Orts #1001

. . . At the end of 1,001 nights, and 1,000 stories, Scheherazade told the king that she had no more tales to tell him. . . .

. . . another description, from somewhere on the internet to which I no longer have a working link:

Night after night, Scheherazade told another story, reaching the middle at dawn. Entranced by her stories, the king kept her with him, and 1,001 nights passed.

On night 1,001 she said, "After this I have no more stories."

But by then the king was in love with her, and thanks to her tales, he had become a wiser man, versed in the tales of this world.

And so he made Scheherazade his queen, and justice and kindness reigned once again.
