Reading Part B The Tales of the Parrot

Reading Part B: The Merchant whose Daughter was Lost
Bibliography: Tales of a Parrot unit. Story source: The Tooti Nameh or Tales of a Parrot, by Ziya'al-Din Nakhshabi (1801). Link to Story

As soon as I read the title of this story I immediately thought of the Movie 'Taken' with Liam Neeson. I think if I was to choose this story that I would make it similar to the movie and add some more action to it while keeping a similar storyline to the original story. I would probably make the daughter someone that traveled to a differnt country and all of the men there thought she was the most beautiful thing they had ever seen. Instead of the dad being in America like in the movie I will make him an important public figure. I think having this perspective will make it a little more interesting. Maybe instead of the men who are courting her rescuing her I may have the dad go FBI agent on them and he would rescue her.

I have grown up an OU fan and always look forward to the hustle and bustle that game day brings. I am really sad that this will be my last y...

Her eyes were sparking, her teeth were pearly white, and on top of that she had a wonderful personality that drew everyone to her.  Zerah was always the talk of the town.

Her father was worried about her safety so he sent two men with her to protect her along her journey.
