Even though they were sisters, Suzie and June were nothing alike. If Suzie wanted to jump rope, June wanted to play hopscotch. If June wanted to watch soap operas, Suzie wanted to watch talk
shows. Tensions rose to the point that the girls could no longer (tand one another's company, It
seemed that they had nothing in common, until the day that progress reports went home. On the
bus the girls were startled by how upset the other looked. They realized that they were both
failing a subject. Suzie was failing math and June was failing reading. Since both girls wanted to
pass their classes, they agreed to help one another. So after school for the next few weeks, Suzie
tutored June in reading and then June tutored Suzie in math. By the time report cards were
distributed, Suzie and June were passing all their classes. The girls were delighted, but their
mother was happiest of all. Not just because her daughters had passed their classes, but because
they learned to be good sisters.

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
