Story | Ali Baba And Forty Thieves

There was a poor man named Ali Baba who worked as a wood-cutter. He made a living by cutting wood and selling it in the nearby market. One morning, while he was cutting wood in a forest, he heard the sound of horses' hooves. He got scared and thought they might be thieves. Quickly, he climbed up a tall tree and hid among the branches. There were forty thieves riding fancy horses who passed by beneath the tree. Ali Baba watched them, feeling very afraid. The thieves stopped and unloaded heavy bags from their horses. Then their leader took them to a nearby rock. He shouted, "Open sesame!" and a door in the rock opened. The thieves went inside a cave, following their leader.
