“What’s this?” said Imani, in surprise. “I didn’t ask for anything.”

However, she took the casket and showed it to the old holy man who tried his best to open it. Then he handed it back to the princess, and at her touch, the lid sprang open immediately. Inside lay the fan. Imani took it out and began to fan herself with it.

After three strokes, a figure appeared out of nowhere—King Subbar Khan of Dur!

“And who may you be, sir?” asked the old man.

“King Subbar Khan of Dur,” the king replied. “The princess has summoned me.”

“I haven’t summoned you,” cried Imani. “I’ve never seen you before in my life.”

The king explained how the messenger had come to buy patience, and how the king had given him the casket and fan.

“The fan has magical powers,” he explained. “With three strokes, you can summon me. Then, with three taps on the table, you can send me home again.”

Princess Imani wanted to send the king home there and then, but the holy man was delighted to have such a guest, especially one who was good at chess. The king and Imani had lots of long talks, and they both learned a great deal from each other. Imani found herself summoning the king more and more often, until eventually she gave him his own room in their house.
