Entertaiment is an important aspect of family life, and helps children to grow up into healthy adults. It also provides a break from the drudgery of everyday work and a way to relax with friends. Entertainment can take many forms, from the story of Scheherazade (a figure in Persian professional storytelling tradition) inspiring orchestral works by Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel and Szymanowski, to a film adaptation of the story by Pasolini and innovative video games.
