Ali Baba was such a poor man that he had only had one shoe for his two feet. Even the mice in his house were hungry.
One day,
his wife said, " We have no food in the house. No rice. No potatoes. Go
and collect leaves in the forest so that I can make a soup."
Ali was
lazy man. He looked for leaves for about ten minutes and then he climbed a tree
to sleep. He was afraid of
wolves. When he woke up, he was surprised to see forty thieves on forty horses.
They stopped in front of a big rock.
Taken from |
"Close
Sesame!" and the door closed. As soon as the thieves had disappeared Ali
Baba jumped down from the tree, said, "Open Sesame" and went into the
cave.
There
were shelves all around the walls. The shelves were full of sacks. And the
sacks were full of gold. Ali took a sack home with him.
Unfortunately,
one of the thieves saw Ali's footprints on the sand. He followed them to Ali's
home. He took out his knife and made a cross on the door.
"Now
I shall know which house it is," he said. He rode off to get the other
thieves. But Ali had seen the thief. He and his wife took brooms and swept away
the footprints. Then he made crosses on every door at the street. When the
forty thieves arrived they had their knives between their teeth. But they
couldn't find either Ali – or the gold. And Ali and his wife lived happily ever
after.
