Small Sun

I'm fairly certain that "Small Sun" is a type of Arabic "cautionary tale". When this man stumbles home in the dark of night, drunk, and comes across a djinn whom promises him gold, the man releases the djinn before collecting his money. Upon returning home safely to his wife, despite being completely obliterated, the man tell this story to his wife. They greedily lay in bed fantasizing about everything that they will purchase with the gold once the husband has caught the djinn again. Rather than waiting for day light, or just being happy to have arrived home unharmed, the husband stumbles back out into the night to look for the djinn again in order to collect the gold. In his greedy mind the money is the only thing that matters at this moment. The man runs into another drunkard who attacks him with a razor. As he lays on the ground bleeding to death, he hears the djinn talking about all the gold he would have gotten. The main theme here is simply. Greed is evil and will only bring about very bad things. Be happy for what you have and don't push your luck!
