Arabian Nights

Have you ever read Arabian Nights?  I read it to find stories to tell Luke and Sarah in school.  Some of the stories are too scary, so I modify them, but most are fine.  It is about a girl who marries a vengeful king who intends to have her killed the morning after their marriage to insure her fidelity.  But the girl has a plan to save her own life.  She tells the king a bedtime story, leaving out the ending, so that he will let her live another day in order to hear the end of the story.  Her plan works so well that after 1,001  nights of stories, the king falls in love with the girl and lets her live.
