A stone hit the boy in the eye and killed him. parker_collins20 https://padlet.com/parker_collins20/au21m9w8x4ha/wish/327837583 2019-02-05 15:46:03 UTC https://padlet.com/parker_collins20/au21m9w8x4ha/wish/327837583 The merchant implores the genie to forgive him, because he did not mean to kill anyone. But the genie shows no mercy. Right before the genie kills the merchant, Scheherazade pauses the story because it is time for the sultan to begin his day. She tells the sultan not kill her, because the rest of the story is even more interesting. The sultan agrees jack_major20 https://padlet.com/parker_collins20/au21m9w8x4ha/wish/328091210 2019-02-06 02:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/parker_collins20/au21m9w8x4ha/wish/328091210 The next morning, Scheherazade resumes her story. The merchant asks the genie if he can return home to say goodbye to his family before he is killed. The genie agrees, and takes the merchants word that the merchant will return a year from now to be executed jack_major20 https://padlet.com/parker_collins20/au21m9w8x4ha/wish/328092208 2019-02-06 02:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/parker_collins20/au21m9w8x4ha/wish/328092208 A year passes. After getting all his affairs in order, the merchant leaves his family with great sadness. When he arrives at the tree, he meets an old man. After being introduced, the merchant tells the old man why he is there. After learning of the merchant's oath, the old man decides to wait for the genie with him to see what happens jack_major20 https://padlet.com/parker_collins20/au21m9w8x4ha/wish/328093317 2019-02-06 02:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/parker_collins20/au21m9w8x4ha/wish/328093317 The sultan allows Scheherazade to live another day so she can finish the story. Shortly after the first man arrived, two more old men arrived. When they learned of the merchant's oath, they agreed to stay until the genie arrived. jack_major20 https://padlet.com/parker_collins20/au21m9w8x4ha/wish/328093710 2019-02-06 02:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/parker_collins20/au21m9w8x4ha/wish/328093710 Finally, the genie arrives. As he prepares to kill the man, the first old man throws himself at the feet of the genie. He asks the genie to spare this man. He tells the genie if his story is better than that of the merchants, then he will spare the merchant. The genie agrees, and the old man begins his story. jack_major20 https://padlet.com/parker_collins20/au21m9w8x4ha/wish/328094227 2019-02-06 02:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/parker_collins20/au21m9w8x4ha/wish/328094227
