4 PUZZLES<br />

One Thousand and One Nights by Anonymous<br />

One Thousand and One Nights is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled<br />

in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as<br />

the Arabian Nights, from the first English-language edition, which rendered the title<br />

as The Arabian Nights’ Entertainment.<br />

The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and<br />

scholars across West, Central, and South Asia and North Africa. Some tales themselves<br />

trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Greek, Indian,<br />

Jewish and Turkish folklore and literature. In particular, many tales were originally<br />

folk stories from the Abbasid and Mamluk eras, while others, especially the frame<br />

story, are most probably drawn from the Pahlavi Persian work Hezār Afsān, which in<br />

turn relied partly on Indian elements.<br />

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of<br />

the ruler Shahryār and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated<br />

throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some<br />

are framed within other tales, while others begin and end of their own accord. Some<br />

editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The<br />

bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used for songs and riddles<br />

and to express heightened emotion. Some of the stories commonly associated<br />

with The Nights, in particular “Aladdin’s Wonderful Lamp”, “Ali Baba and the Forty<br />

Thieves”, and “The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor”, were not part of The Nights<br />

in its original Arabic versions but were added to the collection by Antoine Galland<br />

and other European translators.<br />

HEARING AID<br />

TECHNOLOGY<br />

For Less Than $ 200<br />

“I was amazed!<br />

Sounds I hadn’t<br />

heard in years<br />

came back to me!”<br />

— Don W., Sherman, TX<br />

How can a hearing aid that costs less than $ 200<br />

be every bit as good as one that sells for $2,250 or more?<br />

The answer: Although tremendous strides have been made in<br />

Advanced Hearing Aid Technology, those cost reductions have<br />

not been passed on to you. Until now...<br />

MDHearingAid ® uses the same kind of Advanced Hearing Aid Technology incorporated into<br />

hearing aids that cost thousands more at a small fraction of the price.<br />

Over 300,000 satisfied MDHearingAid customers agree: High-quality, FDA-registered hearing<br />

aids don’t have to cost a fortune. The fact is, you don’t need to spend thousands for a<br />

hearing aid. MDHearingAid is a medical-grade hearing aid offering sophistication and high<br />

performance, and works right out of the box with no time-consuming “adjustment”<br />

appointments. You can contact a licensed hearing specialist conveniently online or by phone<br />

— even after your purchase at no cost. No other company provides such extensive support.<br />

Now that you know...why pay more?<br />

Can a Hearing Aid Delay or Prevent Alzheimer’s and Dementia?<br />

A study by the National Institute on Aging suggests older individuals with<br />

hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop Alzheimer’s and<br />

dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. They suggest that<br />

an intervention — such as a hearing aid — could delay or prevent this by<br />

improving hearing!<br />
