For example, this genre of tales has been especially popular in the Jewish stories of the Middle East, having been influenced by the structure and contents of Arabic literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eStories within Stories\u003c\/i\u003e contains fifty stories, mostly made up of folktales.
