Summary

The dervish Alish dies and is taken in a majestic procession to the cemetery. When he ascends to heaven to be judged, he discovers that the sum of his virtues equals the sum of his sins, so he's sent back to the living in order to test him and decide whether he should enter heaven or hell.
