The Arabian Nights: Reading 8

Tales Read:

  • The Third Dervish's Tale
My reaction:
Wow. This guy is a real idiot. Reasons why I believe this to be true. 1) He can't follow instructions
2) He obviously does not know to be cautious when dealing with fate
He had one job. To not invoke god. Literally, that was the only thing he couldn't do. Of course he has to pray, and ends up on the little island. Also, after hearing the fate of the boy, why wouldn't he just leave for a day when he was scheduled to kill the boy. Instead of screwing around with knives and crap. Oh, and I almost forgot how stupid it is of him to not listen to instructions yet again. The young men tell him not to ask about their conditions, but as in all tales it seems, they have to be curious. So he decides at the end to figure out about their blindness. The third dervish as a person just irritates me. For a king, he does not have much sense.
