asked the local people about the pair. ‘’Who are they?’’ he asked.
‘’Where do they live?’’, ‘’That’s Father Thomas and his servant,
Emmeline’’, they told him. ‘’They live in the big house next to the
mosque’’. He serenaded her at night with the guitar but

most beautiful gardens in the world a paradise like the Magic
Garden of Irem. I protected it with a spell and it’s invisible to

entrance, the astrologer pointed to a mysterious hand and key on
the wall. ‘’They’ll guard the entrance to this paradise until the
hand takes the key from its place’’. Now, I must have my
promised reward! shouted the astrologer. ‘’ The princess is the
first living creature to enter the garden! She mine now. No!
shouted the king. Take her white horse! Take all my treasures
instead.
