A long time ago, there was a fisherman named Abdullah. He is poor and has nine sons. He lives by fishing, and the money he earns by fishing at the seaside every day is only enough to make ends meet. Only by being lucky and catching more fish can we buy some fruits for our children and improve their lives. In a word, Abdullah's family is poor, and he has not eaten the last meal. He always sighs and says, "What will you eat tomorrow?"

At this critical moment of poverty, his wife gave birth to another son, bringing the total to ten sons. In this way, the burden of a family of twelve fell on the poor fisherman's shoulders, and he could not support himself, especially on the day when his youngest son was born. There is nothing to eat at home, and adults and children are very hungry.

His wife said, "Master, try to get something to eat and let us live."

"ok." The fisherman said, "I hope God will bless me on this auspicious day when the baby is born. I will go fishing near Shanghai. Maybe this new baby will bring us good luck. "

"Let's go! God bless you and go fishing. "

Fisherman and pastry merchant

The fisherman came to the seaside with his fishing net, cast his net hopefully, stared at the sea and prayed silently: "Lord! Please give our children a rich life and don't let him suffer. "

He waited patiently for a while, then closed the net, but there was not even a small fish in the net except garbage, mud, sand and seaweed. He cleaned the fishing net, cast the net for the second time, waited for a while to close the net, but still didn't catch any fish. He caught a third net, but he still didn't catch any fish. Helpless, he had to continue to cast his net in another place, but he still couldn't catch the fish. In this way, I changed places frequently, but I never caught a fish.

He was surprised and said to himself, "Did God create this child to make him suffer? No, it's absolutely impossible. Allah is omnipotent and will certainly give food to children; God is merciful, and he will feed and clothe the child. "

He muttered, put away his fishing net and went home, thinking about his wife and newborn baby, feeling uneasy like a knife. How is this good? What should I say to the children?

Walking silently, he unconsciously walked to Abdullah's stove, which was full of bread buyers. The smell of bread made him feel hungrier. This is the season when food is scarce. Bread buyers crowded in front of the bakery, scrambling to hand over their money one by one, hoping to buy bread early. Abdullah, who sells bread, is as busy as a bee because there are too many customers.

At that time, he looked up and saw the poor fisherman and shouted to him:

"Do you want some bread?"

The fisherman was silent.

"Go, don't be embarrassed, God is merciful." Abdullah, who sells bread, urged, "If you have no money, I can give it to you on credit and pay me back when you have money."

"God is here, let me tell you the truth. Now I'm so poor that I have to take this fishing net as collateral, buy some bread on credit and take it home to make a living. I'll redeem it tomorrow when I catch fish. "

"alas! Fishing net is your lifeblood and a tool for you to make a living. You can't use it as collateral for fishing. Tell me, how many cakes do you need? "

"It costs five dollars."

Abdullah, the bread seller, gave the fisherman five dollars of bread on credit and lent him another five dollars, saying, "Use these five dollars to buy something else." So you owe me ten dollars, and it's not too late to pay me back when you catch a fish. If there is no fish to catch, take the cake to eat. "

"Thank you, and God bless you." The fisherman thanked him, bought some food for the children with bread and money, and went home happily.

He saw his wife sitting in the room, comforting the crying child: "Don't cry, dad will buy you food right away." So he hurried to his wife, took the food to the children, and told her the process of fishing and that Abdullah, who sells bread, took care of himself. Hearing this, the wife cried and said:

"God is merciful."

The next day, the fisherman got up early in the morning and went fishing with his net.

He hurried to the seaside and cast a net to pray: "God! Bless me to catch more fish and keep the children from starving! Don't let me lose face in front of Abdullah who sells bread. " He prayed, then cast a net and repeated it over and over again. But he was busy until the evening, but he still didn't catch a fish. He was disappointed, full of sadness and depression, and thought to himself, "When I go home, I will pass by Abdullah who sells bread. How embarrassing! Go home. Where? You'd better hurry past Abdullah who sells bread before he sees me. "

But instead, as soon as he got to the oven, Abdullah, the bread seller, saw him and shouted, "Fisherman Abdullah, what's wrong with you? Didn't you catch any more fish? " Never mind, just take some bread and pocket money and return it to me at your convenience. "

The embarrassed fisherman Abdullah walked up to the bread seller Abdullah and said, "I didn't catch any fish today, so I'm embarrassed to see you."

"Don't worry, didn't I tell you to wait until you get lucky?" Abdullah, who sells bread, said that he would give him bread on credit and lend him five pieces of pocket money.

The fisherman is very grateful. He is very grateful to Abdullah, who sells bread. He went home with bread and money and told his wife where the bread and money came from. After hearing this, the wife thanked Abdullah, the bread seller, for his kindness to them and said, "God is merciful. If Allah is willing, he will give you a gift to pay off the money you owe Abdullah. "

Fishermen are full of hope and hard work. They go to the seaside to fish every day, but they find nothing. Forty days passed without catching any fish, and Abdullah, who sells bread, helped them live. Abdullah, a bread seller, never asked him for fish or forced him to pay his debts. He always gave him bread on credit and lent him pocket money calmly. Whenever the fisherman asked him to settle accounts, he always said:

"It's not time to check out. Wait until you are lucky. " The fisherman had to pray for him and ask God to bless him.

The fisherman was very disappointed.

On the forty-first day, he said angrily to his wife, "I'll stop fishing. I'll find another way out."

"Why is this?" The wife asked incredulously.

"It seems that my life can't be earned from the sea. I really don't know when this situation will last. Allah, in front of Abdullah who sells bread, I can't lift my head. Every day when I go fishing at the seaside, I have to pass by his stove, and there is no other way; When I pass his stove on my way home, he always gives me bread on credit and lends me pocket money. When will this day end? "

"Praise Allah! Thanks to him, Abdullah, who sells bread, pities you and enables you to make a living. What else can you complain about? " His wife disagrees with his idea.

"But I owe him more and more debts, and he will surely come to collect them."

"Did his words hurt you?"

"no! In fact, he doesn't want to pay the bill himself. He told me to wait until you were lucky. "

"In that case, it's nothing. If he asks you for a debt, you say to him,' I'll thank you when I'm lucky.' Isn't that enough? "

"But when will the good luck we expect come?"

"Don't worry, God is merciful." His wife comforted him.

"Yes, you are right." Fishermen have confidence.

Fishermen and male mermaids

Fisherman Abdullah came to the seaside with a full fishing net, cast a net and prayed silently: "God! Please have mercy, at least let me catch a fish and give it to Abdullah who sells bread. "

He waited for a while, then pulled the net. He just thought it was too heavy to pull. Not afraid of trouble, he pulled up the fishing net with all his strength. As soon as he saw it, there was a dead donkey lying in the net, which smelled bad after being swollen by blisters. Feeling sick and disappointed, he sighed, "Oh, I can't help it. I only hope that Allah, the Almighty God, can save him. " . At the beginning, I told my wife that the sea was not my place to make a living, and I didn't want to fish for a living, but she advised me that Allah was kind and he would give me a gift. Is this dead donkey a gift she said? "

He complained, threw away the dead donkey, cleaned the fishing net, moved to a farther place, re-cast the net, waited for a while, and then pulled the net. The fishing net is heavy and can't be pulled at all. He pulled the rope tightly, made all his strength, and his hands were bruised, and finally dragged the fishing net to the shore. But when he took a closer look, he was startled. The net hit a living person. He thinks that this man is the devil who was put in a bottle by Solomon the Great. After a long time, the bottle broke and the devil slipped out and fell into the net. Therefore, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. He hurriedly ran away, pleading as he ran:

"The devil of Solomon's time! Forgive me, forgive me. "

When fisherman Zhang panicked and ran for his life, he suddenly heard the man shout, "Hey! Fisherman, don't run. I'm human, too. Come and let me go, and I will repay you. "

He listened to the shouts, then stopped and went back to the seaside trembling. It turned out that he hit a male mermaid, not a demon. He was surprised and said to the man fish, "aren't you the devil?"

"No, I'm not the devil. I am also a person who believes in God. "

"So who got you into the water?"

"I grew up in the sea. I swam here just now, but I accidentally fell into your net. We live in the sea, obey Allah's orders, and are full of love for all kinds of life created by Allah. If I wasn't afraid of committing a crime, I would have torn your fishing net. I am a subject of Allah and obey the arrangement of Allah. If you let me go, you will be my master. For God's sake, would you like to see me released? Would you like to be bosom friends with me and exchange gifts here every day? If you give me a basket of land fruits such as grapes, figs, watermelons, peaches and pomegranates every day, I will repay you with the same basket of sea treasures such as corals, pearls, olivines, emeralds and rubies. I wonder if you agree with my suggestion? "

"Yes, I do. Now let's recite Fatihai and officially become bosom friends. " The fisherman agreed to make friends and put forward some ways to make friends.

The fisherman and the man fish chanted Fatihai respectively and became bosom friends. When he released the male mermaid from the net, the male mermaid said:

"May I have your name?"

"My name is Abdullah."

"Are you? Then you are Abdullah on land and I am Abdullah in the sea. We have the same name and are friends. Please wait for me here for a while, and I'll get you a gift. "

"I see, yes." The fisherman said happily.

The man jumped into the sea and soon disappeared.

The fisherman regretted letting him go and sighed, "how do I know if he will come to see me again?" What if he lied to me by saying nice things to escape? If you don't let him go, take him to the city for people to watch, take him to the big house for exhibition, and maybe make some money. " The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He blamed himself and said, "What a fool I am! I threw away everything I got. "

Just when he thought about it and regretted it, the male mermaid suddenly appeared. His hand was full of pearls, corals, emeralds, rubies and other precious treasures in the sea. He said to the fisherman, "Take it, my friend. Please don't take it amiss, because I don't have a laundry list, or I'll get it for you. In the future, we will meet here at dawn every day. "

After that, he said goodbye to the fisherman, jumped into the water and disappeared.

The fisherman went home happily with a rare gift from the male mermaid. He went straight to the front of the Abdullah stove selling bread and proudly told him:

"Brother, my luck is coming. Please pay for me. "

"Not busy! Not busy! If you catch a fish, give it to me; If you don't catch fish, you'd better take bread.

Eat and get pocket money until you are lucky. "

"Good friend, God bless me, I have been very lucky. I have always owed you credit, and now I give you this as a debt. Please accept it. "

As a reward, he gave some pearls, corals, rubies and other treasures to Abdullah, who sells bread, and then said, "Please lend me some pocket money today and pay you back when I sell the jewels."

Abdullah, who sells bread, gave all the money around him to the fisherman and said, "I will be your servant in the future, and I am willing to serve you well." Then put all the cakes away, put them in a laundry basket, and send them to the fisherman's house with a laundry basket on his head. He went to the market again, bought all kinds of delicious food, sent it to fishermen, and was busy cooking for them. He is busy serving fishermen's families all day.

"Dude, you are so tired." The fisherman is very grateful.

"You have infinite kindness to me, and I am willing to be your handmaiden. This is my duty. "

"You are my savior. You took care of me when I was desperate. I will never forget your kindness. " The fisherman sincerely thanked Abdullah. He sold bread, ate and drank with him, and kept him overnight, becoming his bosom friend.

That night, the fisherman told his wife what happened that day.

"The story of catching a man's fish and making friends with a man's fish," the wife told the fisherman, "you must keep all this secret from the government. Otherwise, they will arrest you on an excuse. "

"I will keep it a secret from anyone, but I can't help telling the truth about Abdullah who sold bread." He made his attitude clear to his wife.

Fishermen and jewelers

The next morning, the fisherman prepared a basket of fruits and hurried to the seaside, saying, "Abdullah in the sea, come out!" " "

"I'm coming." The male mermaid suddenly appeared in front of the fisherman.

The fisherman handed the fruit to the male mermaid.

The male mermaid jumped into the water with the fruit. Not long after, the male mermaid appeared in front of the fisherman again, carrying a basket full of pearls and jewels. After accepting the gift, the fisherman said goodbye to the mermaid, put a basket of jewels on his head and went home excitedly. On his way home, he passed by the toaster. Abdullah, who sells bread, smiled and said to him:

"Dear master! I baked forty sweet breads for you and sent them to your home. Now I am making a better cake for you. I'll send it to you when it's cooked, and then I'll buy you meat and vegetables. "

The fisherman is very grateful. He took out three pearls and jewels from the basket and gave them to him. Then he went home.

The fisherman came home, put down his basket, picked some of the most valuable ones from the jewelry pile and took them to the jewelry market. He found the jeweler's head and said to him, "Do you buy pearls and precious stones?"

"What kind of jewelry? Let me see. "

The fisherman showed him the pearls and jewels around him. After reading it, he asked, "Besides, do you have any other pearls and gems?"

"yes! I still have a whole basket. "

"Where do you live?"

The fisherman explained his address. The jeweler grasped his jewels tightly and told his entourage, "This is the bad guy who stole the Queen's jewels. Arrest him quickly. " Then the attendants beat the fisherman and tied him up. Then, the culprit announced to all jewelers, "We have caught the thief."

So businessmen talked about it one after another, and some said, "Zhang San's goods were stolen by this bad guy." Some said, "All the four Li families were stolen. He must have done it." They catch the wind and catch the shadows, and you say something and I say something, blaming all the theft on the fishermen. The fishermen, however, were silent and went to make false accusations without making any excuses.

After that, the merchants took him to the palace to be punished.

The jeweler leader claimed credit and said, "Your Majesty, after the Queen's jewels were stolen, we were informed and ordered to help catch the thief. We worked harder than anyone else and finally solved the case for your majesty and caught the thief. The thief has been taken to the palace, please make a ruling. This is the stolen goods found from him. "

He said, "Give me the fisherman's pearls and jewels.

The king took the jewels and gave them to the eunuch. He ordered, "Take them to the harem and let the queen have a look. See if these jewels were lost by her?"

The eunuch hastened to comply.

The queen took the pearls and jewels in her hand and looked at them carefully. She couldn't put it down. She said to the eunuch, "Go and tell your majesty that my jewels have been found. These jewels don't belong to me, but they are better inlaid than my batch. Please don't abuse the owner of these jewels. If he is willing to sell, please buy these jewels and set our princess with hairpin jewelry. "

The eunuch rushed to the king at the queen's command and repeated the queen's words. Hearing this, the king lost his temper and scolded the jeweler's leader and his colleagues for not wronged the good people. The jeweler was scolded and argued, "Your Majesty, we know that this man used to fish for a living. Where did he get so many jewels?" It must have been stolen "

"You snobs, don't you think civilians don't deserve wealth? Why don't you ask him where his jewelry came from? Maybe Allah gave it to him extra. How dare you call him a thief and insult him in public! You guys, get out of here! "

The fisherman and the king

The king drove away the jeweler and said kindly to the fisherman, "Fisherman, you have been rewarded by God. I sincerely bless you and am willing to protect your life and wealth. " Now you must tell me honestly, where did you get these jewels? Although I am a king, I have never seen such precious pearls and gems. "

"Your majesty, I have a basket full of pearls and precious stones like this at home. These jewels ... "The fisherman told the king the story of meeting the man fish and exchanging jewels one by one, and finally said," I agreed with the man fish that I would bring him a basket of fruit every day, and he would give me a basket of pearls and jewels in return. "

"This is your blessing, but if you have no reputation, you can't protect your wealth. I can protect your wealth from infringement, but in the future, maybe I will be dismissed, or die, and someone else will be king. At that time, you may die for wealth. So I want to recruit you as an attached horse, let you be the prime minister, and stipulate that you inherit the throne. In this way, even after my death, your life wealth will not be countered. "

When the king finished, he ordered his attendants: "Take him to the bath and try to take a bath."

The attendants took the fisherman to take a bath, scrubbed his body, dressed him in palace clothes, and then took him to the court to see the king. The king appointed him as prime minister, and sent many of his men to the fisherman's house to dress his wife and son in gorgeous clothes, so that the wife could sit in a sedan chair with her youngest son in her arms, crowding round and taking her family into the palace.

As soon as the fisherman's nine sons entered the palace, the king hugged them one by one and sat them beside him. Because the king has no son except the princess, he loves the fisherman's son very much In the harem, the queen also treated the fisherman's wife warmly, which made her feel extremely honored. They're like family. Soon, the king announced that the fisherman would be tied to a horse, ordered the judge and witness to marry the fisherman and the princess, and used the fisherman's jewelry as a dowry. At the same time, the city wall was decorated and a grand wedding was held.

Wang was relieved to recruit an attached horse.

At dawn the next day, the king woke up from his dream and looked out of the window. He saw the fisherman with a basket of fruit on his head and was about to go out. He hurried forward and asked, "Dear husband, what are you wearing on your head?" Where are you going? "

"I took the fruit to Abdullah in the sea and exchanged gifts with him."

"Xu Xian, now is not the time to find friends."

"I must keep my promise, or he will say that I broke my promise. I am not a liar, and I don't want to forget my old friends for fun. " The fisherman explained why he had to meet the mermaid.

"You're right, let's go and meet friends. May God bless you. " The king agreed to accompany his horse to find his friend.

The fisherman left the palace happily and went to the seaside.

On the way, I only heard people say, "This is Xu, who just married the princess. He traded fruit for jewels. Others thought he was selling fruit and stopped him and asked, "Hello! How much is a catty of fruit? Sell it to me! "He didn't want to upset people, so he had to deal with it casually.

"You wait for me to come back."

He went directly to the seaside to meet the mermaid and exchanged gifts.

Abdullah, who sells bread, was promoted to Prime Minister.

Although the fisherman became the king's son-in-law and prime minister, he still kept his promise and went to the seaside on time every day to meet the male mermaid and exchange gifts. Every day he passes by the oven selling bread, only to see the door locked and closed for ten days in a row. He felt very strange and thought, "Where did he go?"

He asked his neighbor, "Dude, do you know where Abdullah, who sells bread?" What happened? "

The neighbor said, "He is sick and lying at home."

"Where is his home?" The fisherman inquired about the address and then went to his house according to the neighbor's guide.

Abdullah, who sells bread, heard a knock at the door, looked out of the window and saw the fisherman standing in front of the door with a laundry list on his head. He ran downstairs and opened the door. He threw himself into the fisherman's arms and held him tightly.

"How are you? Friends. " The fisherman asked him, "I pass by your oven door every day and see that the door is always locked." I didn't know you were ill until I asked your neighbor about the situation, so I asked your address to visit you. "

"Your heart is very good. May God bless you. " Abdullah, who sells bread, expressed his gratitude. "In fact, I'm not sick. I just heard that someone made a rumor and framed you for stealing, and was arrested by the king. I was scared, so I turned off the oven and hid at home, afraid to go out. "

"There is such a thing." So the fisherman told the jeweler's false accusation and how he judged right and wrong in front of the king in detail from beginning to end. Then he said, "the king has recruited me as an attached horse and appointed me as prime minister." From now on, you don't have to be afraid. Today, I will give you this basket of jewels together. Please put it away. "

He comforted Abdullah, who sold bread, then took leave and returned to the palace with an empty basket.

"Dear husband, didn't you see your friend Abdullah in the sea today?" When the king came back with an empty basket, he was full of doubts.

"I saw him. I gave the jewelry he gave me to a friend who sells bread, because that friend once helped me in my most difficult time. "

"Who is that friend who sells bread?"

"He is an honest man. When I was starving to death, I relied on his credit to make a living. He has always been kind enough to comfort me and never left me out. "

"What's his name?"

"He is Abdullah who sells bread; My name is Abdullah on the land, and my friend who exchanged gifts with me is Abdullah in the sea. We are good friends of the same name. "

"My name is Abdullah, too." The king said, "What a coincidence! Therefore, all servants of Allah are brothers and sisters. Now find someone to invite Abdullah, who sells bread, to the palace so that I can appoint him as prime minister. "

Following the king's orders, the fisherman invited Abdullah, the bread seller, to the palace and accompanied him to see the king.

The king gave him a set of palace clothes, appointed him as the left prime minister, and declared the fisherman as the right prime minister.
