In ancient times there was a king having three daughters. One day he asked them: "Does cover hold lining or lining hold cover?" The oldest daughter and the middle daughter both said that the cover held the lining. But the youngest daughter said that the lining held the cover. The king got furious of the answer of the little daughter and faced the minister and wanted him to order to announce in the city that all the beautiful young men in the city to come to the palace. Then the king said the first and second daughters of him: "Throw bergamots toward each one of these young men you like." In this manner they selected their husbands and after big wedding celebrations they went to their luck homes.
After a while, the king ordered to announce that every blind or bald or lame person in the city to become present in the palace. All the blind or bald or lame persons came to the palace. The king wanted her daughter to throw an apple or a pomegranate or a bergamot toward one of them she liked. The daughter began to watch them without any reaction.
The king ordered to investigate if a blind or bald or lame person had been neglected to become present there. The officers of the king searched every corner of the city and found a lazy and ineffectual boy named as Hasani in the home of an old woman who was sitting in a basket in the oven of the house. They brought him to the king. The king ordered her daughter to marry him and sent her to the home of that old woman.
The girl did not show any displeasure. Using her skill and effort, little by little she obliged the boy to walk and do something. Gradually the boy became very smart and his work was upgraded. This was the case until when he became servant of a merchant and accompanied him and some other businessmen in a travel. They went until they reached a desert having no water or any village or any inhabitant. There was a well in that desert that if a person went into it to bring water, he/she would not go up again. They cast lots between themselves to determine who should go into the well. The name of Hasani was drawn. At last, hasani took a written promise from his master that after he returned back from the well he must give him half of his merchandise. The Hasani went into the well until he reached the bottom of the well. There, he saw a throne on which a demon had sat. At once he said hello. The demon said: "If you did not say hello, your cheek would be the first morsel of me." Then he asked: "Where is a pleasant place?" Hasani answered: "That place in which the heart is glad." The demon liked his answer so much and gave him a few pomegranates. Hasani took water from the well and sent it upwards and then came out of the well health, and so made himself the owner of the half of the merchandise of his master.
When Hasani had come out of the well, he gave two of the pomegranates to a messenger to take them to his mother and his wife. The messenger took the pomegranates to the home of Hasani and gave them to the daughter of the king. The girl broke one of the pomegranates and noticed that it was full of ruby beads. Without any delay, she sold them and bought a land and wanted the architect to build there for her a palace bigger and more wonderful than the palace of the king. The architect gathered workers and began the work at once.
But now hear from Hasani. The merchants got going and went and went until they reached the same city where was their destination. They arrived at an inn. When it was night, the merchants went looking for fun, but Hasani slept on his loads. The owner of the inn had hidden forty thieves in the cellar to steal the property of the merchants who came there. At the midnight, Hasani heard some noises. He opened his eyes and saw that a window was opened in the ground of the inn and forty thieves came out of it and took all the properties of the merchants to the cellar.
In the next morning, the merchants noticed that their properties had been thieved. All of them went and took their complaint to the ruler. Some days elapsed and the merchants' properties were not found. Hasani said the merchants: "I can find your propertied provided that you gine me a written promise that I will become the businessman of you and in addition you will give me one tenth of those properties." The merchants accepted his offer.
Hasdani went to the ruler and said him: "I can find the properties of the merchants provided that you give me one day of your government." The ruler too accepted his offer. Hasani, worn in the clothes of the ruler, went to the inn and took out the properties of the merchants from the cellar. By this act, the wealth of Hasani became larger than the wealth of all the other merchants.
In order to build somewhere in his city to hold his properties, Hasani returned back to his home. There, he noticed that the girl had built a wonderful and big palace. He was very happy. The girl said her: "When you will come back, go to visit the king, and be the first person to invite the king to this palace." Hasani agreed and return back to bring his new properties.
After a while, Hasani invited the king to his palace. He embellished the girl of the palace completely. When the king arrived there, he saw what a wonderful palace was there and what a big banquet the merchant had prepared. He said himself loudly: "I wish that merchant had been my son in law." As the girl heard this statement, came out from the behind of the curtain and the king understood that the merchant's wife was the daughter of himself. The king got happy and embraced his daughter and kissed her and wanted her to return back to the king's palace and again go to the merchant's home with dignity and respect and during a big wedding celebration.
After elapsing a duration, one day the daughter said the king: "Did you understand that I was right in saying that lining holds cover? It was me that could lead that bald and awkward boy to such a position." The king kissed his daughter and also gifted some villages completely.
