World Famous Children's Literature: One Thousand and One Nights

"World Classics of Children's Literature: One Thousand and One Nights": According to legend, a long time ago, there was an island country called Sasan Kingdom between China and India. King Shanruyar reigned for 20 years. He governed the country well and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. One day, the king accidentally discovered that the queen was having fun with her slaves. He was furious and suspected that the queen was disloyal to him, so he killed the queen. From then on he hated women and vowed to take revenge on all women. He decided to marry a woman every day and kill her again the next day. The entire capital was filled with an atmosphere of terror. Although the prime minister responsible for finding a woman for the king was dissatisfied with the king's tyrannical behavior, there was nothing he could do about it. Finally, he could not find any more women to send to the palace. His eldest daughter Scheherazade was a smart man. After hearing and witnessing what the king had done, she decided to use her intelligence to save all the women, so she volunteered to marry the king. After Scheherazade entered the palace, she begged the king to allow her to meet her sister. The king sent someone to fetch Scheherazade's sister. The younger sister followed her elder sister's instructions in advance and asked her elder sister to tell her a story. The king was very curious, so he concentrated on listening. So on the first night of the Thousand and One Nights, Scheherazade began to tell stories. The king was deeply fascinated, and when the story came to a head, the sky was breaking. The king was still unsatisfied and couldn't bear to kill her. He thought to himself: I will kill you after you finish telling your story tomorrow. On the second night, Scheherazade continued to speak, and again firmly captured the king's curiosity. From then on, he told the king one beautiful story after another. These stories fascinated the king so much that he was reluctant to kill her every day. The king was finally moved by her story, stopped killing women, and grew old with Scheherazade. The king also ordered the historian to record the story told by Scheherazade and name it "One Thousand and One Nights".
