Haroun must now work not only to restore his father's Gift of the Gab, but to save the Sea of Stories from being destroyed forever. However, when he arrives, he finds that the Ocean of the Streams of Story, where all stories come from, has become polluted.
Haroun, insisting that his father still needs his stories, blackmails the creature into taking him back to the magical world of Kahani, where he hopes to plead for Rashid to be reconnected. The night before the performance, Haroun catches a magical creature in his father's bathroom who has come to disconnect Rashid's supply of Story Water. Haroun and Rashid travel to the Valley of K, where Rashid is supposed to speak at a major political rally. Even worse is the effect on his father: Rashid, formerly a storyteller of seemingly boundless imagination, suddenly finds himself unable to spin his marvelous tales. This event devastates Haroun, who develops a kind of ADHD as a result. Haroun, however, is happy - until one day his mother runs away with their neighbour. Haroun Khalifa lives with his parents, Rashid and Soraya, in a city so sad it has forgotten its name.
Haroun and the Sea of Stories is a children's fantasy novel by Salman Rushdie. Even in all the Arabian Nights you will never have a night like this.
