Reading Notes: Arabian Nights, Part A

The Story of the Fisherman

The ending of this story didn't satisfy me and I believe I could add more to the story. Instead of the fisherman ignoring the repayment of the genius after trapping him, he could accept something on his terms to let him back out. He could settle an agreement with the genius by being granted three wishes in exchange for the genius freedom. I could go on to talk about the different demands that the fisherman wants from his wishes and go on with the story by talking about each wish. However, the fisherman does not know that every time the genius grants one of his wishes, he loses someone very close to him.
