This collection of short stories was published in 2001, although its stories were originally published in cultural magazines during the 1930s and 1940s. The collection includes nine stories, each filled with many paradoxes that succeed in surprising the reader the more they delve into their events. In the story "April First," the hero faces a financial crisis, and his aunt refuses to help him, believing he wishes for her death so he can inherit her fortune. He makes an agreement with a nurse to delay the medication his aunt is taking to hasten her death, in exchange for a reward he will grant her after he inherits the fortune. In the story "The Price of a Wife," we meet a husband who learns of his wife's infidelity and asks her lover for the price of their sexual intercourse. The lover gives him a riyal, prompting his wife to commit suicide after he mockingly asks her to tell her family about the riyal.
