The quotation from "The Story of the Fisherman” in The Arabian Nights Entertainments which supports the theme that cleverness trumps wrat is:

“I really cannot believe it,” said the fisherman. “That vase could not contain one of your feet even, and how could your whole body go in? I cannot believe it unless I see you do the thing.”  

"The Story of the Fisherman” is the story of a fisherman and a Genie. When the fisherman witnesses a pot covered with lead, he becomes curious about it and then opens it. To his astonishment, he discovers a Genie who asks him the manner in which he wants to die in return of his freedom. The fisherman becomes sad and in great despair asks the story that how he was captivated in the pot. The Genie turned into smoke and went inside the pot.

He also told the Genie that he will build a house near the seashore and warn each fisherman about the pot and the evil Genie.
