Suddenly,
he heard a voice say, "Now use the magic jewel."
When
he opened his eyes, he saw a huge red snake coming towards him. Fire was coming
out from the snakes' mouth. Hatim knew that this was the snake whose jewel had
to be obtained.
So,
he threw his magic jewel at the snake. The snake got scared and threw of a
jewel. Hatim quickly picked it up and took it to the young soldier. The soldier
went to the magician and gave the jewel to him.
The
third thing had to be done now. The soldier had to jump into a tank full of hot
boiling oil and come out of it without getting burnt.
Hatim
gave the soldier the jewel given by his bear wife and told him that it would
protect him when he jumps into the tank of hot boiling oil.
The
soldier kept the jewel in his mouth and jumped into the tank of hot boiling
oil.
He
came out of it without getting burnt.
When
the soldier came out of the tank, he hugged Hatim. His eyes were full of gratitude
for him.
The
happy magician organized a grand ceremony for the wedding of his daughter to
the soldier.
Hatim
blessed the soldier and his wife, and then went on his way.
Now
he had to convince the fairy to marry the young man who had been waiting for
her for seven long years.
He
reached the mountain where he was told he would find the fairy. When he went
inside the cave of the mountain, he saw a palace.
Many
fairies came and stood around Hatim.
One
asked, "Who are you?"
Hatim
replied, "I am Hatimtai, I am the King of Yemen."
Another
asked, "Why have you come here?"
Hatim
said, "I am looking for the fairy who is the beloved of a young man who
has been waiting for her for the past seven years.
He
was taken to that fairy but she said, "I have nothing to do with that
young man"
That
night when he fell asleep, he saw the white haired man again.
He
told Hatim, "Tell the young man to put the jewel given by your bear wife
in his mouth. Then let him drink half a glass of milk. Give the rest of the
milk to this fairy to drink. Once she drinks that milk, she will start loving
to man."
When
Hatim woke up, he requested the fairy to call the young man to her palace.
When
the young man came, Hatim gave the jewel of his bear wife to him. He asked him
to keep the jewel in his mouth and drink half a glass of milk. The young man
did as he was told. Hatim gave the rest of the milk to the fairy.
The
moment the fairy drank the milk, she fell in love with the young man.
She
said, "I love you and I wish to marry you"
