Thousand & One Nights: 126th Night: The Young Baghdad Man and Zubaida's Maid.

The Chief of the eunuchs started up from the sleep and cried out to the young lady, "Don't delay, you must open these chests." The chest that he was about to start was the one  which carried the young man. When they brought it to him the young man lost his senses, and wet until his urin began run out of the chest. The young lady said, "Chief, you have ruined me and ruined my merchants by spoiling the merchandise to Lady Zubaida. The chest contains coloured dress, and a jar of Zam-zam water. The jar has just tipped over and the waters will make the colours run." 
The chief of the eunuchs said, "Take the chest and go." But hardly had the eunuchs carried the chest and hurried away with all other chests came a voice, "O my, the Caliph, the Caliph!"  The Caliph asked the young lady, "What is in this chests of yours?" She replied, "Clothes for the Lady Zubaida." He uttered, "Open them and let me see," The young lady replied, "Clothes for the Lady Zubaida." He said, "Open, let me see."
O the Commander of the Faithful, these chests contain the clothes and belongings of Lady Zubaida, and she does not wish their contents to be seen by anyone." But the Caliph was adamant, "You must open these chests, so that I may see what is in them. Bring them to me." 
The eunuchs brought the chests up. Opening them one by one, and the Caliph seeing them, there remained only the chest that contained the young Baghdad man. It was brought up to the Caliph. "Open the chest," said the Caliph. The eunuch rushed to open the chest.

The morning overtook Shahrazad, and she lapsed into silence.

( 16 )CHARLES DICKENS: DAVID COPPERFIELD: CHAPTER 16: I AM A NEW BOY IN MORE SENSES THAN ONE

Next morning, after breakfast, I entered on school life again.  I went, accompanied by Mr Wickfield to the scene of my future studies- a grave building in a courtyard, with a learned air about it that suited very well to the stray rooks and jackdaws who came down from the Cathedral tower to walk with a clerkly bearing on the grass plot - and was introduced to my new master, Doctor Strong. Doctor Strong looked almost as rusty, to my thinking, as the tall iron rails and gates outside the house; and almost as stiff and heavy as the great stone urn that flanked them, and were set up, on the top of red brick wall, at regular distances all round the court, like sublimated skittles for Time to play at.  Doctor Strong was in his library, with his clothes not particularly well brushed, and his hair not particularly combed, his knee-small unbraced, his long black gaiters unbuttoned, and his shoes  yawning like two caverns on the hearth-rug.  Turning upon me a lustreless eye, t...

Thousand & One Nights: 70th Night

Harun al Rashid on his roaming the country side, saw a fisherman who did not have any catch for the day and worried about his family's bread. The Caliph had brought him to the banks of Tigris and asked him to throw the net. When they pulled the net the catch was a locked heavy chest. The Caliph paid him one hundred dinars. The chest was taken to the palace. Now the story to continue: When the chest was opened there was a girl. She had been cut into nineteen pieces. The Caliph looked at her, felt very sad, and turned to Ja'far and said angrily, "You, dog of a vizier, people are being killed and thrown into river in my city while I take the responsibility of Doomsday. If you do not find her killer, I will hang you and forty of your kin with you." "O Commander of the Faithful, give me three days."Ja'far said. Ja'far went into the city, vexed, worried and sad. He had no idea what to do. He thought to himself, "Where shall I find the murderer?" ...

Thousand & One Nights: 66th Night:

When the wind began to blow, we set sail, and we sat chatting, my sisters asked me, "Sister, what will you do with this young man?" I replied, "I will make him my husband." Then I turned to him and said, "O My lord, when we reach Baghdad, I offer myself to you, and we will be husband and wife." The young man replied, "Yes, indeed, for you are my lady, and my mistress." I turned to my sisters and said, "Whatever goods we have are yours, my only reward is this young man. He is mine and I am his." We sailed under fair wind until we entered Sea of Safety and began to approach Basra. Night came. The young man and I fell asleep. My two sisters turned green with envy over him and harboured ill will towards me. They had been waiting patiently to get an opportunity. They carried me in my sleep, with my bed and threw me into the sea. They did the same to the young man. He was drowned. I wish I had drowned with him. But I was escaped. I was cast o...
