One Thousand and One Nights Tales 5928Words 2018-03-22
According to legend, in ancient times, on the island between ancient India and China, there was a kingdom of Sasan, whose king was Shannuya.King Shannuya wanted to marry a woman every day and spend the night in the palace, but every second day when the rooster sang, he brutally killed the woman. This continued for three years, year after year, and killed more than a thousand women. The people felt terrified under this threat, and took their daughters to flee for their lives, but the king still only cared about intimidating the prime minister, looking for women for him every day, for his pleasure and torture.Some women in the whole country died of the king's torture, some fled, and the city was empty, so that the prime minister searched the whole city, but could not find a woman.He returned to Xiangfu with fear and sadness.

The prime minister has two daughters, the eldest daughter is named Shan Ruzhuo, and the second daughter is named Duo Yade.Sang Ruzhuo is well-versed in literature, dignified in appearance, has read many history books, and has rich knowledge of national history.She has a collection of thousands of volumes of literature and history books.Seeing the prime minister returning home sadly, Shan Ruzod said to him: "Father! What are you worried about, and why are you troubled?" After listening to his daughter's words, the prime minister told her a story - in the former Sasang Kingdom, the old king was benevolent, righteous and brave, with a mighty army, a group of servants and slaves in the palace, and the country was peaceful and the people were peaceful.

The king had two sons, both gallant knights.The eldest son Shannuya is more brave than the younger son Saman, making the enemy frightened. After the eldest son Shannuya inherited the throne, he was deeply supported by the people because of his impartial governance.Saman was named the king of Samakandi.The two brothers governed the country impartially and modestly.The country continues to prosper and prosper, and the people live a happy life. One day, King Shannuya missed his younger brother and sent the prime minister to Samakandi to pick up his younger brother Saman to meet him.The prime minister took the order, set off, and soon came to the land of Samakandi.

Seeing Saman, the prime minister relayed King Shannuya's compliments, saying that the king missed him and hoped that he would go to Sasang to see him. Saman immediately replied, "Yes." So King Saman prepared tents, camels, and mules, assigned his servants, entrusted the administration of the state to his prime minister, and set out.After walking not far, he remembered that the gift was forgotten in the palace, so he turned back to the palace to get it.Unexpectedly, when he returned to the palace, he saw the queen and the musicians huddled together, playing, singing and playing.When King Saman saw this scene, his eyes suddenly became dark.

He thought: "I haven't left the capital yet, these sluts are making trouble like this. If I stay here for a long time, I don't know what will happen to these sluts!" Thinking of this, he drew his sword and killed The queen and the musician then hastily left the palace with grief.Along the way, he led his men and horses, crossed mountains and rivers, and marched towards Sasan Kingdom. When they were about to reach the capital, Saman sent someone to report to his brother, and King Shannuya greeted him out of the city. After the two brothers met, they greeted each other and were very happy.Shannuya specially decorated the city walls for his younger brother in the kingdom, and talked with him every day.

Saman was in a depressed mood. He was troubled by what his wife did, and he was depressed all day long, haggard and thinner day by day.Shannuya thought that his younger brother was troubled by sorrow, so he didn't ask much.But finally one day, Shannuya couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Brother, you look haggard and thin every day, why on earth?" "Brother! The pain in my heart is unspeakable." Saman kept silent about what happened to him. "Okay! Let's go hunting in the mountains together, maybe we can relieve our worries." Saman refused to go, so Shannuya led his troops to the mountains alone.

Saman stayed alone in the palace.Opposite the arcade of the palace where he lived is Shannuya's royal garden.That day when he looked out of the window, he saw the palace door open, and twenty court ladies and twenty servants filed into the garden. The noble queen of the Sasang Kingdom was also among them, dressed daintyly and eye-catchingly.They sat down one by one in front of the fountain, ate, sang and danced, and played until sunset. Seeing this, Saman was not surprised, and thought to himself: "Compared with this, my disaster is nothing!" Therefore, his distress disappeared.So he began to eat and drink, and regained his spirits.

Shannuya went back to the palace from hunting, chatted happily with his younger brother, and saw that he suddenly became rosy and had a strong appetite. He felt strange, so he asked, "brother, why did your face suddenly become rosy and radiant? What is it?" What's the matter? Please tell me." "A few days ago, my face was haggard. I can tell you the reason, but I can't tell you the reason why it is back to normal now. Please forgive me." "Okay, first tell me the reason why you are haggard and thin." Saman told his brother about his wife's betrayal, but Shannuya was not satisfied, he asked:

"Swear to Allah, you should tell me the reason for your recovery." Saman had no choice but to tell what he saw one by one.After hearing this, Shannuya said to his younger brother, "I want to prove all this with my own eyes." "If you pretend to lead your men into the mountains to hunt again, and then you quietly go back to the palace and hide in my room to spy, you will see the truth." Sure enough, King Shannuya immediately ordered to go hunting in the mountains. After he led his troops to camp in the outskirts, he quietly ordered his attendants in the tent: "Don't let anyone enter the tent." Then he quietly turned back to the palace and hid in Saman's room.He sat by the window, and after a while, he saw the queen, maids, and servants walking slowly into the garden.

They danced and laughed together until dusk.This scene is no different from what Saman said.King Shannuya saw it and was almost mad with anger. In his anger, he said to Saman: "Brother, this kind of thing has happened in our kingdom. We are ashamed to be kings anymore. Let's go, go out and relax, look elsewhere, and see who is more unfortunate than us in the world? If not, then We might as well be dead." Saman agreed with Shannuya's idea very much, so the two brothers sneaked out of the palace through the back door one night.After trekking for several days and nights, he reached a grassland next to the sea. They sat under a big tree to enjoy the shade and drank spring water to quench their thirst.About an hour later, there was a sudden storm on the sea, and the waves were suddenly rough. A black column rose from the waves and rose straight into the sky.Seeing this scene, the two brothers were frightened out of their wits, and quickly climbed up a big tree to hide.In an instant, a monster with a strong physique, a huge head, and shoulders as broad as a mountain rose up from the sea.I saw a box on his head, slowly rising out of the sea and onto the land.He went all the way to the big tree where Brother Shannuya was hiding and sat down, then opened the box, and took out a very slim and beautiful girl from it. The girl was smiling like the rising sun, just as the poet said:

When she pierces the darkness with light, the glorious day will appear. She sheds splendor and veils all things. In her colors the sun will shine brighter. Raise the curtain, she will appear instantly, and the universe will kneel to her. When her lightning-like eyes flickered, tears poured down like a torrential rain. The devil laughed grotesquely, and looked at the girl and said, "Life lady, I need rest, let me sleep." So he lay down and fell asleep with his head on the girl's lap. The girl raised her head and saw the two kings hiding in the tree. She gently lifted the devil's head and moved it to the ground. Then she got up immediately and went to the tree. She looked at them and gestured for them to come down. "Don't be afraid," she said. They both replied, "Swear to Allah, be patient and don't ask us to come down." "I swear to Allah, come down immediately! Otherwise, I will wake up the devil immediately and let him kill you severely." Shannuya and Saman were threatened by the girl and were very frightened, so they climbed down from the tree.The girl walked forward and said: "Come here, let us have a good time, otherwise, I will let the vicious devil kill you." Shannuya said to Saman in fear: "Brother, go hang out with her." "No, unless you do it first." Saman was reluctant to go, and both brothers refused the girl's request. "What are you winking for?" the girl got angry, "If you don't come again, I'll wake up the devil right away." Because of fear, the Shannuya brothers had to do as the girl asked, and the girl achieved her goal.She asked Shannuya and Saman to sit aside, took out a bag from her pocket, and took out a string of rings from it, a total of five hundred and seventy. She asked them to look at the rings, and pointed to the rings and asked: "Do you know where these come from?" "have no idea." "The owners of these rings met and made love to me when this devil slept. Now it's up to you two to give me rings." Shannuya and Saman had to follow the girl's instructions, take off the ring on their hands and hand it to her. The girl accepted the ring and said, "This devil snatched me on my wedding night. He hid me in a box, put the box in a box, locked it with seven locks, and put it on the rough seabed. This is Because he knows that nothing can stop us women from doing anything. As the poet said: Women can't be trusted, can't be trusted, their emotions are in their love and desire. ..." Shannuya and Saman were terrified when they heard the girl's blunt words.The two whispered quietly: "This devil with great powers was deceived by a woman and fell for him. It can be seen that there are more people who are more pitiful than us. In this way, this relieved us a lot." So The two brothers left the girl and set off home. They walked hard for several days and nights, and finally returned to Sasan Kingdom safely.They entered the palace and killed the unruly queen and treacherous maids and servants.From then on, Shannuya hated women deeply and deliberately took revenge. He began to marry a woman for one night every day, and then killed and married again the next day, completely becoming a tyrant. Shan Ruzod heard the story told by his father and said: "Father, swear to Allah, I will marry the king! Maybe after I enter the palace, I can try to live with him for a long time. I want to save thousands of women .” "No! By Allah, you must not take any chances." "Judging from the current situation, it is impossible not to do so." "You are so stubborn, don't you fear the same fate as the buffalo and the donkey?" "Papa, what happened to the buffalo and the donkey? Please tell me." "Okay!" ——Once upon a time, there was a businessman who not only had a solid family background and abundant capital, but also liked birds and animals and knew their language.He lives in a small village with his wife and children, raising a donkey and a buffalo. One day, the buffalo came to the donkey's stable and saw that the donkey had been scrubbed clean, lying down and resting comfortably, and the donkey's trough was piled with chopped grass and boiled chaff.The life of a donkey is very relaxed. The owner usually rides it out for a run when he has something to do, and returns home in a short while.The buffalo couldn't help being envious of the treatment of the donkey, so the buffalo and the donkey started talking.The master understood what they were talking about. I only heard the buffalo say to the donkey: "Congratulations, you are free and comfortable all day long. The master not only takes care of you, but also feeds you fine grass. Even if he asks you to work, he just rides you out for a walk and then turns back. but I toil all day long, finishing the work in the field, and grinding the mill at home at night." "You! When the farmer leads you to the field, you don't want him to yoke you, just jump around." The donkey advised the buffalo: "If he hits you, you will roll to the ground and can't get up; if he leads you Go home, don’t eat anything, pretend to be tired and pitiful, you only need to go on a hunger strike for three days, then you can stop doing heavy work and live a leisurely life like me.” That night, the buffalo really only ate a little forage. Early the next morning, the merchant's farmer led the oxen to plow the field, and the oxen were exhausted.The farmer couldn't help sighing: "Oh! It's all because it's working too much and too hard!" He immediately went to report to the merchant and said, "Tell the owner, the buffalo didn't eat anything last night, and now it's lying half dead in the stable." , can’t work.” The master knew the language of animals, so of course he understood what was going on, and said to the farmer, "Go, let the donkey plow the land instead of the buffalo." The donkey plowed the field all day and did not come back until evening.The buffalo was very grateful for this, because the donkey took care of it and allowed the buffalo to rest for a whole day, but the donkey was very frustrated. In the early morning of the next day, the farmer led the donkey to the field to continue farming as usual, and returned home very late.The donkey's shoulders were worn out and it was exhausted. When the buffalo saw it, it was pitiful and grateful. It kept praising it and saying good things to it. The donkey lamented and thought: "Now the master is going to tell me to work hard to the end. I'm asking for trouble!" Then it said to the buffalo: "I want to remind you, the master said that the buffalo can't get up, so it's better to send it to the water buffalo." Slaughter at the slaughterhouse. I'm really worried about you! Hurry up and find a way to save your life." After listening to the donkey's advice, the buffalo was very grateful, cheered up and said, "I'm going to be back to normal." So it jumped up, like a starving ghost, and started to chew. The conversation between the donkey and the buffalo was also heard by the merchant. The next morning, the merchant and his wife went to the donkey's stable, and the farmer happened to take the buffalo to plow the field.As soon as the buffalo sees its owner, it cheers up and flicks its tail, showing a happy and vigorous appearance.When the businessman saw this, he couldn't help laughing so hard that he almost fell down.His wife was puzzled and asked: "What are you laughing at?" "This is a secret, but I can't reveal it, because it involves a conversation between birds and beasts. If it is revealed, I will die." "I don't care about your life, but why you laugh, you must tell me the reason." "I can't tell the secret because I'm afraid of death." "You must be taunting me." The businessman's wife nagged and insisted on telling the reason why the businessman was laughing. The businessman couldn't bear it, so he decided to tell his wife these things.He told his son to call for a judge and witnesses, determined to write the will in public, tell the secret, and die.He didn't want his wife to be wronged, because his wife was his uncle's daughter and the mother of his children, so he had to sacrifice his life. He had always doted on her, not to mention that he had lived to be a hundred and twenty years old.At that time, he invited relatives, friends and neighbors, and explained his situation to them: as soon as he leaked the dialogue between birds and beasts, his life would end immediately.The relatives and friends present persuaded his wife one after another, saying: "Swear to Allah, give up this request, otherwise, the children will lose their father and you will lose your husband." "No, I won't give up. No matter what happens to him, I will know this secret." She was stubborn, and her relatives and friends couldn't help but look at each other, speechless.At this moment the merchant got up, left his friends and relatives, and went to bathe, ready to tell his secret and die. He had a dog, a rooster and fifty hens at home.As he passed the chicken coop, he heard the watchdog say to the rooster reproachfully: "Master is dying, what are you happy about?" "What's the matter? Tell me." asked the Rooster. The dog told the ins and outs of everything about it, and the rooster said, "I swear to Allah, why is the master so hard-working! Like me, I have fifty wives, and I don't want anyone I want. There is only one master." Wife, I can't discipline you! He should break a few mulberry sticks, lock her up and beat her hard, even if she doesn't kill her, he must tell her to admit her mistakes and repent, and never dare to do whatever she wants again. " The businessman was inspired, so he went to break some mulberry branches, hid them in the house, and said to his wife, "Come on, I will tell you the secret right away, and let me die in the house so that no one can see it." When the wife entered the room, the businessman immediately closed the door, took out mulberry sticks, and beat her one after another until she just begged for mercy and kept saying: "I was wrong! I repent! Forgive me!" She knelt on the ground and kept kissing her husband's feet.The husband and wife reconciled as before. After listening to the prime minister's story, Shan Ruzod said, "Father, although the donkey suffered a disaster to save the buffalo, it is a matter of life and death now, so I must insist that you send me into the palace." The prime minister couldn't stop his daughter's actions, so he had no choice but to prepare to send her into the palace to complete the mission the king gave him. Before leaving, Shan Ruzhuo said to Doyad: "Sister, after I enter the palace, someone will pick you up. When you come to me, tell me: 'Sister, please tell me a story. 'In this way, we can spend the night happily. I will take the opportunity to tell a moving story. By Allah's will, my story may save many lives." The prime minister reluctantly sent his daughter to the palace. When the king saw the stunningly beautiful girl, he couldn't help being overjoyed immediately, and rewarded the prime minister on the spot.When Shan Ruzod saw the king, he wept bitterly. "Why are you sad?" asked the king. "My lord, I have a younger sister. I hope that the lord will give me grace to meet her again and bid farewell to her." Fascinated by the girl, the king immediately agreed to her request and sent someone to fetch Doyard.When Doyad came to the palace, he saw his sister and hugged her happily. The two sat on the bed talking and laughing together.Doyad said: "Sister, swear to Allah, you must tell me a story, let us have a good night." "I am quite willing to speak, if the mighty king will allow it." The king had been restless and unable to fall asleep, but listening to Sister Sanruzo's conversation aroused his interest in listening to the story, so he readily agreed. So, the elder sister told a story to the younger sister. Shan Ruzod is a girl who is very good at telling stories. The stories she told immediately attracted King Shannuya and his younger sister Doyad. Stop immediately and stop talking.Sister Doyad said: "Sister! What a beautiful story you tell! How interesting!" Sister Shan Ruzhuo said: "If the king is kind enough to let me live, then next night I will have more interesting stories to tell than this!" Hearing this, the king thought to himself: "In the name of Allah, the Almighty God, this story is indeed very attractive. I will not kill her for the time being, and I will tell it after she finishes telling the story." The next morning, when the king came to court, the prime minister prepared the shroud. He thought he would collect the body for his daughter, but the king was busy dealing with political affairs and giving orders. Until the evening, the king did not ask him to find another woman to spend the night .The prime minister was very surprised by this. On the second night, Shan Ruzod, the prime minister's daughter, continued to tell her story until the rooster sang, and at the end, she said: "If the king is kind enough to let me live, then next night my story will be even better than this." Much more exciting!" The king agreed again. In this way, Shan Ruzod told a story every day, and the king thought every day: "I won't kill her for now, wait until she finishes telling the story." Day after day, Shan Ruzod’s stories were endless, each more exciting than the other, until the thousand and first nights, Shan Ruzod told a thousand and one stories in total, and finally moved the king.He said: "In the name of Allah, I am determined not to kill you. I am moved by your stories. I will record these stories and keep them forever." So, there is this book.
