try to find a way to stay alive.

Explanation:

In the passage from "The Arabian Nights Entertainments," the fisherman discovers a vase in the sea with a genius who vows to kill him. The reason is, he has been waiting for so many centuries to be freed and he has become so angry that he would only let the fisherman choose the way he would like to die. Feeling unfortunate to meet his death, the fisherman manipulates the genius to go inside the vase again, preventing him to come out and kill him.
