BR-4 Ali Baba and the forty thieves

"Open, Sesame?" Instantly, the rock opened.

Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves comes from a collection of Arabian stories known as The Thousand and One Nights. I read this book for the first time. I was going to know the synopsis of this story. However, it was different in fact. I thought this was going to be a story to be rich to find a treasure that thieves had left a boy named Ali Baba. In the fact, this story has a really thick plot. Main character is Ali Baba. He has an brother of merchant. Alibaba has been living by selling firewood to cut trees in the forest. One day, he witness from the top of the tree you to open and close the rock wall thief chanting the "Open, sesame." Open the door, Alibaba bring home the gold. However, that will be known by Kasim and he also goes there. When he goes home, he was found in the thief to forget a spell. Ali Baba became anxious and went to see a situation, and then Kasim's body lay in four pieces. The story goes on even after that, the last happy ending. I thought that only Ali Baba and a thief appeared, so I was surprised that many persons appeared.
