Ramadan Kareem.
We continue our tale for this year, the Tale of Fatima, Halima and Karima
But first, refresh your memory on what happened in last night’s episode.
Now, let’s gather around Scheherazade to listen to the third episode of our tale—or, to be precise, the 675th episode of the beloved radio show.
Episode 3: The Curious Case of Palacy Neighbour
When it was the seventy-fifth night after the six-hundredth, King Shahryar took his place as he did the night before, and Scheherazade began her tale as per their custom. She spoke:
“It is said, O wise and gracious King, that when Murjan the servant left the enchanted garden, he hurried directly to the royal court. There, he approached King Safwan, accompanied by the vizier and the prince, and recounted every detail of what he had witnessed. He described the magnificent beauty of the lady of the palace, their mysterious exchange, and handed over the golden basket containing the three clusters of grapes. The sight of the grapes stirred great astonishment among the three men.
