My favorite stories within stories:
1) In the Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer is The Reeve's Tale. Check out a brief summary at this URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Reeve%27s_Prologue_and_Tale.

(He sure would look good on a dollar bill! haha)
2) The Wizard of Oz. Dorthy takes the fall that sends her to the land of Oz. There of course is two stories going on in this. The story of Dorthy's life in Kansas, and her mysterious action filled life in Oz.




3) The story of creation in The Metamorphoses of Ovid.

Michelangelo "The Creation of Adam"

Not necessarily pertaining to the text, but a visual of a type of "creation."
