Mil e uma noites

I read in a book an impressive story
The story was like this
Once upon a time there was a somewhat crazy king, when he decided to get married
He chose the most beautiful young woman in his kingdom
And he would marry and kill the poor girl on the same night

The beautiful young women lived in fear of dying
Until one day, a very beautiful and very clever young woman said like this
I will defeat the king
And her friends were scared
But you will die
I won't die, I will win! I have a plan, you'll see

Do you know what she did?

She married the crazy king and on the first night
Before sleeping, she told a long story
When it came to an end, the king asked
Tell more, go on! Tell more, go on!
But the rooster crowed, it was already dawn and she said
My king, tomorrow I'll tell more!

And every night, it was a new story
She told, she told, she told
She told the story of Aladdin
(The one where the boy finds a wonderful lamp, rubs it and the genie grants him 3 wishes)
She told the story of Ali Baba
(And the 40 thieves who kept their treasures in a cave that to open you had to say: open sesame!)
She told the story of Sinbad, the sailor
(Who was almost eaten by a giant with one eye, almost died 3 times, but 3 times he returned home very rich)

Do you know how many stories she told?
One thousand and one
One thousand and one nights
One thousand and one
One thousand and one nights
One story per night, do the math
2 and a half years, leading the crazy king on the nose
