Embittered and shocked, he decides that all women are evil and therefore, every day, he will marry a girl and have her executed by his vizier the next morning. But the vizier?s clever daughter, Scheherazade, has a plan that may save the kingdom?s women: she volunteers herself as the sultan?s next bride. On their wedding night, Scheherazade tells an entertaining story and as soon as she finishes, she begins a new story. It is late into the night, but the new story is not finished. Wanting to hear the conclusion, the sultan postpones his wife's execution until the next day. The following night, Scheherazade finishes the previous story but again starts a new one, forcing the sultan to postpone her death for another night. This pattern continues for one thousand and one nights. The sultan eventually changes his opinions and marries Scheherazade. The tales are sophisticated and charming ? fantastic stories full of magic, wonder, and morals.
