The story starts off with two brothers. Shahrayar and shahzaman. Shahrayar was the older brother and ruled India and indochina. Shahzaman ruled Samarkand. Shahrayar missed his brother and wanted him to visit so he sent his right hand man to call him. His brother agreed to come and went to tell his wife goodbye and saw that she was already with someone else. He got nervous and worried and said that women clearly cant be trusted. The two brothers heard yelling and thought the sky was falling. They hid and were scared. There was a demon that pulled out a figure that was a beautiful woman. The woman told them if they both dont sleep with her she will wake up the demon to kill them. After much argument she basically forced them into her. After the act she also forced them to give her their ring because she takes a ring from every man she sleeps with. She now has a total of 100 rings. Towards the end there’s a story about a man who had a pet parrot as a secret spy for when he traveled and left his wife alone at home. He found out that the wife had a lover while the husband was away and he was very mad. The wife found out about this and she told the parrot not to tell him anything anymore. The husband then asked the parrot what happened and thought he was lying so he killed the poor parrot. However the neighbors then told the husband that the parrot wasn’t lying!
