(7) 👑 The Doctor Who Cured A King With A TENNIS RACKET... And Was Executed For It

Описание: 🎾 A doctor cures a king's incurable leprosy with nothing but a tennis racket... and the king executes him as "thanks." Welcome to one of the darkest, most psychologically complex stories from One Thousand and One Nights—a tale within a tale within a tale that spans magic, medicine, and monstrous ingratitude.

This is the legendary "Tale of the Physician Douban"—a nested narrative Scheherazade tells the Sultan, which the fisherman tells the genie, which explains why trust is so fragile and power so corruptible.

📖 In This Epic Animated Adaptation:

PART 1: THE MIRACLE CURE

A Greek king suffers from horrific leprosy

The Persian physician Douban arrives with an impossible promise

The "tennis racket cure" that works through hollow-handle medicine

Instant healing → instant fame → instant envy

PART 2: THE PARANOID TURN

Courtiers whisper: "He cured you simply... he could kill you simply"

The king's tragic parable about the truthful parrot

The vizier's counter-parable about the ogress and the prince

How suspicion poisons gratitude

PART 3: THE POISONED BOOK REVENGE

Douban's execution day "last request"

The enchanted book with poison-lined pages

The talking head prophecy: "Tyrant, you are justly punished!"

A death that teaches a lesson even from beyond the grave

PART 4: THE FISHERMAN'S PARALLEL

How this story convinces the genie to spare the fisherman

The transition to the next story: The Four Colored Fish

The narrative Russian doll of Arabian Nights

🎨 AI-Powered Visual Splendor:

The leprosy's visual transformation and healing

The tennis court as medical theater

The whispering courtiers in shadowy corridors

The talking head's chilling final judgment

The poison book's deadly pages turning

💡 The Timeless Lessons:

No good deed goes unpunished when envy is in the room

Power fears those who can give—and take away—health

The cleverest revenge educates even as it destroys

Stories within stories teach us about stories within politics

👇 Philosophical Question:
"Was Douban's revenge justified, or did he become what he hated?"

The physician swore to heal, yet killed

The king was ungrateful, but was death the right penalty?
