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!
Hello! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
My website looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4.
I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might
be able to fix this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share.
Many thanks!
Hello, always i used to check blog posts here in the early
hours in the dawn, for the reason that i enjoy
to gain knowledge of more and more.
Für Rolex gleicht es fast schon einer Revolution: Auf der digitalen Messe Watches and
Wonders präsentierte die Schweizer Traditionsmarke ihre neuen Uhren für 2021 – und für ein Haus wie
Rolex, das normalerweise nur äußerst behutsam seine Modelle überarbeitet, waren einige
spektakuläre Neuheiten dabei. Die neue Rolex Explorer wird mit 36 Millimetern Durchmessern wieder etwas kleiner –
und entspricht damit der Größe des Originalmodells
von 1953. Auffälligstes Merkmal: Die Uhr kommt nun in Bicolor mit
Edelstahl und Rolesor-Gelb (einem Mix aus Edelstahl Oystersteel und 18 Karat Gelbgold).
Dank der neuen Chromalight-Anzeige soll die Uhr laut Rolex besonders lange leuchten. In ihr
tickt das Kaliber 3230, das Zifferblatt ist schwarz lackiert.
Die Rolex Explorer II wurde dagegen etwas behutsamer überarbeitet.
Gehäuse und Armband wurden leicht modernisiert und optimiert, außerdem wird hier ebenfalls die neue Chromalight-Anzeige
verwendet. Die Uhr gibt es in zwei Ausführungen: einmal mit
weißem, einmal mit schwarzem Zifferblatt. Zum Einsatz
kommt das Kaliber 3285 mit einer Gangreserve von 70 Stunden.
Das Armband besitzt eine Oysterlock-Sicherheitsfaltschließe, Durchmesser der Uhr:
42 mm.

Hi, Neat post. There’s a problem along with your website in web explorer,
would test this? IE still is the marketplace leader and a huge section of other people will miss your fantastic writing because of this problem.
Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found
a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said
“You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it
pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
I don’t know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else experiencing problems with your blog.

Hi Dear, are you actually visiting this site regularly, if so then you will absolutely get nice experience.
Qualität hat ihren Preis, so erzählt man. Und wenn es um
teure Uhren geht, stimmt die Aussage allemal: Wertvolle Materialien, kostbare Details und die sorgfältige Verarbeitung derselben machen Uhren zu Luxusschmuck.
Tatsächlich genießen die Prunkstücke aufgrund ihrer Hochwertigkeit beste Chancen,
ganze Familien von Generation zu Generation zu begleiten. Eine wichtige Eigenschaft von Luxusuhren ist die Mechanik.
Das mechanische Uhrwerk enthält die sogenannte Unruh.
Die herausragenden Merkmale von Luxusuhren als da sind vorgestellt!
Beim Unruhreif handelt es sich um ein präzises kleines Schwungrad, das aus Metall gefertigt ist und dessen Achse an den Enden Zapfen zur Lagerung der gespeicherten Rotationsenergie aufweist.
Sie fungiert als Gangregler der jeweiligen Uhr und besteht aus einem
Unruhreif mit Achse sowie einer Unruhspirale. Faustregel: Je genauer
die Unruhschwingung, desto exakter geht die Uhr.
Zusammen mit das Spiralfeder bildet der Reif ein schwingungsfähiges System.
Um das gesamte mechanische Uhrwerk anzutreiben, bedarf es keiner Batterie – wenngleich die Angabe “Automatik”, die
viele teure Uhren charakterisiert, zu dem solchen Schluss verführt.
Incredible story there. What happened after?
Take care!
My brother recommended I might like this website. He was totally right.
