Not all stories deserve happy endings but Hassan's does. I'm happy the whole family is reconciled and back together, thanks to the tenancity of Chamseddine to see his youthful fantasies come to life.
Back to the former story that led to Hassan's story, I don't think justice was served in this case. But correct me if I'm wrong.
he not only bestowed on his vizier Jia'far the pardon of the negro Rihan, but also he befriended the young man who was the husband of the woman cut off in the story of the Three Apples, and, to console him for the loss of his unjustly sacrificed wife, he gave him one of the prettiest virgins as a concubine,
I'm not against pardoning the negro, that's alright. But giving the husband of the dismembered wife a pretty virgin doesn't feel right. The man out of anger, jealousy and misunderstanding, killed his wife believing she carelessly gave away the apples he gifted her. This means the husband has anger issues, impatient and is unable to control himself. Befriending and giving him a lovely woman is as good as saying what he did is acceptable. What if he kills his virgin concubine again out of jealousy? 🤔
I'm looking forward to the next story. Thank you for the translations.
