Hey friends, one evening in **Baghdad**, a poor fisherman was trying to catch fish

in the **River Tigris**.

Since morning, he hadn’t

caught many fish, so while working hard the whole day, evening had arrived.

He was just about

to give up out of exhaustion when he decided to try one last time.

He cast his big net into the water, hoping that he might catch something big.

And something like that actually happened.

Finally, a very big and heavy fish got caught in his net.

A big smile appeared on his face.

*At least I caught something big,* he thought.

He started pulling his net up with all his strength.

As he kept pulling

the net out of the water, he began to sweat because it was really very heavy.

He felt that perhaps he had caught the biggest fish of his life today.

But as soon as he pulled the entire net up,

he didn’t find a fish — instead, he found a **chest**.

It was a large **iron chest**, golden in color.

The fisherman realized at a glance that it was a **treasure

chest**, very old, and it might contain many diamonds and jewels.

He immediately started trying to open the chest.

But he noticed that it had a very large seal on it, and he didn’t

have the tools to open it.

Finally, he decided that he would take this chest

to his **Caliph king**, because he knew that **Caliph Harun

al-Rashid** was a very noble and justice-loving

ruler who helped the poor and always wished well for his people.

So he thought that if he took this treasure to him, the Caliph would surely

give him a good share of it, and this way he wouldn’t get into any trouble either.

With this thought in mind, he somehow carried the chest and

reached the king’s palace.

When he told the guards outside the whole story, they allowed him to go inside.

Now a large chest had been brought before the king, and the

fisherman explained how he had found it in the river that very day.

The king then ordered his soldiers to open the chest.

It took some time, but somehow they finally managed to open the chest.

But as soon as it opened, everyone’s eyes widened in shock.

A deep silence spread across the royal palace, because inside the chest

there was no treasure — instead, there was the **dead body of a woman**.

She was a young and very beautiful woman.

As soon as people saw this, whispers began to spread throughout the palace.

*How could something like this happen in the kingdom of Harun al-Rashid?* 😮

Someone had killed this beautiful woman, and the king didn’t even know about it.

Hearing all these whispers made the king extremely angry.

He also thought,

*How could something like this happen right under my nose while I am the ruler?

Someone has taken this woman’s life and I didn’t even know about it.* He became

furious and immediately called his vizier, **Ja’far

ibn Yahya**, and ordered him to find out how this woman had been murdered.

“Find out the truth about this within three days.

If you fail to do so, you will be executed instead.” Now Ja’far had

no clue who this woman was or how he would discover what had happened to her.

But one thing he knew for sure—once the king had

given his word, he would definitely carry it out.

Because of this, Ja’far became extremely worried and frightened.

From that very day, he started the investigation.

He questioned the fisherman.

He went to villages, markets, and different places across the

kingdom, asking people and trying to gather information from everyone.

Slowly, he realized that the mystery was not moving forward at all.

No one knew anything about that woman.

The news had spread throughout

the entire kingdom that if the killer was not found, Ja’far would not survive.

One day passed, then another, and finally the **third day** arrived.

Ja’far had also accepted the fact that perhaps he would not survive now.

But just when hopelessness had reached

its peak, two men came running there — a **young merchant** and an **old man**.

Both of them shouted, “Do not punish Ja’far.

**We committed this murder.**” The young man said, “I killed her first.” But then

the old man said, “No, **I am the one who killed her.**” 😮 Everyone there

was confused.

But then the young

man calmed down and said, “This old man is none other than my father.

He is only saying this to save me.” Then the Caliph asked the

young man, “Alright, tell us what actually happened.” So the story began.

The young man explained how he had fallen in love with a very beautiful woman.

After that, they got married, and within a short time they also had a child.

But after a few years, his wife’s health became very bad.

She was getting weaker day by day.

Even after trying many medicines and remedies, nothing seemed to work.

Then one day his wife said to him, “I have heard about an apple

tree far away in **Basra**.

It is said to be a magical tree whose apples are not red, but golden.” 🍏

It was said that if someone ate those **golden apples**, even very serious

illnesses could be cured.

She asked him, “Can you bring one of those apples for me?” The young man loved

his wife deeply, so without thinking twice he said, “Yes, I will definitely

bring one for you.” But the journey to **Basra** was very difficult.

It required a lot of money, and even finding that apple tree was

a huge challenge in itself.

But because he loved her so much, he decided to go on the journey.

He gathered all the money he had.

After facing many difficulties for several

days—enduring hunger, thirst, and crossing the desert—he finally found that tree.

And on that tree, there were only **three apples** hanging.

He bought all three of those apples

by paying a lot of money, and then he happily returned home.

After reaching home, he gave the apples to his wife.

She was very happy to see them.

She took one bite from an apple, and as soon as she ate it, she started feeling

a little better.

She then carefully kept the remaining apples safely in the house.

At home, besides his wife, he also had a son whom he loved very much.

The next day, the man left for work.

After finishing his work,

when he was returning home, he saw something that shocked him.

He noticed a

tall, handsome slave who had **that same apple** with him—the golden apple.

The moment he saw it, he recognized it immediately.

It was the very same apple that he had brought home.

He immediately ran up to the slave and asked, “Where did you get this apple

from?” The slave

smiled and said something that completely shook the young merchant.

He said, “My beloved

gave this apple to me.” Hearing this, the young merchant was stunned.

The color drained from his face.

His voice stopped coming out of his mouth.

The slave walked away, but the young man remained

standing there, stunned, wondering how this could be possible.

*This can’t be right.* After that,

the young man did something that became the **biggest mistake of his life**.

It’s the same mistake that **99% of people make many times in their

lives**, and this mistake is related to **mindset**.

Now, let’s come back to the story.

As soon as the merchant heard the slave say that the apple was given

to him by his beloved, **assumptions started running through his mind**.

He began to think that maybe his wife had **deliberately sent him on that

long journey** so that she could do something wrong while he was away.

“She has betrayed me.

I gave everything for her, but she didn’t value me at all.” Thoughts

like these kept running through his mind again and again.

He immediately rushed home, and after

reaching there he saw something that increased his suspicion even more.

He noticed that out of the **three apples**, only **two were left there**.

One apple had already been slightly eaten by her, and another one was still there,

but the **third apple was missing**.

He angrily asked his wife,

“Why did you betray me?” and started accusing her of many things.

His wife couldn’t understand what was happening.

She kept denying everything, saying that she had done nothing wrong.

She was confused, but by that time the man’s

**suspicion had already turned into belief**.

He became so angry thinking that she had not cared about him at all.

He had put his life, money, and everything

into that journey for her, yet she didn’t value it even a little.

While all this

arguing was going on, their child started crying and ran outside the house.

Blinded by anger,

the man then went to his wife and **strangled her in a fit of rage**.

😔 He was so blinded by anger that he didn’t realize what he was doing.

His wife

was already very weak, and right there her breath stopped—she didn’t survive.

As soon as he realized that his wife was no longer alive, he panicked again.

Sweat started pouring

down his face, and he couldn’t understand how all of this had happened.

His love had made him blind.

Now he couldn’t accept what had happened.

So what did he do?

He took her body, somehow placed it inside a chest, and before anyone else

could find out, he went to the river and threw that chest into the water.

After doing all this, when he returned home, he saw that his child was crying.

He asked his child, “Why are you crying?” Then the

child revealed something very important.

He said, “Father, please forgive me.

Ever since you brought those apples, I

really wanted to play with one and show it to my friends.

That’s why I secretly took one apple and went outside

to show it to my friend.” Just then, a thief came there.
