The Story of the Vizir Who Was Punished

Perhaps the most intricate of the Arabian Nights, "The Story of the Vizir Who Was Punished" begins as a second tale within "The Story of the Greek King and the Physician Douban", and provides a grim twist to the debate between the Greek king and his vizir. It then continues "The Story of the Fisherman" and leads into "The Story of the Young King of the Black Isles". Follow the twists and turns of Scheherazade's storytelling in the seventh of 34 tales in the classic "Arabian Nights" collection translated by Andrew Lang.
