Yes, I know this story but it is always a joy to reread it. Especialy when it comes from another source aka translation. Your rendition is both entertaining and suspenseful, making it a true delight to read! However, I forgot a lot anyway, and I've still managed to learn a great deal from your version. For example, I had no idea that Daoud was actually King David. One Thousand and One Nights are complex and probably every time you read it you learn something new or you understand it differently. It was huuuh, 15 years since I read it last time and now some stories have totally different meanings to me. So, thank you for these passages, they are a real treat and nostalgia at the same time.
