The strange window
One of the winter days and the sky was overcast with clouds, the fisherman came out of his house as usual, carrying a fishing net, heading to the sea , It started raining hard and the waves began to rage, like angry horses , crashing into everything, swallowing up everything before them like hungry flames.
It began to rise and intensify little by little, until the fisherman lost control of his boat and the boat was completely destroyed.
This hunter miraculously survived, until he reached a nearby town. He was feeling very tired. He found a small house that seemed to be worn out and deserted, but that was okay. He wanted any shelter to rest in for a little while, and as soon as he was about to enter that house, an old man stopped him and warned him not to enter. The old man took care of the fisherman in his house until he regained his strength again. He thanked the old man for this favor, but the mystery of the deserted house still haunted him, so he asked why he warned him against entering that house. The old man replied that this house has existed for hundreds of years and is known as the house of ghosts. No one had entered it for many years, so the hunter was astonished and asked: Why was it called by this name?
The old man replied: Hundreds of years ago, there was a mighty and unjust king who ruled this town. He was ordering his entourage to bring the young men and women of that town to work on excavation and construction work to build a huge fortress of gold for him underground in a very hot, barren desert area. He was forcing them to do By digging incessantly under the blazing sun and continuing tirelessly or boredom without food or water for many days, and whoever disobeys his command awaits severe punishment, many young men and women died from the oppression of this king, and many fathers and mothers tasted the bitterness of losing their children, this king had One daughter, whom he loves very much, lives a luxurious and pampered life, but this princess was not satisfied with what her father was doing, kind and affectionate, and sympathetic to the people of the town , And one day, while the beautiful princess was wandering on a leisure trip around the outskirts of town, guarded by the king's retinue, she turned away a little and got lost on the road, Until she found this house, perhaps she was curious to know what was inside, so she entered and from that moment no one found her trace ,The king went crazy about his daughter, so all the people of the town and the king's entourage went out to search again and again but to no avail, and He ordered his entourage to burn that damned house several times, but every time it burned it would return as it was, no one dared to enter that house, so everyone who entered did not leave it, and since that time it has been called a ghost house, so beware, my son, not to enter it or got close to it.
The hunter was astonished by the order of this house and thanked the old man again and left, curiosity almost killed him to discover the matter of the house, he was saying in himself that he is brave and will be stronger than any ghost he faces, he decided to adventure and discover this place that people have been obsessed with for hundreds of years, gather his strength and overwhelmed with faith in himself And his courage, he entered it.
At first everything was fine, only an old deserted house with worn-out furniture and old tools, and dust and cobwebs all around it, and insects, mice, and little snakes had taken refuge in them, and some books were written in incomprehensible old languages, with worn yellow pages that had The cobwebs tied her, and while discovering the house, he heard a voice calling from afar, heading right and left and from all sides, but there was no trace of anything, The voice began to get louder and it seemed that it was on the upper floor, he followed that trail, and the surprise was, a small child was crying and asking for help to get out of a locked dark room , The fisherman with all his might broke that damned door, but to no avail. The child told him that he could not open the door, but he might be able to get him out by the room's window. The fisherman tried to open the net again and again, but his attempts were unsuccessful, and suddenly a strong light shined from that window and the water started flowed so terribly from it that it swept away and swallowed the fisherman.
The fisherman did not realize what was around him from that moment, until the waves threw him to the beach , he opened his eyes and he saw what was around him in a somewhat blurry way, but soon everything around him became clear, he was more surprised by a green land full of trees and tall herbs, an island where there is no A human being, he only heard the chirping of birds and Trickling of the water, he was thirsty because the sea water was salty, he started walking among the trees and there was a coconut tree in it, he was very happy because he needed even one drop of water to wet his dry stomach.
He shook the tree a little until a large coconut fell. He was surprised that something shiny came out of it. He came a little closer and had a diamond necklace that shines in bright colors, and as soon as he touched this necklace, he heard a human voice coming from afar calling him “man, man” , follow the traces of the voice, but what From someone on this island, he looked around, but he noticed the presence of a bright-colored fish close to the beach , so he approached her, and the sound of the call was louder, and he was surprised that it was a talking fish, then she said: Do not be afraid, man, you seem to be a brave man, but oh what’s the bad luck that you have led you to this island !! , do you know that you are now a prisoner of this unjust island like me.
He wondered: What brought you to this island? And why are you imprisoned in it??
She said: I was a princess in a kingdom far away from here, and after a long story, fate led me to this island, I met an old man who seemed to me to be a good man, but it was the opposite, he had a terrible strength, he tried to turn me into a snake in order to be one of his helpers , As he turned many people before me, I tried to escape and he started chasing me until I reached the beach, I tried to swim and escape as soon as I threw myself into the sea until I turned into a fish as you see me, I became a prisoner of this sea and this island , and I can not return as I was except only with a magical mixture that only possesses This bad old man.
The hunter was sad about what he heard and said to her: How can I help you??
She said sadly: If you bring me this mixture, I will get out of this prison and will return as I was inevitably, but the matter is not that simple, the old man possesses terrible strength and many soldiers, the way to his castle is difficult and full of obstacles, there is a strong cunning snake, a dragon with tremendous firepower, and an octopus He has more than a thousand legs, he will definitely catch you, so he said to her: No, I will do everything in my power to bring this mixture, and before he went, she gave him a sturdy stick and said: Perhaps this stick will help you a little and described the way for him.
The hunter took the stick, and headed on his way , The road was very long, and difficult to navigate because of the density of trees and herbs and their high length, until he reached a cave that seemed to be very dark, but it seemed that there was no entrance to it , The hunter looked carefully and began to search, and he saw a small door hardly He managed to enter it, the hunter walked inside this dark cave, he heard a low voice as if a large snake came from afar, he continued walking until he found a red light filling the cave, it was the eyes of this scary snake, he turned back and saw small snakes heading towards him and trying to restrain him. He removed it with all his strength, and as soon as he got rid of it until the big snake appeared to him, the red rays that came out of his eyes were restricting the hunter, so the hunter knew with his intelligence that the strength of this snake is represented in his eyes, so the hunter took out his stick and before the snake tried to devour it, he tore the snake's eyes With the stick, the snake's powers quickly weakened and little by little withdrew from the area.
The hunter continued his way after a long fight, until he reached a place full of red mountains, he felt the scorching heat in the place and the sweat started to fall from him little by little, he got a little closer and behold a giant dragon in the place, the dragon was very strong, coming out of his mouth a burning fire that swallows everything in it On its way, the dragon noticed the presence of the hunter and quickly fired around the hunter and surrounded him with it, the hunter was astonished by his strength, and became confused about what to do, and as soon as the dragon approached, the stick became pumped with water like a flowing river, the fire was extinguished, and as soon as the dragon saw it, it aroused He was afraid and immediately withdrew.
Finally the fisherman reached the castle of the evil old man, and as soon as he entered the castle he heard the sound of laughter coming from afar, until he reached him. The old man said: Welcome to my island, what a brave man, it was not the fate of any human being to enter my island, but his fate was annihilation or become one of my soldiers, I admire your courage, and I am sure you met a fish before going down this long road, right?? It is a deceitful fish, and it is one of my soldiers. It deceives everyone who enters this island into fighting those bitter battles, so his fate will be annihilation, so you won with your courage over these battles. So you will be the owner of this island after me, enter this room to take a rest, and I will meet you again, the fisherman stopped him and asked him: A moment but who are you??
The old man replied with a smile: I am the most valuable thing that the earth has lost since time immemorial, and the most sublime thing that humanity and existence have known, and the most that the oppressors deny and kill, I am justice, I know that you did not understand what I mean, but you will realize that later.
The hunter did not understand what this old man meant, but wanted to deceive him, so he showed him that he was convinced of his words, so as not to prevent him from escaping and not to doubt him. The hunter entered the room, and as soon as he tried to escape, the iron bars were surrounded all over the room , The old man laughed and said to him: Do you think I am an idiot, you will remain in this prison forever .
The hunter felt let down and despair, but soon he caught his eye a mouse eating foul-smelling weed, and as soon as this mouse ate the herb, he lost his strength and became unable to move.
The hunter grabbed the stick, and the length of this magic wand was getting bigger and bigger, he put a little of this herb on the stick and tried with everything he could to reach the food dish and put the herb inside it, the old man ate the food, his strength became weak and he was no longer able to move, so the hunter quickly took the prison key from him With the stick, and began to search for the mixture before the wicked old man woke up, and he found it, and they ran away quickly, but he heard the old man's call, saying to him as he took his last breath: I tried to help the oppressed and take their right all those long years that have passed and did everything in my power so that justice would be the master of existence in all A time and place I took the right of all the boys who died unjustly and forcibly from the father of this princess and made him taste the bitterness of losing children that he tasted to others and now I will die but justice will remain alive forever but is formed by certain souls and people and moves through them through time until it is achieved and you are one of these people You are justice after me And certainly you will be qualified for this task. A terrible force came out of this old man and engulfed the fisherman’s body. It is the power of truth and justice. The fisherman fled from the place until he reached near the shore, and asked the fish to swim quickly, so he threw himself into the sea until he was swimming with all his strength and speed in the sea, he and the fish, until they passed the stage of danger , and finally the fisherman saw a ship coming from afar, faster by giving the fish the magic mixture, soon she turned into a beautiful princess as before, The fisherman and the princess pointed with their hands to the lifeboat.
Thus the fisherman and the princess escaped from this frightening and strange island. The king met his daughter, he was very happy to meet her after a long period of her absence, and he regretted what he had done, so he decided to reward the brave fisherman by marrying him the princess.
Since then, justice has pervaded the town after the hunter became king over it. There is no oppressed or needy person except that he took his right, his victory and his help, and he was called the master of justice at the time when he moved to it through the strange window of the house, and he bequeathed that task to his children and grandchildren.
