Small Abdul and the Caliph's Daughter: gold and companions

Though the Caliph was not apologetic for not believing in the abilities of such a strange group of individuals, he offered his daughter’s hand in marriage as a reward for Small Abdul.

Though the Caliph was not apologetic for not believing in the abilities of such a strange group of individuals, he offered his daughter’s hand in marriage as a reward for Small Abdul.

The Caliph was shocked at Small Abdul’s decline but perhaps because he saw newfound respect in the small man, or perhaps because he was embarrassed for not believing that Small Abdul could fulfill the task, the Caliph offered both his weight as well as Big Abdul, Fatima, the peacock’s, and the mehari’s weight in gold combined as a reward, instead.

With this, Small Abdul happily accepted.

He lived the rest of his days happily in a life of comfort and wealth with his loving mother, Fatima, father, Big Abdul along with his great companions the mehari and the peacock.

The End.
