In the red desert, every object was as red as vermillion! The red sky, red land, red water and the intense red flaming heat were making it very difficult for Hatim to walk. As he walked further into the red desert, he almost lost the power to move. He said to himself, ‘I cannot die like this; I have to save my friend!’ And so, he tried to move on but lay senseless in the blazing heat with blisters and a shrivelled body. Shortly, an old man approached him and said, “Why don’t you use the magical pearl that you have.” Hatim did as he was told and instantly the heat ceased to bother him and his body healed. On asking, the old man told him that the heat was caused by the huge red dragons that lived there. They breathed out fire. However, Hatim with his magical pearl was ready to face them.
