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!
Asking questions are really pleasant thing if you are not understanding anything entirely, except this post
presents nice understanding yet.
Hey there would you mind letting me know which web host you’re using?

price? Thanks, I appreciate it!

Whats up this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually
code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone
with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good.

blogger if you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!

logo new reader. What would you recommend in regards to your submit that you just made some days in the
past? Any certain?

Dass Haare beim Gesamterscheinungsbild eine wichtige
Rolle spielen, haben Frauen längst verstanden. Ist die Frisur typgerecht und top fit, fallen kleine Schwächen zur Frage Outfit weit weniger ins
Gewicht. Die Frisur prägt den Look – und setzt genau die Akzente, die ihrer Trägerin wichtig sind.
Die Klassiker untern Damenfrisuren: Bob und Co. Die Wahl der richtigen Damenfrisur ist daher viel wichtiger als
die Entscheidung für oder gegen ein bestimmtes Paar Schuhe, e.
g.. Mittellange Damenhaarschnitte sind erfreulicherweise wieder oft zu sehen. Man trägt auch wieder kürzer –
endlich! Sehr begrüßenswert ist in diesem Zug die Rückkehr des Bob – einem echten Frisurenklassiker, den es
in unzähligen Varianten gibt. Und der übrigens fast jeder Frau gut zu Gesicht steht!
Jung, frech und trendig ist auch der Long Bob – und zudem eine
tolle Alternative für Frauen, die sich gerne von ihrer Langhaarmähne verabschieden möchten, aber nicht
wirklich recht wissen, wie.
Hello to every body, it’s my first go to see of this
webpage; this website includes awesome and genuinely excellent data in favor of visitors.
Daher können die Melder keine Eindringlinge hinter Wänden oder Glas registrieren, da
dort die Wärmestrahlung nicht wirken kann.
Deswegen sind sie eher zur Steuerung des Hausflur- oder Kellerlichts geeignet.
Beachten Sie beim Kaufen eines Bewegungsmelders die Herstellerangabe über den Stromverbrauch,
da Bewegungsmelder meistens rund um die uhr mit Energie versorgt werden müssen. Dort sind sie in Überwachungskameras
integriert, sodass zu kritischen Zeitpunkten Videoaufnahmen gestartet werden. Eindämmen können Sie die Kosten, indem Sie z.
B. Ihren Bewegungsmelder mit einer Zeitschaltuhr versehen, damit dieser nur
nachts aktiviert ist. Häufig sind Bewegungsmelder
mit Reichweiten zwischen 10 und 20 Metern zu finden. Daher können Sie je bedarfsweise die passende Größe wählen. Beachten Sie: Je
größer die Reichweite, desto höher ist auch die Gefahr, dass der Sensor einen falschen Alarm auslöst.
Befestigen Sie den Melder an einem Ort, wo Sonne und Tageslicht gut hingelangen,
kann ein Bewegungsmelder mit Solar-Panels wie geschaffen Wahl sein.
Achten Sie bei Deckenmeldern darauf, dass diese einen 360°-Öffnungswinkel haben, damit
der ganze Raum erfasst wird. Einerseits müssen Sie sich entscheiden, ob Sie den Melder an der Decke oder der Wand platzieren möchten. 2.4.
Handhabung: Lohnt sich ein Bewegungsmelder mit Funkschalter?
Funk-Bewegungsmelder werden per Funk an- und ausgeschaltet.
So sind sie – abweichend von Meldern mit Automatikschalter am Gerät – geschützt
gegen Fremdeinwirkung von außen. Bei schmalen, länglichen Räumen ist allerdings eher ein Wandmelder empfiehlt sich, der sich gegebenenfalls auch in die Wand
einbauen lässt, sodass er kaum auffällt. Weiterhin ist
die Installation dieser Produkte einfacher. Niemand kann manuell den Melder manipulieren, somit sind die Funk-Bewegungsmelder einbruchsicherer.
Grundsätzlich existieren für Bewegungsmelder keine besonderen Richtlinien. Bei einem Bewegungsmelder mit Kamera müssen Sie darauf achten, dass dieser nur
Ihr eigenes Grundstück aufzeichnet. Sobald fremdes Terrain zu sehen ist, können Ihre Nachbarn rechtlich
gegen Sie vorgehen.
Hey there! I’m at work browsing your blog from my new iphone
3gs! Just wanted to say I love reading your blog and look forward to all your posts!
Carry on the excellent work!
I think that what you wrote was actually very logical.
However, what about this? suppose you typed a catchier title?
I ain’t saying your information isn’t solid, but suppose you added something to maybe grab folk’s
attention? I mean Arabian Stories – Bryanna Vs The World is kinda vanilla.
You might glance at Yahoo’s front page and see how they write post titles to grab viewers to open the
links. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to get people
interested about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it
would make your posts a little livelier.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something which I think I
would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me.
I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
Thanks for your personal marvelous posting! I quite enjoyed reading it,
you can be a great author.I will remember to bookmark your blog and definitely will
come back later in life. I want to encourage one to continue your great job, have a nice morning!
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog
that’s both educative and interesting, and without a doubt, you have
hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that too few
folks are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy
I found this in my search for something concerning this.
My family every time say that I am killing my time here at net, but I know I am getting knowledge daily by reading thes good articles.
