There once was a sultan who, upon his death, divided his domain between his two sons, Shahryar and Shah Zaman, and into two kingdoms. The brothers married two beautiful women and left to rule their respective domains. Although they lived far apart, they were still the best of friends and visited each other often. One time when Shah Zaman was visiting Shahryar, Shahryar noticed how unhappy his brother was. When asked the reason, Shah Zaman confessed he had caught his wife cheating on him with another man, and in his rage, he had killed both his wife and the other man. Now suspicious of women, Shah Zaman discovered that Shahryar’s wife was also cheating on Shahryar. Shahryar was furious. He ordered the execution of his wife and from then on married a new woman each night and killed her each morning before she could betray him. The kingdom trembled in fear of Shahryar’s wrath, until Scheherazade, the vizier’s daughter, volunteered to become Shahryar’s wife. When her night came, she cleverly asked Shahryar for one last wish, to see her younger sister, Dunyazad. Upon arrival, Dunyazad, prompted by her sister beforehand, begged Scheherazade for a story.By the light of the moon, Scheherazade told a story so witty and interesting that when dawn broke and the story was only half done, Shahryar allowed her to live another night to finish her story. In this way, Scheherazade spent 1001 nights telling stories that were romantic, epic, moralistic, ridiculous, and righteous. Through these stories, Shahryar forgot his hate, became a compassionate monarch again, and relearned how to love with Scheherazade. He taught these lessons to his brother, Shah Zaman, who also forgave, and eventually married Dunyazad and they live happily ever after.
