第17話: シンバッドが壺の中の煙のジェニーと出会い、彼を欺いて宝の地図を手に入れる

17

One day, Sinbad travels through the desert, but is caught in a sandstorm. He is found and taken in by a poor widow from the city of Tessa, and to repay her, Sinbad uses her late husband's nets to go fishing. He catches a sealed jar and opens it, releasing a Smoke Genie who was imprisoned by the Blue Demon King for having helped humans. The genie prepares to kill Sinbad, but the boy outwits him by demonstrating how he would fit into the jar; and once the genie is inside, Sinbad reseals the vessel. Pleading for his freedom, the genie promises to show him the way to treasure, and once released, he directs Sinbad to a lake amongst four hills, where he is to catch four fishes, each in a different ccolor, and bring them to the local king. For helping humans again, the curse of the Demon King sinks the Smoke Genie back into the sea. Note: This episode is based on the story "The Fisherman and the Jinni" and its substory "The Ensorcelled Prince". (Source: Wikipedia)
