Summary of the Story:

Long time ago in Persia lived a rich Sultan Omar and his lovely daughter, the Princess Nurina, who was the apple of eye of her father. Nurina is so beautiful that is why many neighbouring Kingdoms sought her hand in marriage, but she refused them all. Because they spend their time in idleness, eating, drinking and courting her favours. Nurina wanted a man, who had courage and skill, not a court flatterer who was a coward at heart. Her father, the Sultan understood and shared her feelings, one day, the Prince named Ahmed from a far off land, lost his way while out hunting and come to the Sultan’s palace for rest and refreshment. Prince Ahmed learned about Princess Nurina and her loveliness and he wanted to meet her, but forbidden him because he had to prove a man of strength and determination and a man of worthy for the Princess. Prince Ahmed begged but the Sultan still and firm in his decision. Then Prince Ahmed remembered how many years ago at his father’s court he had talked with aged soothsayer who had told him a strange things “In the years to come you will seek a beautiful bride, but to win her you must first find true things. You will need a magic telescope which can see everything, even through walls, a magic carpet to fly you wherever you wish and magic bow and an arrow will never fail your target.” The Prince asked the soothsayer where he will find such things. The soothsayer told him the place where he found the three things and Prince Ahmed went every remote place where he found three things.
