Excerpt
When Shehrzad had made an end of the history of King Omar teen Ennuman and his sons, Shehriyar said to her, ?I desire that thou tell me some story about birds;? and Dunyazad, hearing this, said to her sister, ?All this while I have never seen the Sultan light at heart till this night; and this gives me hope that the issue may be a happy one for thee with him.? Then drowsiness overcame the Sultan; so he slept and Shehrzad, perceiving the approach of day, was silent.
