The Story of One Day and One Night is a collection of Arabic folk stories, also known as Arabian Nights. According to legend, there was a Sasan kingdom between ancient India and China. King Ruyal was cruel and jealous, so he killed the queen because of her bad behavior. After that, he married a girl every day and killed her the next morning as revenge. Scheherazade, the daughter of the Prime Minister, volunteered to marry the king to save the innocent woman and attract the king by telling stories. Every night, at dawn, the king couldn't bear to kill her and allowed her to continue talking the next night. Her story has been told for 1001 nights, and the king was finally moved to grow old with her. Gorky praised it as "the most magnificent monument" in the history of world folk literature because of its rich content and large scale.
