Crow Bird by Alexas Fotos (2018)
Fear (cont.): The boy told them that he was the one. They praised him and give him the offer to stay with them forever in a cave a riches, but he couldn't rest with his quest unfinished. He them came across a crowd of people mourning the loss of their Shah, and awaiting the choosing of the next. Of course the boy was chosen. He wanted to leave, but the Sultana was determined. She tried to scare him with the threaten of death, but it turned out to be a live bird in soup that scared him. So he was to be wed, and brought his mother to the palace where they loved happily.
The Wizard-Dervish: One day a sonless king came across a holy man. The king made a deal where if he at half an apple and his wife the other half, they would have a son (but had to give him up when he turned 20). The boy grew up and when he was to be married, he was taken away by the holy man and dropped off at a river where he met the man's daughter (as a dove). She told him that her dad was going to hang and beat him. He continued to beat him until one day when the daughter came back to warn him of the next challenge of choosing a dove. Just as he was told, he chose the daughter to marry (without her mom's consent).
The Wizard-Dervish (cont.): The girl and boy were walking when she turned him into a garden and she into a gardener to hide from her mother. Then she turned them into an oven and baker, to avoid mom again. But this time the mom saw then change back and chased after them, until they were turned into a pod and a duck. The mom looked for them and with no luck, walked away. They then came across the city that he was from, and let the girl in an inn, while the holy man found the boy and dropped him back off at the palace. The girl, thinking she was abandoned, turned back into a dove to scold the boy. He then fetched he from the inn and took her to the palace too when he realized it wasn't all a dream. The original bride was sick of waiting and left, so he married the girl.
The Fish-Peri: When a fisherman died, he told his wife that the kids were never to know that their father was a fisherman. As the son got older, and the mother died, he was trying to find something in his house to sell because he was poor. He found his father's old gear and after successfully catching fish, he sold and ate some...deciding to become a fisherman as well. One day he caught a fish so fine that he built a well to house it instead of selling or eating it. Once he came home the next day everything in his house was clean. He thought it was his neighbors, but he wasn't sure after it happened a few times. With the advice from his friend, he faked leaving for work the next day and saw that the fish turned into a beautiful girl. So the guy decided to throw the fish skin into a fire to free the girl. So they then were to be married, but when word spread that she was so pretty, the king decided he wanted her instead. The king told the boy if he couldn't build him a gold palace under the sea in 40 days, then the bride would be his. Hearing this, the girl told the boy to go back to where he caught her and cast a stone into it, and wish for a cushion to cast into the sea from an Arab.
The Fish-Peri (cont.): The next day, a palace was in the place of the cushion in the sea. But now the king demanded a crystal bridge. So yet again the girl told the boy to do the same thing, but get a bolster instead of cushion. of course the bridge was built, but the king had one more request. He wanted a feast for all the townsfolk and food left over. So, this time he was to get a coffee mill, but was not supposed to turn it. Bu accident, he did and some plates of food fell out. The next day, the feast took place just like the king wanted. Then the king wanted a mule from an egg, so again the boy did this. Finally the king wanted a day old infant who could talk and walk. So he was given the Arab's son, and he took him to the king. The kid hit the king so many times that all he wanted was for them to leave. So they did and the boy happily married the girl.
The Crow-Peri: When a boy's father died, the boy was left all alone in the world. He didn't know his father's occupation until he came across a bird trap. He used it himself, and when he caught a bird it begged him to let him free in exchange for a much more beautiful bird. So he let the bird go and caught a new bird so pretty, that the king bought it and gave the boy a ton of gold. The king's jealous assistant decided to force the boy to get ivory for the bird to stand on, or the king would have his head. The boy didn't know what to do, until a crow approached him and told him to make the elephants drunk with wine and then cut off their ivory. They boy did this, but the bird wouldn't sing for the king. So the assistant suggested to have the boy find the owner.
The Crow-Peri (cont.): The crow gave the boy advice yet again, telling him to get a ship for 40 maidens and a bath. So he did this, and the bird told him where to sail it. When he arrived to the destination, he was to only let the queen (owner of the bird) on board before sailing back. He did just this, and when she arrived, the bird indeed sang. Not to mention, the king and queen fell in love and married. Unfortunately, the queen fell ill and needed medicine from her palace that was guarded by lions. he crow gave the boy advice on how to tame them. He did this and was able to revive the queen. However, the queen saw the crow and realized that it was one of her old servants. She saw that the servant still loved her and turned her back into a girl. She married the boy and the assistant was fired, while the boy was given a royal position.
