Story
In this Italian fairy tale, a young man named Fair Brow paid the debts of a dead man to assure a proper burial. He married a beautiful maiden who happened to be a sultan's daughter, but sadly, she was abducted. An old man took him fishing and they agreed to share everything. One day, a storm swept them to a distant shore where they were captured. The sultan's daughter recognized her husband and arranged for them to sail off together with a ship full of riches. Fair Brow returned to share the riches with the old man, who requested half of Fair Brow's wife too. Fair Brow offered him all the riches instead. Grateful for the generous offer, the old man revealed his true identity as the dead man who Fair Brow had helped. The shaking of hands symbolizes unity and cooperation. The birds circle in formation, signifying cooperation between the spirit world and the physical realm. A treasure chest filled with riches symbolizes karmic reward.
