All he got was an old brass vase, and hoping to sell it he
           started to clean it.When he removed the seal that covered
           the mouth of the vase, a column of smoke lifted out of its
           depth and climbed up and up. It reached the clouds, and
           took the shape of a huge demon, frightening the
           fisherman,just as the ogre had done with me.
             The demon said:
             - Choose the kind of death you prefer, because I am
           going to kill you.
             The poor fisherman fell on his knees,begging the demon
           for his life and for the life of his children,because he was
           the only one who could feed them.
             The demon laughed and said that he did not care for
           anything or anyone.The fisherman told him that it was
           not right or generous to give death to his deliverer.That
           unclean spirit replied that he didn’t care about being
           right,and least of all about being generous.__
