Fayiz and the Peri Wife
- Fayiz was a handsome married man. One day in the woods he met a beautiful maiden in the woods and they fell in love. She then took him to a magical house in the woods and they married.
- Years passed by and they had two boys, but he eventually felt homesick.
- His wife told him not to tell his other wife that she was a Peri, and when he visited his other wife and children they kept asking questions. He pushed it off at first, but then the other wife threatened to leave his two sons to fend for themselves and he told her everything.
- The Peri wife saw this happen and told him that he would never see him or their children again. Fayiz left his other wife and went to the woods every day singing for his Peri wife, but she never came back.
- A man smoked hemp and went to the bath house. He was with the barber and when the barber held up the mirror he believed that he was the most handsome man on the planet.
- As a result, he wanted to travel to China to marry the Chinese king's daughter.
- He arrived with a group of men to the kingdom and made a wager with the king that if they could eat seventy pots of ash they could marry his daughter.
- They ate all of it and when they made their way back home they began arguing who would have her.
- The man then wondered who he was in this story and awoke in the barber shop.
- A tortoise was planting seeds for his crop and a fox came by at various times that year and said, "God give you strength."
- When the tortoise harvested the crops the fox came for his share in the crops because of his support.
- The tortoise said no and the fox said they should race and the winner takes all of the crop.
- The tortoise had his brother who looked identical to him wait at the finish line and tricked the fox into thinking that he had been beaten. The fox was then sent away.
- This showed how the greedy are put to shame.
