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!

Traumstrände, malerische Buchten, angesagte Clubs, unzählige Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, interessante Sehenswürdigkeiten und
attraktive Naturschutzgebiete – Mallorca zählt zu
den beliebtesten Zielen für Urlauber. Familien buchen Flüge nach Mallorca ebenso gern, wie Nachtschwärmer, Wanderer und Wassersportler.
Mallorca ist bei Urlaubern erst recht wegen seiner vielen traumhaften Strände beliebt.
Weißer, feiner Sand, versteckte Buchten und ein in den schönsten Blautönen schimmerndes Meer locken im sommer viele Touristen an. Die Strände der Buchten Cala
Mesquida und Cala Torta in Artà bezaubern mit bildschönen Sanddünen,
die fast schon an die Strände der Nordsee erinnern. Karibisch blau dagegen lädt das Meer hier zum
Baden und bei Wind Wassersportler zum Windsurfer ein. Für seine breiten Dünen und den traumhaften Sand berühmt ist der nahe Palma gelegene und dadurch gut besuchte Strand Es Trenc.
Doch der Strand wird nicht nur von Badegästen besucht.
In seine Nähe liegen naturgeschützte Salzfelder, aus denen noch
heute Salz gewonnen wird. Zudem lassen sich hier zahlreiche Zugvögel beobachten. Die Hauptstadt Mallorcas, Palma, lädt seine
Besucher zu ausgedehnten Shopping-Touren in Schuhgeschäften, Kaufhäusern, Luxusgeschäften und Designer-Boutiquen ein. Besonders sehenswert ist der montags, freitags und samstags aufm Plaça Major stattfindende Kunsthandwerkermarkt.

Eine geschickte Tarnung ergrauter Partien kein Ruhmesblatt.
So vermeidet ihr dieses Problem: Beim Ansatzfärben hilft dieser Trick:
Massiert in die Längen und Spitzen, bzw. in alle Partien, die
noch eure Wunschfarbe haben, etwas Haarspülung. Sie legt sich wie ein Film ums
Haar und verhindert den unmittelbaren Kontakt mit das Coloration. Gebt das Färbemittel
erst in den letzten zwölf Minuten der Einwirkzeit auch in die Längen und Spitzen. Tragt
dann mit einem Färbepinsel die Farbe nur am Ansatz auf.
Damit wird eure Farbe aufgefrischt, ohne jedoch zu sehr auszufallen. Ich färbe mein Haar ja nochmal – dachtet
ihr jedenfalls vorher und habt darum darauf verzichtet, die Anleitung genau zu lesen. Spült nach
Ablauf der Einwirkzeit euer Haar aus und behandelt es wie in der Anleitung beschrieben weiter.
Seltsam nur, dass das Ergebnis anders ausfällt, als beim letzten Mal.
Das Haar wirkt irgendwie angegriffener als sonst.
So vermeidet ihr diese Falle: Trotzdem ihr schon Routine darin habt, eure Haare selbst zu färben:
Ihr solltet euch die Anleitung genau durchlesen!
