"Open, Sesame!"

Alibaba decided to get down, take his donkeys and go home. Just at the moment, when he thought of climbing down, the cave opened. The leader stood at the entrance of the cave.

Then, just as they had entered, the gang of robbers came out, one by one. Each carried an empty bag. Alibaba thought, "they must have left the contents inside the cave."

As each thief came out, the leader counted their number. Each thief then untied his horse and got on it. When the last thief had come out, the leader stood outside the cave. Then, like before, he uttered two words, "SHUT, SESAME!" Immediately, the door of the cave closed magically. Looking at the rock, no one would know that it opened into a cave.

The leader then got onto his horse. The other thieves waited for their captain to lead them. The captain then went to the front and led the gang of robbers in the same direction they have come from.

Alibaba observed the complete scene from above. As long as the robbers were near the tree, he didn't dare to make any noise.

The gang of robbers went away on their horses, as fast as they had come. But Alibaba waited for a long time after they left. He thought, "Let me wait for some time. If any robber comes back for some thing and catches me, I'll be dead. From here I can see the dust raised by their horses. When I can no longer see or hear them, I can safely get down."

Finally, there was no sign of any robber coming back. Alibaba was sure that he was alone. Praying to God for saving him, he slowly climbed down the tree.

Once on the ground, Alibaba looked at the rock. He wondered, "I remember the words used by the captain to open the cave. The magical key to this mysterious cave is 'Open, Sesame!' But I wonder if it will work if I say it aloud. What harm is there in trying?

Alibaba was not sure if the rock would listen to his command. But he tried. He said aloud, " Open, Sesame!" Lo and behold, the mighty cave opened it door to his. alibaba was amazed.

He slowly enter the cave, not knowing what to expect. The door of the cave closed behind him. as he came inside, he had the shock of his life.

Alibaba had expected that the cave would be dark and dirty. Instead, it was bright and filled with treasures. The light in the cave came from several small openings in the roof. Alibaba also saw the several torches were laid in the cave. He thought that the thieves used this torches when they came in the dark.

Then, Alibaba looked at the Treasures spread everywhere in the cave. The cave was covered with boxes one on top of the Other. These boxes extended from the floor to the ceiling of the cave. Alibaba went around these boxes to see what was inside. Each box had a variety of riches.

Some had expensive jewellery while some had rich clothes full stop some contained embroidered silks and some were costly furniture. But what attracted alibaba's attention were the boxes filled with golden and silver.

Alibaba looked at the abundant Treasures hidden in the cave. He thought, "it will take me more than a day to go through all these riches.

These treasures have not been stolen from few years. I feel this gave have been here for a few generations. These have been storing their loot from every long time."

Once Alibaba was inside the cave the door had closed automatically but Alibaba was not worried. He remembered the magical words that the leader had used to open and close the door.

Then Alibaba decided what he should do with the Treasure in front of him. He thought, "these expensive cells and furniture are of no use to me. Moreover, my donkeys should be able to carry the load."

Then, Alibaba decided to just take three bags of gold. That way he could load the bags on his three donkeys. Thinking so took the three bags and the words, "Open, Sesame!" he came out of the cave. His donkeys were still standing at the place he had left them.

Then, he took out the word and loaded the three bags first. the bags of gold with the wood. thus, No one would suspect that he was bringing anything other than wood.

Alibaba then Drove his donkeys quickly to the town.Once he reached the town, he went a directly to his house. He was relieved only when he opened the door of his house.

Then slowly and carefully, he unloaded the wood. He looked around to see if he was being watched. When he was sure that he was alone he took the bags of gold and carried them inside. He was waiting to see how his wife would react at his good fortune.
