Each new incident brought in new wonders for Hatim! Instead of being drowned in the water, he was walking upon a marvellous garden. A boy, who was supposed to be drowned, was enjoying the fairyland! Yet, amidst all the mysteries and their temptations, Hatim never forgot his duty. He went to the young boy and told him how his parents were suffering while he was enjoying. The boy was moved and said, “That evening, I was sitting on the wall of the well when I saw the fairy. I was so enamoured by her that I thought of nothing and jumped into the well. I am deeply in love with her and cannot live without her, nor can I see my parents grieving.” Hatim asked the boy to come with him and meet his parents, and in return, he would plead his case in front of the fairy and find a solution.
