Arabian Nights


‘Arabian nights’ is a very interesting story. There were two brothers living apart from each other. The older, King Shahryar was more powerful than his younger brother Shahzaman. King Shahryar told his vizier to tell his younger brother to visit him. As his brother came he was utterly sad. Shahryar wanted to know why and so then he asked. Shazaman answered that his wife has betrayed him. Shahryar was very mad and told his vizier to tell all the woman to marry him. He would marry one a day then kill her one the next day. Until there was the daughters of the vizier. He had two daughters and older one, Scheherazade and the younger one, Dinarzad. Scheherazade was very well educated and beautiful; she had read plenty of amazing stories and can tell wonderful stories too. Scheherazade had a plan. She told her dad to send her to marry King Shahryar, he disagreed completely at first but as she told him the plan he let her go. She told her sister that she will send for her sister to come to her and say “Sister, if you’re not sleepy, tell a story.” And then when she tells her sister and King Shahryar stories, King Shahryar would always want to listen and to never kill her, so she would save all the other woman even her sister. If you want to be enthralled with her fantastic fables read this book.
