Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves

              Once there was a wood cutter. His name was Ali Baba. He lived in Arabia. One day he went to cut wood in a dense forest. It was at the foot of a mountain. Suddenly he heard a fearful sound. He saw some men on horseback approaching. He had himself behind a tree and watched them. They were the forty thieves. They stopped near a cave. It was closed with a stone door. One of them said, “Open Sesame”. Immediately the door opened. All the thieves went in. After sometime they came out. One of them told, “Close Sesame”. The door immediately closed. Then the robbers rode away. Ali Baba wanted to see what there was in the cave. He came near the cave and said, “Open Sesame”. The door opened and Ali Baba went in. He was surprised to see gold and jewels lying heaped there. He took as much as he could. He came out and closed the door saying, “Close Sesame”. Ali Baba then became very reach.
