Long ago, in a Persian city, two very poor orphans lived. The eldest was named Kassim and the younger Ali Baba.
Kassim, who was ambitious but not very hardworking, managed to marry a young woman of good standing.
Ali Baba preferred to lead a less ambitious life and live from his work, so he became a lumberjack. His honesty and good deed made him soon gain the confidence of the people. Thanks to her effort and good judgment, Ali Baba managed to save some money, with which she bought a donkey to load firewood and thus not have to carry it. In this way, Ali Baba could serve more firewood and earn more money, and thus managed to get a total of three donkeys to help him in his work.
The other woodcutters admired Ali Baba for his way of doing and inspiring confidence. So much so that one of them offered his daughter in marriage.
One day, while Ali Baba cut wood in the forest with his three donkeys grazing around, he heard noise in the thicket. At first the woodcutter did not suspect anything. However, when he wanted to realize his donkeys were gone. Concerned with them, Ali Baba climbed a tree to try to see where the donkeys had gone.
From the top of the tree Ali Babá could see a group of thugs approaching on horseback and standing at the foot of the tree where he was. Fortunately, they did not see him, because he remained hidden behind the branches.
There the thugs left their horses and started their way on foot carrying heavy sacks. Ali Baba counted them as they went: there were a total of forty.
From the tree, Ali Baba could see how a little later the forty thugs stopped in front of a rock. He also heard one say, in a loud and thundering voice: Open yourself, sesame! And the rock opened.
The thugs came in, emptied their sacks, and left. Someone said, "Sesame, shut up!" And, saying this, the rock returned to its place.
Ali Baba thought of entering the rock, but he worried that the thieves would return after something forgotten, so he decided to wait. After a long wait, the woodcutter approached the rock and said: Open yourself, Sesame! And the rock opened. Ali Baba found a large room illuminated by the light coming through the holes in his vault. He went in and the rock closed quietly. A little frightened, Ali Baba decided to explore the room. There he found rich merchandise: silk cloths, gold, silver, coins and precious stones.
Alí Babá immediately realized that all this was the result of robbery and plunder, so he only took coins, leaving jewelry, precious metals and other goods, thus remaining at peace with his conscience. He filled three sacks with what he thought they could carry their donkeys and left. He opened the rock with the magic words and with the magic words closed it.
Already, Ali Baba called his donkeys, loaded them with sacks full of coins and headed home. But when he arrived he found the door closed, so he decided to try the formula applied to the rock. And at the voice of "open, sesame" the door opened. To close it, he used the words "sesame, shut up," which also worked.
When his wife saw him in the inner courtyard he asked how he had managed to get inside, since she had closed it inside and inside. He did not answer and invited him to help him unload the sacks. When she saw the coins she thought that her husband had allied herself with thieves and began to cry, disconsolate, thinking that the coins were the result of pillage.
Ali Baba decided to tell the story to his wife, who was fascinated and convinced that the gold had not been stolen by her husband, but that destiny had put in its way.
She wanted to measure the amount of gold before she was buried in the garden and went to her brother-in-law's house to ask for a measure. Kassim's wife left it, and when he recovered it, he saw a golden din under the measure. When he told his husband, he went to see Ali Baba, who offered him half of his coins. But Kassim wanted more, so Ali Baba told him the secret for fear that his brother denounced him or something worse.
C Ali Baba and the Forty Thieveshen Kasim went to the rock and entered with several bags, the rock was closed. He filled the sacks, and when he was about to leave, he forgot the magic words. Soon he heard that the thieves were approaching and hid, but they caught him trying to escape, and they killed him, leaving his body there.
Seeing that he did not return, Ali Baba went in search of his brother. When he found him dead he took him to bury him, and paid the gravedigger not to say anything. When the thieves returned and did not find Kasim's body they went to talk to the undertaker, who gave in to the threats and told him that Ali Baba was the one who had taken the body and promised to take the body of Kasim to one of the thieves. To tell him where to leave, the thief said that he would paint his door with ashes.
One of Ali Baba's servants heard everything and painted all the doors of the village with ashes. As the plan of the thieves did not work, the chief appeared in the house of Alibaab asking for lodging as a false seller of oil with several jars, in each of which there was a thief hidden. Ali Baba accepted him at his house.
Ali Baba's maid watched at night in the oil jars to light some lamps. But when he went out with the bucket to the first jar to catch oil, he met the thief, who struck him with the spoon, instantly asleep. And so he did with all the jars.
The authorities seized the thieves and Ali Baba lived with his family happily ever after.
