  {} Elena Navrotskaya, 2001


  In a very (well, really!) East
the country lived a very proud beauty -
delight the eyes of the faithful.

  Her face - as the full moon, her skin - as
ripe peach, and his eyes - the stars in the heavens;
brows - arched, as the Arc de Triomphe,
is that of the infidels out of favor, her lips,
A pair of garnet; teeth - a pearl sea; chest - like a ripe 
watermelon, her hands - Branches of the willow; her feet - the 
minarets of Baghdad, her buttocks - vineyards Jerusalem; her 
feet - the pieces of marble, her breathing - boiled milk and 
honey; waist is it - aspen, and called that a beautiful woman - 
Scheherazade, Allah prolong her age! 

  Shah of the country - may Allah have mercy on him! - Could 
not choose a wife. Stay the night with her ... and in the 
morning of execution. Choose a new, stay - and the penalty. Oh, 
and healers - from the infidels, but fail them to Satan! - He 
delivers, but not helped by the doctor. Told this wicked, that 
de, they say, the Shah - the Oedipus complex, and choose it, 
de, his wife, the mother looks like ... Long talk with him did 
not, For his speech to listen to evil worthless

was the Shah - cut off the head wizard, and rightly so!

  M visit that Scheherazade - yes no
fade its beauty for all eternity! - Decided
to help the emperor. Was it to him in a marble palace, with 
gold and silver Jeweled, precious stones outside, but inside - 
carpeted with Persian, in whom the foot sinks ankle-deep, but 
the Chinese silk pillows, soft as a dream odalisques laden with 
crockery fine china - so thin,

that compared with him can only waist dancers Zulfiya in 
teahouses old Abdullah ibn Rashid - yes send him to Allah only

Good visitors! - And uttered the following
sweet to the ear of any man - yes no
run out the real men in the East!
- Speech:

  - Oh, great master! Thy wisdom
is incomparable with the wisdom of the snake, the beauty of your
incomparable with krasoyu sun, thy strength is not comparable 
with the power of a lion! Light of my eyes, and the sweetness 
of my heart, let me be thy wife! I obovyu you as a climber

palm tree, that brings us sweet dates, I
thickening your hunger, quenches your thirst like sherbet
Wanderer, weary of the desert heat, I will
love you forever, until our universe is not
collapses to the original point, generated by a tear of Allah! 
Oh, my dear sir Sir, order only, and I will fulfill your

any command!

  Shah marveled at the mind of the Moon-faced girl, and even 
more - for its beauty, rasstrogalsya and said the following 
speech, sweet to the ear of every woman, because a woman likes 
ears - yes not run out of real women in the East!


  - Oh, Turkish delight my soul! Tender nougat
my stomach! Kozinaki my heart!
Paradise houris would die of envy, looking
on your face. Nothing compares to thy
beauty, even me. I'll take you to their wives, but you know the 
conditions? 

  - Yes, my lord, I know! But I agree
at all, just to be close to you, my fleet-footed mountain goat!

  And that same night, Scheherazade entered the bedchamber Shah.

  - Well, than loans, the beautiful? - Asked the Shah and held 
out his hand to the mighty hairy veiled woman, but she gently 
pushed his hand and said: 

  - Oh, my vozlyubenny later! At first I
tell you a story.

  Shah was intrigued: a lot of things outlandish get up with 
him earlier - unlucky - the wives, but none of them he has not 
yet telling tales. He lay down comfortably on

satin mattresses, put his finger in his mouth and
prepared to listen.

  Scheherazade, meanwhile, pulled an alarm clock, took him and 
began to affect: 

  - Well, my lord vozlyubenny case
was back in town, whose name
is: Santab al-Bara. Lived there for a rich man - Sisi ibn 
Capwell, and were in his wife ...


  At dawn, the bell alarm clock, and Scheherazade, bowed and 
said: 

  - It's morning, Lord. I stop permitted say.

  Shah already pulled his finger out of his mouth:

  - Y, Satan! The most interesting place!

  Scheherazade as he says:

  - If the light of my eyes and the darkness of my nights
will allow, I will continue the next night!

  Shah agreed: painfully he wanted to know what happened there 
on a Ibn Capwell and his harem.


  And come to him Scheherazade - yes Allah reward her sharp 
mind! - A thousand and one night, and shew him my tale. And when

completed, the Shah of it is not executed because
his mother - bless her soul with God! -
also shew him in childhood stories.

  So they have since healed, and together, Scheherazade was the 
beloved wife because other wives of the Shah, it was not.


  And what to drink - is up to you!
