In this book a sultan has three sons so identical that only their mother could tell them apart. After their mother died no one knew which was which, mostly because they were always pretending they were each other. When their father was old he called them to his chamber and asked them to tell him their true names. Their true names were Salman Raman and Enir. After they told him their true and rightful names the sultan told them to go find themselves a wife to marry. At last when they found a princess that they liked they fell in love with her at once. On her birthday they tried to woo her. Each gave her special gifts. Then like a waterfall she fell in love with one of them but didn't know who because they were always tricking her on who they were.

This book is about
There are three princes that look identical. They go off to find a princess to marry.
The three princes meet a lovely princess (Halima). They all fall in love with her and she falls in love with one of them, but cannot work out which one she is in love with.
Her father, the king, sends the princes to find something magical for his daughter.
Raman buys a mirror from an old man; Salman buys a magic carpet and Emir swaps his ring for an orange.
Raman and Salman think that Emir's orange is useless and that one of their gifts will be chosen by the princess, who will then chose one of them to marry.
Princess Halima becomes ill and Raman uses his mirror to find this out. Salman uses his magic carpet to travel to Princess Halima. When they arrive, Emir puts some of the orange near the princess' mouth and she wakes up. Emir's orange makes her remember that she loves him and they get married.
The main characters are
The three princes, (Emir, Salman and Raman) and Princess Halima.
My favourite part of the book is
When Emir's orange makes Princess Halima wake up.
I would also like to say
I think Emir cared for Princess Halima, but Raman and Salman chose gifts that they liked for themselves.
