"The Giant Okab" quite the mix: Yusof visits Arabia. There he is nabbed by the annual giant bird, makes a deal to give him his first son on his wedding day. Son is nabbed, then Yusof pleads to be taken instead, then his wife, then their daughter, and finally a silent poor girl. Her silence breaks the spell and Okab becomes a handsome warrior. Girl willing sacrificed herself for Yusof's son. They instead married.

"Miss Cockroach and Mr Mouse"
"Miss Cockroach learned her lesson, and from that day onwards she always wore black, and learned to work hard and be sensible and live simply, with her father, in the crack in the kitchen wall. And this is why you will never see a cockroach wearing an aubergine cloak with almond slippers, and you'll never find a silly one, either"
That's sad!
