This is the first top level tale told by Shahrazad herself in The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night. A welathy merchant, resting along his journey, eats some dates and throws away the stones. A fearsome jinni appears in a rage, saying that one of the date stones struck and killed the jinni's son. Although the merchant protests that he didn't do it on purpose, the jinni is intent on killing him. Finally the merchant swears to return to this place in one year, if he can have that time to set his affairs in order and say goodbye to his loved ones.
