Hatim
thanked the old man and started his journey back to Husn Bano's city.
Had
had solved the second puzzle too and wanted to her.
One
his way, he saw that a big black snake was about to eat a golden snake. He
could not bear to see this. He took out his sword and killed the cruel back
snake.
Suddenly
the golden snake disappeared. Hatim looked around to see whether it had
slithered behind the bushes.
Then
all of a sudden, a young man appeared in the place where he had previously seen
the golden snake. He was standing next to the dead black snake.
The
young man said, "I am the Prince of Jinns. You have saved me from my
slave."
"Do
you, mean that this black snake was your slave?" asked Hatim, pointing
towards the dead snake in front of him.
"Yes,
today he would have killed me had you not come to save me. Thank you so
much," said the grateful young man.
Hatim
said, "Don't thank me, and thank the Lord that he sent me here at the
right time to save you."
The
young man said, "You must come with me to my kingdom."
He
then took Hatim to his palace. There the king of Jinns thanked Hatim for saving
his son. He gave him a lot of money and gifts, all of which Hatim gave to the
poor.
The
young Prince of Jinn said, "I know that you are brave, but if you ever
need help just think of me. I will immediately come to help you."
The
king of Jinns also gave a magic stick and a magic jewel to Hatim as a gift.
The
magic stick would become a boat when thrown into water, and the magic jewel had
the power to cure the bite of poisonous snakes.
Before
Hatim went away, the king bade him farewell and said, 'I am glad to meet you.
You are courageous and tender-hearted, a rare combination of qualities."
Hatim
thanked the father and the son and moved on his way to the city of Husno Buno.
Hatim
reached her palace and told her that he had solved the second puzzle too. She
was glad to hear of it.
