The Shy Genie: Story No. 56

By Ann A. Guerra

She had collected them through her travels around the world. When she lived with her father inside a merchant ship sailing in the Persian or Indian seas. Going from port to port. All those ancient legends of kings and palaces, sultans and maidens, efrits (genies) and primitive peoples were narrated by the storytellers and transmitted through the years in an oral way. There being no other form of entertainment but the fabulous stories. Her father owned a vessel and earned his living by trading any merchandise he brought from distant places to sell later. Not having anyone to take care of his daughter and having made a promise to his beloved wife on her deathbed never to abandon or leave the child behind, he brought her to live with him on the boat.
