacked man, who, when looked at, gave rise to laughter in the angry, and dispelled anxiety and grief in the sad. So they approached him and invited him to return with them to their house to pass the rest evening. While eating a meal of fish, bread and limes, a bone stuck in the humpback?s throat and he expired. The man and his wife lament the humpback?s passing and wonder what to do with him. They take him to a doctor?s house and leave him before the doctor attends. The doctor, having just been awoken, stumbles through the darkness and accidentally kicks something and the object tumbles down the stairs. Once the lantern has been lit, he realises it is the patient he has kicked and who now lies at the bottom of the stairs. Thinking he too has killed the Humpback he lowers him off his roof into his neighbours property leaving him propped up outside the kitchen door. The neighbour, a steward in the employ of the Sultan, arrives home and sees a shadowy figure outside his kitchen door. He picks up a hefty mallet and attacks the figure who drops to the ground. Believing he has killed the Humpback, he covers him and carries him to the marketplace and props him against a wall before scurrying away. A drunk broker and merchant staggers by and sees a figure standing in the shadows. Seeing double and thinking he is about to be attacked, he attacks first and fells the figure. Sobering up after the experience, he calls the market night-watchman who comes over. The watchman smells the liquor on the broker?s breath and sees the dead humpback on the ground. He promptly arrests the broker and takes him and the body of the humpback to the jail for trial in the morning. Found guilty by the magistrate and sentenced to hang. The Steward is passing the scaffold on his way to work when he sees the broker about to be hung. Not wanting this on his conscience he owns up. Just as the broker is about to be hung the doctor owns up and has the noose placed about his neck! Then the Tailor and his wife can no longer bear the guilt also own up. In the meantime, word has got back to the Sultan about the weird and wonderful goings on, on the scaffold in the marketplace and the Sultan sends his Chamberlain to ascertain what was happening. The Chamberlain arrives just in time to stop the Tailor and his wife from being hung and brings them all before the Sultan. What did the Sultan do? Did he pass judgement and were they all sentenced to a term in prison, or maybe even to hang? What happens next?

Book excerpt: ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 244 In this 244th ÿissue of the Baba Indaba?s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the story of ?The Son of Seven Queens.? ONCE upon a time in Uttar Pradesh there lived a king who had seven Queens, but no children. This was a great grief to him, especially when he remembered that on his death there would be no heir to inherit the kingdom. Now it happened one day that a poor old fakir came to the King, and said, "Your prayers are heard, your desire shall be accomplished, and one of your seven Queens shall bear a son." The King's delight at this promise knew no bounds, and he gave orders for appropriate festivities to be prepared against the coming event throughout the length and breadth of the land. Meanwhile the seven Queens lived luxuriously in a splendid palace, attended by hundreds of female slaves, and fed to their hearts', content on sweetmeats and confectionery. Now the King was also very fond of hunting, and one day, before he started, the seven Queens sent him a message saying, "May it please our dearest lord not to hunt towards the north to-day, for we have dreamt bad dreams, and fear lest evil should befall you." The King, to allay their anxiety, promised regard for their wishes, and set out towards the south; but as luck would have it, although he hunted diligently, he found no game. Nor had he more success to the east or west, so that, being a keen sportsman, and determined not to go home empty-handed, he forgot all about his promise, and turned to the north. Here also he was at first unsuccessful, but just as he had made up his mind to give up for that day, a white hind with golden horns and silver hoofs flashed past him into a thicket. So quickly did it pass that he scarcely saw it; nevertheless a burning desire to capture. and possess the beautiful strange creature filled his breast. He instantly ordered his attendants to form a ring round the thicket, and so encircle the hind; then, gradually narrowing the circle, he pressed forward till he could distinctly see the white hind panting in the midst. Nearer and nearer he advanced, till, just as he thought to lay hold of the beautiful strange creature, it gave one mighty bound, leapt clean over the King's head, and fled towards the mountains. Forgetful of all else, the King, setting spurs to his horse, followed at full speed. On, on he galloped, leaving his retinue far behind, keeping the white hind in view, never drawing bridle, until, finding himself in a narrow ravine with no outlet, he reined in his steed. Before him stood a miserable hovel; into which, being tired after his long, unsuccessful chase, he entered to ask for a drink of water. Well here begins our story. What happened to the king after he entered the hovel you ask? And what of his seven wives? ÿWas the poor old fakir correct in predicting the birth of a son?

ONCE upon a time, long, long ago and far, far away in a town in Persia lived two brothers named Cassim and Ali Baba, between whom their father at his death had left what little property he possessed equally divided. Ali married a wife as poor as himself, and having no other means of gaining a livelihood he used to go every day into the forest to cut wood, and lading therewith the three asses which were his sole stock-in-trade, would then hawk it about the streets for sale. One day while he was at work within the skirts of the forest, Ali Baba saw advancing towards him across the open a large company of horsemen, and fearing from their appearance that they might be robbers, he left his asses to their own devices and sought safety for himself in the lower branches of a large tree which grew in the close overshadowing of a precipitous rock. Almost immediately it became evident that this very rock was the goal toward which the troop was bound, for having arrived they alighted instantly from their horses, and took down each man of them a sack which seemed by its weight and form to be filled with gold. There could no longer be any doubt that they were robbers. Ali Baba counted forty of them. Just as he had done so, the one nearest to him, who seemed to be their chief, advanced toward the rock, and in a low but distinct voice uttered the two words "OPEN SESAME!" Immediately the rock opened like a door, the captain and his men passed in, and the rock closed behind them. And thus begins the story and adventures of Ali Baba.

ONCE, UPON A TIME, a long, long time ago near the port of Jamnagar, a King and Queen had two sons. The older of the two was a very short and ugly man with only one eye, and that was in the middle of his forehead. His brother was tall and handsome and carried himself like a prince. Naturally the king preferred his handsome son and wished to make him his heir. "My people will never obey a dwarf with only one eye," he said. This made Deesa, the older son, very angry. "The kingdom ought to be mine," he said, "or if I cannot have it all it should be divided." He said this to his wife, whose name was Matni, and as she was an enchantress she determined to get the whole of the kingdom for her husband if possible. She thought it all over and then invited the younger brother to a banquet in that part of the palace where she lived. Then she said to her husband, "After supper you must sit with your brother on the balcony overlooking the river. I will change him into a fish and then you can throw him into the water. In this way we shall hear no more of him." Deesa agreed to this, and after supper invited his brother to sit with him on the balcony. Then Matni went up on the roof of the palace and threw down some powder on the younger Prince's head. Just as soon as she did this, the Prince was changed into a little fish, and his brother picked him up and threw him into the river. And so began the adventures of Athon-Rajah, the Fish Prince. Well, what happened next you ask...? Where did he go, what did he do? Did he ever get to speak to anyone again? Was the spell eventually broken which returned him to human form?

There, in the crucible of a bitter civil war of liberation, the young man develops into manhood. Returning, hardened, at independence, he feels that little has changed, not least within his own family circumstances, and asks himself what it means to be free in the new Zimbabwe.
