*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheherazade <u>Scheherazade</u>] was the storyteller from ''1001 Arabian Nights'' - her story is the framing sequence. She was married off to the Sultan who killed one wife every night. Every night, she would tell him one fairy tale, but time it just so it didn't end before the night was over, and the Sultan had to let her live another night to hear the end of the story - and then she put another story inside the story she was telling.
