Fear:
- I liked how the young boy mocked the dead "naturally I should feed the dead before the living"
- The robbers in the big group should have tried to put fear in the boy themselves
- Did this boy have superpowers, or was he just not startled by anything?
- Everything that scared normal people, could not scare the young boy
- All the people who were supposed to have scared the boy and didn't, drank to his health
- 3 pigeons landed on the boys head, that must have meant something
- The most unexpected thing cause the boy fear, a bird flying out of the soup pot
The Wizard-Dervish
- He was taking a walk with his "lala" I like that name
- Why did the young girl give the Prince advice?
- The Prince married the young girl the maiden, without her mothers consent
- Her mother was a witch
- The maiden had powers of her own
- You would think after the 2nd time the maiden would know better to turn them back into themselves right away, because her mother always saw
- The ending of this story made the least bit of sense to me
The Fish-Peri
- When the youth went out fishing for the day his magical fish was cleaning the house for him
- The youth did not know it was the fish until, he stayed behind one day to watch
- The maidens always know what to do in these stories
- After one wish is granted, they always want more because they want what they can't have because the people keep proving them wrong
- The youth was careless and didn't listen to the maiden, and the egg he dropped a mule sprang out of
- The youth eventually got to marry the maiden, and the Padishah did not
The Crow-Peri
- The boy has 40 days to find something that is impossible to find Ivory
- The boy got wine for the elephants to drink, so they would get drunk
- The boy got the queen for the Padishah and they married
- The crow that had been helping the boy was once the queens fair-servant
- The crow turned into a beautiful maiden and the boy wed her
The Crow-Peri
