There was once, in the
2
country of Alifbay,
a sad city, the saddest of
cities, a city so ruinously
sad,
that it had forgotten
its name.
In the north of the sad city
2.1
stood mighty factories
in which (so I‘m told) sadness
was actually manufactured,
packaged
and sent all over the world,
which never seemed to get
enough of it.
3
Black smoke poured out
of the chimneys of the
sadness factories...
and hung over the city
3
like
bad news.
And In the dephts
4
of the city beyond
an old zone of
ruined buildings...
... that looked like
broken hearts ...
There lived
a happy
young
fellow by
the name
of Haroun.
The only child ...
of the storyteller
Rashid Khalifa,
whose
cheerfulness was
famous
throughout that
unhappy
metropolis ...
...and whose never
ending stream of
tall, short and
winding tales
had earned him
not one but two
nicknames.
To his admirers
Rashid was the
Ocean of
Notions
the
Ocean
of
Notions
but to
his
jealous
rivals
he was
the Shah of Blah.
Rashid

Sorayah
To his wife
Sorayah
Rashid was
for many
years as
loving a
husband as
anyone
could wish
for,
and during these5years Haroun
grew up in a home in which,
instead of misery and
frowns, he had his father‘s
ready laughter
and his
mother‘s
sweet voice
raised in
song.
Then something
went wrong.
Soraya
stopped
singing in the
middle of a
line, as if
someone had
thrown a
switch.
Rashid Khalifa was so busy
making up and telling stories
he didn‘t notice.
But then Rashid
was a busy man,
in constant demand,
he was the Ocean of
Notions, the famous
Shah of Blah.
Haroun often
thought of his father
as a juggler, because
his stories were
really lots of
different tales
juggled together,
and Rashid
kept them
going in a
sort of dizzy
whirl,
and never made a
mistake.
Where do all these stories come from?
From the great
story sea.
Glug glug glug.
I drink the
story waters
and ...
... then I feel full of
steam.
Where do you keep this hot water?
It comes out
of an
invisible
tap...
installed by
one of the
Water
Genies.
I‘ve never
seen a Water
Genie!
You‘re never
up in time to
see the
milkman,
but you don‘t
mind drinking
the milk.
You have to be
a subscriber.
And how do you become a subscriber?
Oh, that‘s
much Too
Complicated
To Explain.
Now kindly
desist from
this Iffing and
Butting
and be happy
with the
stories you
enjoy.

Soraya joins
Haroun and Rashid.
Why don‘t you
have any more
children?
9
We used up our full
quota of child-stuff
just in making you.
It‘s all packed in there,
enough for maybe four
or five kiddies. Yes,
sir, there‘s more to
you than the blinking
9
eye can
see.
We tried
We tried.
This child
business is
not an easy
thing.
Think of the
poor
Senguptas.
9
The Senguptas lived
upstairs.
9
Mr Sengupta
was a clerk at
the offices of
the City
Corporation and
he was as sticky
thin and whinyvoiced and
mingy ...
Mr Sengupta
... as his wife
Oneeta was
generous and
loud and
wobbly-fat.
2.2
They had no
children at all,
and as a result
Oneeta
Sengupta paid
more attention
to Haroun than
he really cared
for.
11
Mr Sengupta
ignored
Haroun, but
was always
talking to
Soraya.
11
That husband
of yours,
excuse me if I
mention, he‘s
got his head
stuck in the air
and his feet off
the ground.
What are
all these
stories?
Life is not
a storybook
or a joke
shop. All
this fun
will come
to no good.
What‘s the use of stories that
aren‘t even true?
Haroun couldn‘t
get the terrible
question out of his
head.
