The master tailor and his assistances are making clothes for the prince. Labakan, the most gifted of his assistances, craves to be a Sovereign's heir. He steals the princely garments. Labakan poses as the Sultan's son. The Sultan trusts him but the prince's mother recognizes his son. The Sultan organizes a tailoring contest between the two pretenders. Labakan wins and this gives away his identity. However, in order to be sure, the Sultan orders them to choose between two boxes. One is inscribed with "Honor and Courage" and the other with "Happiness and Wealth". Labakan chooses the latter. He finds a needle and a pair of scissors inside... At this moment, Labakan awakes from his dream. Written by Georgi Djulgerov See less
