All of the stories are complicated, with stories within stories that are reminiscent of Shakespeare’s plays within a plan.
I had also learned how Scheherazade used her stories to keep the sultan from executing her, however, until I read the whole book, it wasn’t clear how she managed to link the stories together. I had heard, read, or seen versions of the most well-known stories from 1001 Arabian Nights. However, there are a few things that are I am like many people. I ate of the fruits, which I found excellent and drank of the water, which was very light and good.more I found trees everywhere, some of them bearing green and others ripe fruits, and streams of fresh pure water. I sat down upon the grass, to recover myself from my fatigue, after which I went into the island to explore it. I myself was of the number of the latter but, as I came up again, I fortunately caught hold of a piece of the wreck, and swimming, sometimes with one hand and sometimes with the other, but always holding fast the plank, the wind and the tide favoring me, I came to an island, and got safely ashore. The mariners and passengers were all crushed to death or fell into the sea. The other so exactly hit the middle of the ship as to split it into pieces. When they came directly over my ship, they hovered, and one of them let go his rock but by the dexterity of the steersman it missed us and fell into the sea. They soon returned, and we observed that each of them carried between its talons an enormous rock. They flew back in the direction they had come, and disappeared for some time, while we made all the sail we could in the endeavor to prevent that which unhappily befell us. The two rocs approached with a frightful noise, which they redoubled when they saw the egg broken, and their young one gone. The captain of my ship, knowing by experience what they meant, said they were the male and female parents of the roc, and pressed us to re-embark with all speed, to prevent the misfortune which he saw would otherwise befall us. Scarcely had they finished their repast, when there appeared in the air, at a considerable distance, two great clouds.
