Story Synopsis
The Calif of Iraq is a very good man and sees it as his job to really know what is going on in his country. As a result, each evening he dresses up, together with his vicer, as a common man, and walks through the markets and streets to listen to the people. One day, his brother orders a magician to turn the Calif into a stork so that he could take over and rule the country. Help the Calif and vicer find a way to tunr back into humans. This is a very fun story where everyone has to work together, think outside the box and solve problems. It is about staying calm in a difficult situation and working through the problem, while exploring the customs and traditions of Iraq.
