"One Thousand and One Nights" is a collection of Arabic folk tales, also known as Arabian Nights. According to legend, there was a Sassan Kingdom between India and China in ancient times. King Shanruyar was cruel and jealous by nature. He killed his queen because of her misbehavior. After that, he married a girl every day and killed her the next morning as revenge. In order to save the innocent woman, Scheherazade, the daughter of the prime minister, voluntarily married the king and attracted the king by telling stories. She told the most exciting part every night. It was just dawn and the king couldn't bear to kill her, so he allowed her to continue telling the story the next night. Her story has been told for one thousand and one nights, and the king was finally moved and grew old together with her. Because of its rich content and grand scale, it was praised by Gorky as "the most magnificent monument" in the history of world folk literature.

It's pretty good. The voice that tells stories is very gentle, because I have a little difficulty sleeping and I'm prone to insomnia. I need a little bit of sound. It's pretty good to listen to stories. I fall asleep listening to them every night.
