After the light struck Zainab, she seemed fine—only a slight headache troubled her. But when she returned to her tribe, her behavior began to change.
She grew cruel. The innocent were punished while the guilty were spared. Anyone who asked for help was thrown into the dungeon. People were shocked: "What has happened to Zainab?"
The vizier suspected something was wrong. When he questioned her, Zainab refused to even recognize her own people. It became clear—her memory was lost, and a dark sorcerer's negative energy had taken hold of her.
A fortune teller was summoned. He revealed:
"The cure lies on Zarger Mountain. At its peak grows a magical tree bearing a diamond fruit. If Zainab drinks its juice, she will be healed. But beware—the mountain belongs to King Kong. He allows no one to take the fruit without a trial. Fail, and he devours you alive."
Fear spread through the tribe. None dared to go. But one young man, Abid, stepped forward.
After a long journey, Abid reached Zarger Mountain. The furious King Kong roared:
"Why are you here?"
Abid pleaded:
"I need the diamond fruit to save my queen."
The beast growled:
"You cannot have it so easily. First, pass my trial. I am unwell and cannot leave this place. Bring me a rare herb from the jungle. Only then will I grant you the fruit."
Abid accepted. The jungle was full of dangers. A hyena attacked, but Abid struck it down with his sword. Deeper inside, he found an old man, starving and lost. Abid gave him food and guided him. Grateful, the old man gifted him a magical carpet.
Riding the carpet, Abid found the herb and returned it to King Kong. The giant was pleased and rewarded him with the diamond fruit.
When Abid returned, Zainab's cruelty had grown worse. Quickly, they mixed the fruit's juice into her drink. Moments later, she was cured.
Confused, she asked:
"What happened to me?"
The vizier told her everything. Zainab, grateful, rewarded Abid with great honor and treasures.
