ALI BABA AND THE FORTY THIEVES
Once upon a time, there was a kind man named Ali Baba. He lived in a village with his family and spent his days gathering firewood in the forest.
One day, while Ali Baba was in the forest, he heard a loud noise. It was the sound of horses coming down the path. Ali Baba got scared and quickly climbed up a tall tree to hide.
From up in the tree, Ali Baba peeked out and saw forty men riding on horses. They stopped near a big rock, and their bags sparkled with shiny gold and jewels!

"These must be thieves," Ali Baba whispered to himself, watching carefully.
To his surprise, the leader of the thieves said, "Open Sesame!" Immediately, a huge door hidden in the rock opened wide. The thieves rode their horses inside the cave.
Once they were all inside, the leader said, "Close Sesame!" and the door shut tight again.
Ali Baba waited until the coast was clear. When the thieves came out with empty bags, he climbed down from the tree. He wanted to see if he could also open the magical door.
Standing in front of the rock, Ali Baba bravely said, "Open Sesame!" To his amazement, the door swung open, revealing a cave filled with glittering jewels and piles of gold coins.
Ali Baba took just one small gold coin. He didn't want to be greedy; he just wanted enough to buy food for his family. Quickly, he said, "Close Sesame!" and the door closed.
Excited and a little scared, Ali Baba ran back home to tell his brother Kassim about the hidden treasure.
Kassim was curious and went to the cave himself. But when he found the treasure, he forgot the magic words to leave! He tried saying things like "Open Pizza!" and "Open Marshmallows!" but nothing worked.
The thieves returned and found Kassim. Luckily, he managed to escape and ran to warn Ali Baba.
With a clever plan involving stinky cheese, Ali Baba and his family tricked the thieves when they came back disguised as sellers of olive oil. The thieves were caught, and the stolen treasure was returned to the village.
Everyone celebrated Ali Baba and his family as heroes. They learned that being brave and kind is important, and that greediness can get you into trouble.
And so, Ali Baba and his family lived happily ever after, with their hearts full of love and their village safe and joyful.
