Hey fellow adventurers! Once again, we’re talking about stories! This was probably the post I was most excited for this month because I loved reading One Thousand and One Nights growing up (a kid’s version obviously). And there are so many more versions that I want to read now that I’m an adult!
For those of you who don’t know, One Thousand and One Nights is about a king who discovers the wives of both him and his brother have been cheating on them with other men. Deciding that all women are unfaithful traitors, the king decides to marry and eventually kill every innocent virgin girl in his village until the only one left is the vizier’s daughter. Rather than back away, the daughter begs her dad to let her marry the king to which the vizier reluctantly agrees. On the night of their marriage, the vizier’s daughter begins to tell the king a story but stops midway. The king agrees to let her live another day if she finishes her story the following day. She does but then she starts another story and once again, doesn’t finish the story unless he lets her live another day. This goes on for one thousand and one nights until (spoiler alert) he pardons her so she’s no longer in danger of being executed. Some of the stories she tells him are pretty well known:
Aladdin (http://www.thenagain.info/Classes/Sources/Aladdin.html)
Aladdin finds a magic lamp that grants him riches, the hand of the sultan’s daughter and an extravagant palace but is tricked by an evil sorcerer.
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves (http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/burt1k1/tale31.htm)
Ali Baba, a poor woodcutter, stumbles upon a cave full of treasure while gathering firewood and takes a small bag of coins home with him. However, when his greedy brother finds out about the cave, he gets caught and murdered by the forty thieves who frequent the cave. It doesn’t take the thieves long to figure out Ali Baba knows their secret and attempt to eliminate him multiple times but fail every time.
Sinbad the Sailor (http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/lang1k1/tale15.htm)
A rich merchant tells a poor porter the story of how he became rich through seven wondrous journeys. During his voyages throughout the seas east of Africa and south of Asia, he has fantastic adventures going to magical places, meeting monsters, and encountering supernatural phenomena.
And then there’s stories you might have heard of but didn’t realize where Arabian Night stories:
The Three Princes (http://www.fairytales24.ru/catalog/saudi-arabia-folktales/skazka-the-three-princes-675/)
To win the hand of a beautiful princess, three princes embark on a journey to find the most a trinket so amazing that it will move the princess to want to marry them.
The Fisherman and the Genie (http://www.uexpress.com/tell-me-a-story/2008/5/4/the-fisherman-and-the-genie-a)
A fisherman stumbles upon a genie’s bottle and accidentally awakens the vengeful genie who has planned on killing whoever releases him from his bottle.
In the post on Indian folktales I mentioned that this was my favorite story growing up:
The Prince and the Tortoise (http://ursulav.livejournal.com/1488524.html)
A king intent on marrying off his sons tells his sons that Allah will decide their future wives by leading the arrow they shoot into the territory of their future wives’ homes. The first two sons land their arrows in the territory of nearby kingdoms but the third and youngest son shoots his arrow into a tortoise’s garden. Certain it’s a mistake the king has his son shoot several more arrows, all of which land in the tortoise’s garden. The son, believing it is Allah’s will, marries the tortoise. However, the tortoise has some surprising secrets up her sleeve (shell?).
That’s it for this post! I highly recommend you read the stories I mentioned. They’re all amazing! Do have a favorite Arabian Nights story? If so, please comment which one below! I would love to check it out if I haven’t read it already! Thank you so much for reading my blog! Until our next adventure!

would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where
you got your design. Thanks

😉
Ahaa, its good conversation about this piece of writing here at this web site, I have read all that, so at this time
me also commenting here.
I have been surfing online more than 3 hours as of late, yet I never
found any attention-grabbing article like yours.
It’s pretty price sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content material

In unserem Fall mit einem überschaubaren 3-Zimmer Erdgeschoss waren das über 2,5 Stunden in zwei Fahrten. Flur übersehen, obwohl die Basis direkt neben der Flur-Tür stand.
Der Tank des Roboters ist kinderleicht zu entnehmen und aus zu kippen.
Allerdings ist die Box nicht auslaufsicher.
Er befindet sich unterm Deckel des Roboters in der Mitte.
Die größten Nachteile sind in unseren Augen die Lautstärke und die Notwendigkeit von Licht.
Nächtliches Staubsaugen ist ausgeschlossen, es sei denn die Räume sind beleuchtet.
Wer den Roboter ins Obergeschoß trägt, dem kann herausrieselnder Sand begegnen. Die Lautstärke hat eine ratternde Charakteristik,
ähnlich dem Neato D701. Allerdings rumpelt es beim Fahren nicht wirklich stark wie beim
Neato, das »Fahrwerk« des iRobot scheint besser abgefedert.
Für deutlich weniger gibt es auch gute Absaugstation-Geräte von der Konkurrenz: Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI,
unsere Empfehlung bei den Wischrobotern (Kombigerät Saugen und
Wischen). Absaug-Basis für deutlich weniger nicht liiert ist.
Der Dreame L10 Pro (Sub Brand von Xiaomi) kommt mit einem
großen Staubtank von 570 Millilitern und einem
einfachen Wischkonzept daher: Der Staubtank sitzt im Saugroboter,
die Wischplatte mit Wischtank (300 ml) wird bei Bedarf einfach untergeschoben.
Wow! After all I got a website from where I be capable of really take valuable data regarding my study and knowledge.
Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the images on this blog loading?
I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
First off I would like to say superb blog!
I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
I have had trouble clearing my mind in getting my ideas out.
I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just
seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any suggestions or tips? Appreciate it!
Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and
visual appeal. I must say you have done a very good job with this.
Additionally, the blog loads extremely quick for me
on Safari. Excellent Blog!
Its such as you read my thoughts! You seem to grasp a lot approximately this, like you wrote the e book
in it or something. I think that you just could do with
some % to pressure the message home a bit, however
instead of that, that is fantastic blog. An excellent read.
I’ll certainly be back.
I visited many web sites except the audio quality for audio songs existing at this
site is genuinely fabulous.
I’m not sure why but this site is loading extremely slow for me.
Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end?
I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
Heya i’m for the first time here. I found this board and I

Die FMW-3 Sensoren überzeugen durch eine Vielfalt an Variationen. Es herrscht den “FMW-3”, “FMW-3T”, “FMW-3V” und “FMW-3VT”.
So können Sie die optimale Auswahl für Ihre Zwecke treffen. Die Sensoren sind hervorragend
für die Außenüberwachung geeignet und können gemäß Modell in Temperaturbereichen von -50°C bis 65°C genutzt werden.
Über eine zusätzliche Verbindung per Kabel können benachbarte Magnetfelder vernetzt werden und der
Schutz vor Überlappung der Felder oder
Sabotage erhöht werden. Der volumetrische Mikrowellensensor ist
umso mehr für die Überwachung von kreis- bzw. ovalförmigen Bereichen gedacht.
So können z.B. Tunnel, Warenhäuser, etc. Der Überwachungsbereich ist in 12 Unterzonen eingeteilt, ihrer
einzelne oder mehrere deaktiviert werden können. Beispiel:
Bei einem großen Gebäude könnten alle Fenster auf Zugriff überwacht werden, während man den Eingangsbereich ausspart.
So ist es möglich, atomar Überwachungsradius
Zonen lösbar, die ohne Alarm passiert werden können. Nicht ausbleiben zwei Varianten vom Forteza M60 mit unterschiedlicher Größe des
Magentfelds.
