Zaki Origin

Improved Essays
Long ago, there was a fisherman who was poor. One afternoon while fishing, he found an old bottle. It was rusty and heavy with a few gems on the handle. The fisherman, Peter, knew it was some kind of metal and wanted to sell it but not before cleaning it. He dipped a cloth in vinegar and started rubbing the bottle to get the rust off when suddenly the bottle cork fell off and out came a fog. Within a few seconds, a genie appeared, and he told him his name was Zaki. He was released from that bottle after two decades of being locked in by his own brother, Zarrar.

Arthur and Peter shot them all down with arrows. Once inside, they saw the genie Zaki chained to walls and being tortured by his evil brother, Zarrar. Arthur used his sword to break the lock and release Zaki. Zarrar started using his magic to hurt Peter and Arthur once he realized that his brother, Zaki, had been set free. He was very furious and shot them down with magic bolts, and Arthur passed out while Peter acted as if he were dead.
Zaki, when seeing all this, tried to help, but he had no evil magical power in him and couldn’t fight. He grabbed a sword and challenged his brother, Zarrar, to a combat without any magic. As they were about to begin, Peter opened his magic bottle in front of Zarrar and it sucked him in. Zaki was very grateful to Peter and told him he was ready to grant him his wishes.
Peter, seeing Arthur hurt, asked the genie to heal him as his first wish. He wished for a sack of gold and a happy life as his second and third wishes. Peter was able to buy a big fishing boat and a house with the sack of gold. He led a happy life with his children and ran a successful fishing
