criticism.
This study attempts to investigate the tale of (Tawaddod, the
Maid), one of the tales of Thousand and One Nights. It is an educational
tale that is different in style from the tales of the entire collection, such an
educational ballad and a variety of knowledge embedded in a book of
poetry of a good quality. The study is twofold: the historic part that
highlights the tales of Thousand and One Nights, as of the name, history
and origin, the views of Arab historians and orientalists, and the impact
of the Persian, Greek and Arabic on these tales. The second one is the
applied part that introduces Tawaddod, the maid, as a model. The
researcher presents a summary of the tale, its history, objectives, narrative
structure, language, and technical means used in it.
