The Arabian Nights: The Fisherman and the Genie

This story is about a poor fisherman who has to sustain his family on the fish that he catches. One day, he throws out his nets and catches a lamp. After rubbing it clean, a genie emerges from within the lamp.  However, this spirit does not offer the fisherman any wishes, but tells the fisherman that he is going to kill him. By means of deceit, the fisherman traps the genie once again in his prison. After much arguing, the genie promised to make the fisherman wealthy. The genie showed the fisherman a pool with the richest fish in the world. But as the fisherman later discovered, it was much more than that.
