The many tales of the Arabian Nights are connected by a central story that acts as a frame for the whole collection. In the frame story a girl named Scheherazade (or Shahrazad) is the heroine. She is a member of a kingdom in which the ruler (called a sultan) is angry at women because his first wife betrayed him. To get revenge, he marries a new woman each night and has her killed the next morning. Show When Scheherazade marries the sultan, she comes up with a plan. She decides to tell him a story every night but stop just when she reaches the most interesting part. If he wants to hear the rest, he has to let her live another night. The sultan falls for the plan. Scheherazade keeps telling him stories in this manner for a thousand and one nights. Eventually the sultan realizes that he loves Scheherazade, and they live happily ever after. Modern versions of the Arabian Nights have appeared in almost all European languages as well as Hebrew, Yiddish, Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian, and Swahili. Some of the most famous stories, such as “Aladdin and the Magic Lamp,” have been made into cartoons and movies. Comment: Pages can have notes/highlighting.
