Celeste dreaded passing through Miranda Perot's house on her way to the school. Miranda had a way of gazing at a person and making him or her feel nervous. Celeste
always felt that she wore a wrong color or she forgot to wash her hair when her eyes
met Miranda's. This was not the case a few years ago. Celeste and Miranda used to
walk hand in hand and share their lunches at school. Now, they spoke less and hung
out with different crowds.
It was another dreaded Monday morning and Celeste was walking to the bus. She
felt something was not right. Waking up from a nightmare and burning the toast for
breakfast had made Celeste jittery. She felt as if it was taking hours to cross the road
and reach the bus stop. Suddenly, something grabbed Celeste by the collar and pulled
her aside. A reckless driver had almost hit her, and she was saved just in time. Celeste
was jittery all over again. When she turned around to thank the stranger, she saw a
familiar face smiling at her.
"Mention not," Miranda abruptly said. She grabbed Celeste's backpack that had
fallen on the road and gestured her to move on.

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.
