BR 2-10: Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves


I read this book “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves” This story’s main character is Ali Baba who is a poor woodcutter. He has a brother named Kasim. Kasim is rich merchant. One day, Ali Baba spotted a band of horsemen into the woods. The leader said “Open sesame!” at a cliff, then a hole appeared in the rock. There are a lot of treasures. After the men returned, Ali Baba said “Open, sesame” and the hole appeared again. He got treasures a little. He became rich. Kasim asked him why he became rich. He taught Kasim hole of treasure. Kasim went to the hole at once and found many treasure. But he could go out of the hole because he forgot the password. Finally he was found by the thieves and he was killed. The thieves looked for Ali Baba to kill him. They tried to kill him several times, but they could not kill him. Ali Baba’s wife was very clever. She saved his life several times.

I think that it is bad thing to steal other person’s belongings. Ali Baba and Kasim might think it is good to steal these treasures because these treasures were stolen goods by the thieves.
