153rd Night

In the town of Baghdad a tailor worked in a rented shop that was located across from a very rich man who had a mill below his house. One day, the tailor was looking out the window and saw a beautiful woman. All day he was thinking of her as his heart showed love. The next day he sat in the same spot to look for this beautiful woman. After awhile she came, but he went home sad because she didn't come to see him. The third day he sat by the window again. This time when she saw him looking at her, she smiled and he smiled back. Soon her maid came to him with fine linen wrapped in a handkerchief. The maid said that her lady sends greetings to him and asks him to sew a blouse from the material. Immediately he worked on the blouse and soon finished it that night. The next morning the maid came back and said that the lady was thinking of him and she asks him to sew some trousers. Immediately he worked on the trousers and finished them. The lady took both items home that he sewed for her. The next morning the maid came and said that her master wants to see him. She assured him that it was good and the he shouldn't be afraid. He asked the tailor to sew some shirts from the cloth.
