What is The fisherman and the genie about?

A poor fisherman casts his net into the sea, hoping to catch enough fish to feed himself. Instead, he pulls up an old jar. When he opens it, a terrifying genie bursts out and threatens to kill him. The fisherman knows he cannot defeat the genie with strength, so he must use his cleverness to escape. Can he trick the genie and return safely home? This exciting retelling of an Arabic tale is filled with danger, magic and quick thinking.
