The king has made a promise to himself that he will kill every women he sleeps with to avoid being heartbroken. The king thinks that all women are unloyal and have evil sexual desires that they cannot control. The Kings vizier carries out the executions and is exposed to the Kings madness first hand. The viziers’s daughter tells her father that she plans to “calculate” a plan to sleep with the king and change his ways before he kills all the women of the city. The vizier is very upset and tell his daughter of a story between a donkey and an ox. The vizier is sure that she will fail and is highly against his daughters plan. The purpose of the viziers tale is to use a similar example to show his daughter that things don’t always workout the way you plan them. The vizier is using framing narrative to dissuade From sleeping with the king. I really enjoyed this form of writing because it gave me better insight and more clarity to the situation being discussed in the story. After reading the prologue as well as this tale the reader Can take away many lessons. The main lesson I took away from this story is to never judge a situation without having more insight on the topic at hand. I also learned that it is bad to generalize as all people are different and it is best to deal with situations in more specific less extreme way. I really enjoy reading works of literature that use this kind of narrative because it gives me more material to better grasps the writers concept.
