Werner provided the summary of a story she considered to be "a composite tale" that spread with the Arabs. In this story, a sultan's son abandons his companion, a vizier's son, during a walk, and the latter is welcomed by a zimwi. The zimwi instructs the boy not to open a certain door, and goes to invite his friends for a cannibal feast. The vizier's son open the forbidden door and finds a giant horse inside, which warns him the zimwi is a cannibal, and urges the boy to release every animal in the house (an ox, a lion, a leopard and a donkey), steal seven magic bottles and escape with it away from the zimwi's lair. The horse swallows the animals to take along with him, and escapes with the boy in a "Magic Flight" sequence: the seven bottles are thrown behind them to create obstacles to their pursuers. The giant horse and the boy reach a remote destination, and it creates a large house for them. The boy assumes the identity of "Kibaraka" ('Little Blessing') and dresses up as a beggar. He goes to a nearby city just in time to take part in a suitor selection test: the local sultan's seven daughters are to throw limes to their husbands of choice, the elder six cast theirs to noble men and the seventh to Kibaraka. Later, the sultan falls ill, and only the meat of a certain bird can cure him. Kibaraka finds the bird in the forest and is approached by his six brothers-in-law, who wish for a share. Kibaraka, in regal clothes, agrees to let them have it, in exchange for him branding their backs. At the end of the tale, after fighting the sultan's enemies, Kibaraka reveals himself as Hamed, son of the Wazir of Basra. Linguist Jan Knappert published the tale as The Giant Horse, and sourced it from the Swahili.

He stops to rest in the desert for the night, when the daughter of the King of the Djinns appears to him intent on helping him as his adoptive sister.
