To prevent Shahryar realising she's starting a complete new story, Scheherazade begins her next tale by following on from the last, explaining that Faisal (Stanley Lebor) designed Morgiana's wedding attire and his wife, Safil (Jamila Massey), from Constantinople, were at Ali Baba's wedding. Back in Constantinople, the couple have dinner with Bac-Bac (Alexei Sayle), the Sultan's hunchbacked-jester, during which Bac-Bac chokes on a fish bone and dies. Worried about their reputation, Faisal and Safil leave the body on the doorstep of a Jewish physician, Ezra Ben Ezra (Leon Lissek). Before Dr Ezra can take a look at Bac-Bac, he trips over him in the dark and they both fall down his doorway stairs. After the fall, Ezra finds the dead body and assumes that he accidentally killed him. Recognising BacBac, they repeat the actions of Faisal and Safil by dropping the body down the chimney of their Chinese neighbour, Hi-Ching (Junix Inocian). Hi-Ching mistakenly believes that he is about to be robbed and attacks Bac-Bac with Kung Fu. Hi-Ching mistakenly believes that he killed BacBac by hitting him so hard and (like the others) he fears for his welfare. So he carries the body to a dark alcove, where Englishman Jerome Gribben (Roger Hammond) is walking home in a drunken stupor. BacBac's body falls onto Jerome, who believes he is being attacked. He repeatedly hits the body against a wall, and calls the nearby guards. The guards recognise Bac-Bac and arrest Jerome for murder. Jerome is put on trial and sentenced to death. Unable to bear the guilt, Hi-Ching, Ezra, and Faisal all confess that they had killed the poor hunchback. In the middle of all their arguments, the Sultan (Tony Osoba) comes and demands to know who the killed his jester. The Sultan realises Bac-Bac's death was an accident in any event and frees Jerome and the others, explaining that Bac-Bac would have been amused by the manner of his death.

Citizenship in an E-world may show your character. With the fast movement of technology nowadays, certain crimes and attitudes are in trend."Character is what you do when no one is watching." Almost all of us our members of this so called E-world. We have the capability on how we are going to deal with it including ethics, etiquette, security and responsibility. E-habits are often one of the reasons to what teenagers at present have mostly become.. Online, they can feel invisible and capable of doing things they normally wouldn't do in person or in public - things that they know might be wrong. E-world nowadays did not only become as a tool for helping people but also as a target-attacking computers of others, as a weapon-to commit traditional crime that we see in the physical world and as an accessory-particularly a fancy filing cabinet to store illegal and stolen information. Hackers and Pirates are now wide spread all over the world. Plagiarism had also been one of the major problems associated. Most teenagers even used this as a tool to cyber bullying and cyber stalking. Seriously, Cyber protection is no joke. We must look upon our stuffs and use our common sense. We must depend on human integrity. We know very well its established rules and limits towards acceptable behavior but why are we blind to see those? We know the beliefs or conventions on good and evil, good or bad conduct, and justice and injustice. It has its purpose but what happened to most of us? Would we just let our blind eyes to continue to what we are doing and follow our own decision? Or would we try to open our eyes to the reality that awaits us? Lets try to take this famous advice to highschool students: Dont LOOK at anything in a Physics lab; Dont SMELL anything in a Biology lab; Dont TASTE anything in a Chemistry lab; Dont TOUCH anything in a medical lab; Dont LISTEN to anything in a Philosophy course; and most of all, Dont TRUST anything in a computer lab. Indeed, this reminds us not to trust when it comes to Eworld. We might be chatting to our Internet friend enjoying his or her company, publishing our works online giving soft copies, posting our memorable photos and videos, uploading musics, but who knows? These might be one of the paths leading us to destruction. There are many persons who became famous and rich because of this modern technology but there is no guarantee that this would give us 1oo% assurance of happiness. Some often thinks that the Internet is so big, so powerful and
pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life. Is this really the complete substitution to life? Lets try to think more about it. Not all things in this world can easily be appointed as a substitute to life. Internet is not a great deal compared to life. In fact, Internet was just created to contribute to our happiness not happiness itself. We must always remember that it is not only the E-world who runs our whole world that there are still things surrounding us. Let us try to leave this questions on our mind, what is really the purpose of this technology? Is it to give an easier
way and serve as a helpful tool to the modern world? Or to give way to people to invade privacy, destroy property, injure other computer users and crash systems to malfunction and not work? -Anika Mae Fierro
