Excerpt from The Arabian Nights: Edited With an Introduction

As he ate his dates he threw the stones care lessly in different directions; then, having finished his repast, being a good Mussulman, he washed his hands, face, and feet, and said his prayers.

Before he had finished he saw a genie, white with age and of enormous size, advancing towards him with a scimitar in his hand. He spoke to him in a terrible voice, bidding him Rise, that I may kill you with this scimitar, as you have killed my son.
