Question
Description acceptable. In this story, two men in a tree watch what looks like a massive black pillar emerge from the sea. A man in this story threatens to beat his child the same way that a merchant beat his wife, on his rooster’s advice, after she nagged him about the words spoken by their animals. Shortly thereafter in this story, a woman emerges from a locked glass box carried by a demon and shows off the rings taken from her hundred lovers. While searching for a lost string of jewels, a (*) king in this story uses one strike of his sword to kill his adulterous wife and black cook. A father in this story tells the “Tale of the Bull and the Ass” in an effort to dissuade his daughter from marrying his employer; that brother of Shah Zaman orders the daily execution of each of his virgin brides. For 10 points, identify this story in which Shahriyar marries Scheherazade, leading into the first of her nightly tales. ■END■
