A discordância da autora embasa-se no pormenor de que o autor deixa<br />

claro em “Metáforas de Las mil y una noches” que a rainha conta ao rei<br />

a já esquecida “História de los dos.” (v. 56) 181 Esta, seria então<br />

reiniciada no trecho que se transcreve abaixo, o qual, entretanto consta<br />

no segundo volume e não no sexto das Supplemental nights:<br />

King Shahryar marvelled at this history and said,<br />

“By Allah, verily, injustice slayeth its folk! And<br />

he was edified by that wherewith Shahrazad<br />

story and this shall be the completion of the storytelling,”<br />

gladness! It hath reached me, O auspicious King,<br />

that a man once declared to his mates, I will set<br />

attained to security against annoy, and the origin<br />

of it was other than this; that is, it was the<br />

following: [“The tale of the two kings and the<br />

wazir’s daughters”]. 182<br />

ao prólogo moldura do livro do que a da Noite 602. Nesse conto não há<br />

só a coincidência de dois irmãos que vivenciam a aventura com uma<br />

jovem pertencente a um gênio, mas também a de que a ocasião em que<br />

eles a encontram se dá durante o afastamento de ambos do reino, exílio<br />
