He
asked them where he could find that fairy. They took him near another mountain.
There
he saw another young man crying. Hatim asked him why he was crying.
The
man told him that he was a soldier. He loved the daughter of a magician, but
the magician had put some conditions for him to marry her.
The
first condition was to get a pair of pariru. The second was to get a red
snake's jewel. The third was to jump into a tank of hot boiling oil and come
out without getting burnt..
The
soldier said, "I can't do all this, yet I love her a lot. So I am just
crying what else can I do?"
hatim
said, "Don't worry. I will help you."
Hatim
had a generous soul. He couldn't see anyone in pain. So he set out to fulfill
the three conditions that could get the soldier, the girl he dearly loved.
The
first condition was to get a pair of Pariru. He knew that a pariru was a
peacock with a human face.
He
reached a mooted town. A moat is a ditch made around a city to prevent enemies
from coming in.
All
the people of the city were sitting together, as if discussing something. dejection
and gloom was clearly evident on their faces.
Hatim
asked one of them, "Why are you all so sad? What is the matter?"
The
man said, "A demon troubles us every night. He comes and kills five or six
of us every night"
Hatim
decided to help them.
