In the scorching heat of the Arabian desert, a shimmering lake lay hidden, surrounded by towering palm trees and exotic flowers. A place of tranquility and peace, it was the perfect escape for weary travelers.
One such traveler was a young and handsome merchant named Karim. He had been traveling for weeks, his camel laden with precious spices and silks. As he approached the lake, he couldn’t believe his eyes. The water was cool and inviting, and he couldn’t resist the urge to take a dip.
As he swam in the refreshing water, he noticed a woman sitting on the shore. She was dressed in a flowing robe, her dark hair cascading down her back. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, with full lips and almond-shaped eyes.
Karim swam over to her, his heart pounding in his chest. “Greetings, my lady,” he said, trying to hide his nervousness. “I couldn’t help but notice your beauty. May I join you on the shore?”
The woman looked at him with a coy smile. “Of course, my lord. I was beginning to think I was alone in this desolate place.”
