10、ng great-grandchild made some money by showing people the wondrous moving rock,but the novelty soon wore off.He spent the rest of his days living in the empty cave.After he expired,there was no one left to remember the magic words,and the rock never moved again.4Chapter 1Many moons ago in a small to

11、wn in Persia,a father divided his belongings equally between his two young sons,Cassim and Ali Baba.Although their property was equally divided,in no way would fortune treat them alike.Cassim married Vashti,the widow of a wealthy innkeeper,and managed their inn.While husband and wife were prosperous

12、,they hardly saw each other in the large mansion they shared in town.Ali Baba,on the other hand,was wed to Fatima,the daughter of a poor shepherd,and was employed as a woodcutter.They resided in a shack but nevertheless shared a life full of love and happiness.One warm summer afternoon deep in the f

13、orest adjacent to the town,Ali Baba was chopping wood to sell.As he swung his axe into the trunk of a tree,the ground began to rumble,startling Ali,and he promptly recognized the sound of horses hoovesmany horses,by the sound of it,and they were approaching fast!Grabbing his axe,Ali quickly scaled a

14、 tree and hid in its leafy foliage.There he silently watched and waited.21Chapter 10The thieves were tried and sent to faraway prisons,where their stories of a magical cave filled with plunder were treated as imaginative fairy tales.As promised,Ali Baba gave Morgiana ample gold to return to her home

15、land and live the rest of her days comfortably.Vashti begged her to stay,promising her more riches and even the secret of the caves locale if she would continue as Vashtis servant.Morgiana politely declined the offer and left.Being a shrewd woman,she used the gold to establish a trading business tha

16、t kept her family affluent for generations to come.Once Morgiana had departed,Ali Baba,Fatima,and Vashti returned to the cave again and again,taking more and more riches.They passed its secret location and the magic words needed to enter it on to their children,who lived satisfactorily with what rem

17、ained of the treasure.By the time Ali Baba,Fatima,and Vashtis great-grandchildren were born,inevitably there was no treasure left.Ali Baba Level Z25From this vantage point,Ali saw no fewer than forty men on horseback come into view and halt not far from his hiding place.He watched as they dismounted

18、,tied up their horses,and boosted heavy saddlebags onto their shoulders.Scrutinizing their unsavory look,Ali theorized that the men were robbers and the saddlebags contained stolen loot.The group congregated below the shade of a tree that had a large,craggy boulder at its base.Their leader was obvio

19、us,for he towered over the others and looked even crueler than the other querulous men.As he approached the boulder,he uttered a strange phrase“Open,sesame!”Ali Baba Level Z220Morgiana addressed the captain and explained,“There is a thief posing as an oil merchant at my masters house.He schemes to r

20、elease his men from these barrels and rob and murder us tonight.”The soldiers first laughed at this outrageous tale,but then they broke open one of the barrels to find a confused,and dizzy,robber armed to the teeth.As one group of soldiers set about opening the barrels and arresting the woozy robber

21、s,Morgiana led the captain and his men to the mansion.6As soon as the man spoke,the boulder swiftly slid to the side to reveal a cave.What kind of magic am I witnessing?Ali thought as the thieves hurriedly disappeared inside the cave.Ali Baba held his breath as his mind raced:This must be their secr

22、et hideaway!Eventually,the men and their leader exited the cave.He heard the leader call out,“Close,sesame!”and observed as the boulder slid back to mask the caves entrance.The men then hastily mounted their horses and galloped out of the forest.Chapter 2Flabbergasted,Ali Baba lingered in the tree u

23、ntil he resolved that it was safe to move again.Then he gingerly descended and stood in front of the concealed rock door as sweat trickled down his forehead and face,dripping onto his already soaked tunic.Curiosity made him want to speak the words and see what lay within the cave,while fear of the t

24、hieves return held him at bay.At last,Ali Baba willed himself to recite the magic words“Open,sesame.”The boulder creaked and then slid open to reveal a sight so magnificent that Ali nearly fell to his knees.19The thieves plan materialized in Morgianas mind like puzzle pieces falling into place.She s

25、miled tactfully and apologized for her clumsiness before leading the man to the dining room,where Ali Baba entertained the oil merchant.Her repeated attempts to pull Ali Baba from the room were met with dismissive gestures,as he was enraptured with one of the merchants enchanting anecdotes.Exasperat

26、ed at Ali Babas foolishness and suppressing an urge to chide him,Morgiana left the room and contemplated her next step.Then she surreptitiously gathered all the servants,told them about the robbers hiding in the barrels,and instructed them to find all the glue they could.They reconvened in the yard,

27、where they silently glued the barrels closed.Then,one by one,they rolled the barrels out of the yard and down the hill to where the city soldiers stood guard.Ali Baba Level Z27The cave wasnt shadowy and gloomy,as he had expected,but spacious and well lit by a crack in the ceiling where sunlight pour

28、ed in.Gathering his wits,Ali looked around at the bags upon bags of gold and silver coins,stacks of fine silk rugs,and chests overflowing with colorful gems.From the sheer amount of treasure in the cave,Ali Baba surmised that the robbers must have built up the stash over generations.Surely they wont

29、 notice a few missing bags of gold and jewels,Ali thought.He gathered what treasure he could carry and exited the cave.Outside,he called,“Close,sesame,”and the boulder slid back.Ali Baba Level Z218Chapter 9As Morgiana prepared dinner that night,her lantern went out.“Good thing Ali Baba purchased som

30、e oil,”she remarked to herself.She went out to the yard and selected a barrel from which to get oil.She turned the spigot.No oil.She tried the next barrel and was pleased to find it worked.As she finished filling her lantern,she heard something move inside one of the barrels.Then she heard a barely

31、audible grunt and a muffled cough.Despair crept up Morgianas spine as she headed back into the house,where she nearly collided with the oil merchants assistant.In the moment of surprise,the assistant forgot to cover himself,and Morgiana instantly recognized him as the holy man from the previous day.

32、She realized why she had intuitively felt uneasy earlier.8Chapter 3Fatima observed her husband carrying stuffed bags into their humble abode.These dont look like wood,she reflected.Beckoning her to sit beside him,Ali emptied the bags into a heap of gold coins and jewels on the floor.Fatimas eyes bec

33、ame wide.“Whom did you rob?”she gasped.Ali Baba replied,“I am no robber,unless one who steals from robbers is also himself a robber.”Fatima raised an eyebrow as he commenced to tell her the whole story.Ali Baba and Fatima discussed what they should do with their newfound wealth.They couldnt spend it

34、 freely without raising suspicions.They would bury it in their garden,but they decided to weigh it first to estimate its worth.So Fatima went to Vashti and Cassims mansion and asked to borrow a scale to weigh grain.Vashti was skeptical about how the destitute Ali Baba and Fatima would have enough gr

35、ain to warrant measuring with a scale,so she placed a bit of suet underneath the scale.Whatever they were weighing would stick to the suet.Later,when Fatima returned the scale,the astonished Vashti discovered a gold coin stuck to the bottom.Where could Ali Baba and Fatima have found such a treasure?

36、17Chapter 8The next day,the leader of the thieves posed as an oil merchant,and the robber who had posed as the holy man was disguised as his helper.They knocked on the doors of all the houses on Cassims street.When Morgiana answered the door to Cassims home,the robber subtly nudged the leader.“May I

37、 see the master of the house?”the leader inquired.Ali Baba identified himself.“I am the brother of Cassim,master of this house who has recently perished.How can I help you?”“I have oil for sale,”the merchant said,gesturing to the many barrels loaded on carts in the street.Morgiana glanced at the bar

38、rels.Something about them made her apprehensive.“Yes,we will purchase a few barrels,”Ali said.“Thank you.May we also lodge here tonight and store our wares in your yard?”he inquired.Ali,feeling bound by the rules of hospitality,and his interest piqued in what stories an oil merchant might recount,ig

39、nored Morgianas troubled expression as he replied,“You may stay here,my friend.”Ali Baba Level Z29Chapter 4That evening,Vashti addressed Cassim,“Youll never guess what happened this afternoon.Your poor brothers wife came here to borrow a scale.What could they have to weigh?I stuck some suet to the b

40、ottom of the scale to find out.Guess what I discovered after she returned the scale?”Cassim snatched the gold coin from her hand,holding it up in the flickering candlelight.“My little brother is up to something,this much is sure.”“There must be more,”Vashti asserted haughtily.“Think about ityou only

41、 count your money,but he has enough to necessitate weighing it.Go see your brother tomorrow and find out where the rest of the gold is hidden.”The next morning while Fatima was at the marketplace,Cassim pushed open the door to Alis shack.Grasping his brother by his tunic,Cassim roared,“Do not keep s

42、ecrets from your brother!”He threw the gold coin at Alis face and spat,“I know all about your goldyou can blame your foolish wife.”Beside himself with shock,Ali disclosed all he knew about the hidden cave to his callous brother.Cassim barked,“Take me there now.”Ali Baba Level Z216That night,the spur

43、ious holy man led the group to Cassims street.He abruptly stopped in his tracks.Now all the front doors had an X,and they looked increasingly similar to one another.Which house had he been to earlier?Frustrated,the leader declared that he would have to figure out another way to ascertain the identit

44、y of the dead mans conspirator.10Chapter 5As Ali Baba and Cassim stood before the magic boulder in the forest,Cassim asked with disdain,“You expect me to believe that your precious gold came from within this decrepit rock?”Ali didnt reply.Instead,he pronounced,“Open,sesame”and watched his brothers a

45、mazement as the door to the cave slid open.After the moment of shock had subsided,Cassim elbowed Ali aside and sprinted into the cave.“Remember the magic words,”Ali Baba warned.Cassim waved dismissively at Ali as the boulder slid back into place.With a shake of his head,Ali began to walk home.Inside

46、 the cave,Cassim felt euphoric as he explored the treasures.He rolled around on the luxurious carpets,tossed handfuls of gold coins in the air,and draped himself in glittering jewels and elaborate silk robes.Pulling out the bags he brought,he filled them with loot.Once he was ready to leave,he pause

47、d and said,“What was that phrase again?Oh,yes,Open,barley.”Nothing happened.15Chapter 7The next day,the robber,under the pretense of being a holy man,surfaced in town,offering his condolences to bereaved families.In the marketplace,he inquired about the names of families who had recently suffered th

48、e loss of a loved one.Dismissing the deaths of unlikely people,he focused on the death of one man named Cassim.Vashti was in mourning and was not receiving any visitors,but Morgiana allowed the holy man inside the mansion to recite a prayer over Cassims body.The robber instantly recognized Cassim,an

49、d in his excitement(paying no mind to the female servant watching him)murmured a few quick words before standing to leave.Morgiana had seen much of the world,and this dirge sounded strange to her.Also,the man had an unscrupulous manner about him.After escorting him back to the front door,Morgiana pe

50、ered from behind a curtain to observe the robber use chalk to draw a giant X on the mansions front door.Morgiana sighed and shook her head.Simple tricks for simple men,she thought as she searched the pantrys cupboards for a piece of chalk.Finally locating one,she ran outside and drew an X on each of
