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!
After I initially commented I appear to have clicked on the

Thanks!
You actually make it appear really easy along with your presentation however I
find this topic to be really one thing which I think I might by no means understand.
It sort of feels too complicated and very vast for me. I am
looking ahead for your next put up, I’ll attempt to get
the dangle of it!
Hello, this weekend is fastidious in support of me, because this time i am reading this fantastic
informative post here at my residence.
Usually I don’t read post on blogs, but I wish to say that this write-up very pressured me to check out
and do it! Your writing style has been surprised me.

Information.

I needs to spend a while finding out more or figuring out more.
Thanks for excellent information I used to be on the lookout for this info for my mission.
This is very attention-grabbing, You’re an overly professional blogger.
I’ve joined your rss feed and look ahead to searching for more of your magnificent post.
Additionally, I’ve shared your web site in my social networks
I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.
The issue is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
Now i’m very happy that I found this during my hunt for something
concerning this.

In diesem Artikel möchte ich Ihnen mit einer SEO-Definition zunächst zeigen, was sich genau hinter dem Begriff der Suchmaschinenoptimierung versteckt.
Falls Sie ein Einsteiger auf diesem Gebiet sind
und sich zunächst den Basics der Suchmaschinenoptimierung widmen wollen, sollten Sie einen Hinsehen unser SEO-Experteninterview “SEO für Anfänger” werfen. Search Engine Optimization bedeutet
übersetzt Suchmaschinenoptimierung und wird
mit SEO abgekürzt. Darnach gehe ich dann auf die wichtigsten Faktoren ein, die Sie fürs Ranking in Suchmaschinen berücksichtigen und
mit denen Sie Ihre Position in den Google-Ergebnissen verbessern können. SEO ist neben dem Search Engine Advertising (SEA) Kern des Suchmaschinenmarketings (SEM) und zielt darauf ab, bei der organischen Suche möglichst weit
oben gelistet zu werden. Die organische oder auch natürliche Suche bezieht sich
dabei auf die Suchergebnisse, für die man nicht zahlt.
Es geht also a fortiori darum, seine Webseite so aufzubauen, dass Google diese möglichst weit oben einsortiert.
Vor einigen Jahren konnten die Suchalgorithmen von Google noch durch die
blinde Aneinanderkettung relevanter Keywords ausgetrickst werden.
Paragraph writing is also a excitement, if you know then you can write otherwise it is difficult to write.
I could not refrain from commenting. Well written!
We’re a group of volunteers and starting a new scheme in our community.
Your site provided us with valuable information to work on. You have done
a formidable job and our entire community will be thankful to you.
I would like to thank you for the efforts you have put in writing this
blog. I am hoping to check out the same high-grade content by you later on as
well. In fact, your creative writing abilities has inspired me to get my own site now ;

In Italien werden die Einschränkungen In Etappen zurückgenommen. Einen Spanien-Urlaub an der Zeit sein für den Frühsommer
bis jetzt nicht buchen. Buffets in Hotels sind verboten. Buchungen für
den Zugang zu Strandbädern sollen verhindern, dass die Menschen zu dicht
aneinander im sonnenlicht braten. Mallorca und die anderen Urlaubsinseln können aber darauf hoffen, vielleicht doch ein wenig früher eine beschränkte Zahl von in- und ausländischen Besuchern empfangen zu dürfen. Desinfektionsmittel müssen überall bereit stehen. Es gebe eine Arbeitsgruppe, die über ein solches Pilotprojekt spreche, hiermit man erste Erfahrungen sammeln wolle, bestätigte Verkehrsminister José Luis Ábalos.
Die Regierung in Madrid bekräftigte, dass man frühestens ab Ende
Juni mit einer weitgehenden Grenzöffnung für Touristen rechnen könne.
Selbst den Spaniern werde es bis nachher verboten bleiben, in andere Regionen des Landes zu
reisen. Die Inseln setzen sich längere Zeit für die Errichtung eines “sicheren Tourismuskorridors”.
Die Menschen, die trotz geschlossener Grenzen einreisen dürfen, weil
sie in Spanien eine Erstwohnung haben oder eine Arbeitsstelle antreten, müssen zwei Wochen insular.

Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time deciding
between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and
I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
I appreciate, cause I discovered exactly what I used to be looking for.
You have ended my 4 day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have a great day.

Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar
one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam
remarks? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can recommend?
I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so
any assistance is very much appreciated.
Zusätzlich bestimmt das Kabel die Reichweite – ist es nicht lang genug, muss der Staubsauger an einer anderen Steckdose angeschlossen werden. Beim
Akkusauger treten diese Probleme des Saugens nicht auf.
Er besteht aus einer verstellbaren Saugstange ohne einen sperrigen Korpus und Kabel.
Treppen stellen jeden Bodensauger vor eine Herausforderung.
In beiden Fällen bietet der Akku-Staubsauger mit leichtem tragbarem Korpus mehr Flexibilität
und eine einfachere Handhabung. Bei kabelgebundenen Staubsaugern ist der Saugschlauch zumeist nicht sehr
lang, sodass höher gelegene Stellen nicht oder nur schwer
zu erreichen sind. Wie gut reinigen Akku-Staubsauger den zu saugenden Bereich?
Die Saugleistung der Akku-Staubsauger wird von den kabelgebundenen Bodenstaubsaugern übertroffen. Akku-Staubsauger haben nicht nur Vorteile gegenüber herkömmlichen Bodenstaubsaugern, sondern bringen auch
Nachteile mit sich, die hier gegenübergestellt werden. Kabelgebundene Staubsauger können beliebig lang auf
beliebig starkem Saug-Modus instrumentalisiert werden,
während die Laufzeit des Akkusaugers a fortiori bei hoher Saugstufe
stark begrenzt ist. Viele Akku-Staubsauger halten im stärksten Saug-Modus
nur wenige Minuten durch. Manche Modelle haben eine Laufzeit von nur 10 Minuten,
was meist nicht ausreicht, um den gesamten Haushalt zu säubern.
What i do not understood is actually how
you’re no longer actually much more neatly-preferred than you might be right now.
You’re so intelligent. You recognize thus considerably on the subject of this topic, made me in my opinion believe
it from so many various angles. Its like women and men are not interested unless it
is one thing to do with Lady gaga! Your own stuffs excellent.
All the time handle it up!
Thanks in support of sharing such a fastidious thinking, article is nice, thats why i have read it completely
Wow, that’s what I was seeking for, what a information! present here at
this weblog, thanks admin of this web site.
