Lesson Proper
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
Ali Baba and his older brother, Cassim, are the sons of a
merchant. After their father's death, the greedy Cassim marries a
wealthy woman and becomes well-to-do, building on their father's
business. Ali Baba marries a poor woman and settles into the trade of
a woodcutter.
One day, Ali Baba is at work collecting and cutting firewood in the
forest, when he happens to overhear a group of 40 thieves visiting
their stored treasure. Their treasure is in a cave, the mouth of which is
sealed by a huge rock. It opens on the magic words "open sesame"
and seals itself on the words "close sesame". When the thieves are
gone, Ali Baba enters the cave himself and discreetly takes a single
bag of gold coins home.
Ali Baba and his wife borrow his sister-in-law's scales to weigh
their new wealth. Unbeknownst to them, Cassim's wife puts a blob of
wax in the scales to find out what Ali Baba is using them for, as she is
curious to know what kind of grain her impoverished brother-in-law
needs to measure. To her shock, she finds a gold coin sticking to the
scales and tells her husband. Under pressure from his brother, Ali
Baba is forced to reveal the secret of the cave. Cassim goes to the
cave, taking a donkey with him to take as much treasure as possible.
He enters the cave with the magic words. But in his greed and
excitement over the treasure, he forgets the words to get out again.
The thieves find him there and kill him. When his brother does not
come back, Ali Baba goes to the cave to look for him, and finds the
body quartered and with each piece displayed just inside the cave's
entrance, as a warning to anyone else who might try to enter.
Ali Baba brings the body home where he entrusts Morgiana, a
clever slave-girl from Cassim's household, with the task of making
others believe that Cassim has died a natural death. First, Morgiana
purchases medicines from an apothecary, telling him that Cassim is
gravely ill. Then, she finds an old tailor known as Baba Mustafa whom
she pays, blindfolds, and leads to Cassim's house. There, overnight,
the tailor stitches the pieces of Cassim's body back together. Ali Baba
and his family are able to give Cassim a proper burial without anyone
suspecting anything.
The thieves, finding the body gone, realize that another person
must know their secret, and they set out to track him down. One of the
thieves goes down to the town and comes across Baba Mustafa, who
mentions that he has just sewn a dead man's body back together.
Realizing the dead man must have been the thieves' victim, the thief
asks Baba Mustafa to lead the way to the house where the deed was
performed. The tailor is blindfolded again, and in this state he is able
to retrace his steps and find the house. The thief marks the door with
a symbol so the other thieves can come back that night and kill
everyone in the house. However, the thief has been seen by Morgiana
who, loyal to her master, foils the thief's plan by marking all the
houses in the neighborhood similarly. When the 40 thieves return that
night, they cannot identify the correct house, and their leader kills the
unsuccessful thief in a furious rage. The next day, another thief
revisits Baba Mustafa and tries again. Only this time, a chunk is
chipped out of the stone step at Ali Baba's front door. Again, Morgiana
foils the plan by making similar chips in all the other doorsteps, and
the second thief is killed for his failure as well. At last, the leader of the
thieves goes and looks for him. This time, he memorizes every detail
he can of the exterior of Ali Baba's house.
The leader of the thieves pretends to be an oil merchant in need

of Ali Baba's hospitality, bringing with him mules loaded with 38 oil
jars, one filled with oil, the other 37 hiding the other remaining thieves.
Once Ali Baba is asleep, the thieves plan to kill him. Again, Morgiana
discovers and foils the plan, killing the 37 thieves in their oil jars by
pouring boiling oil on them. When their leader comes to rouse his
men, he discovers they are all dead and escapes. The next morning,
Morgiana tells Ali Baba about the thieves in the jars. They bury them,
and Ali Baba shows his gratitude by giving Morgiana her freedom.
To exact revenge, the leader of the thieves establishes himself as

a merchant, befriends Ali Baba's son (who is now in charge of the late
Cassim's business), and is invited to dinner at Ali Baba's house.
However, the thief is recognized by Morgiana, who performs a sword
dance with a dagger for the diners and plunges it into the thief's heart,
when he is off his guard. Ali Baba is at first angry with Morgiana, but
when he finds out the thief wanted to kill him, he is extremely grateful
and rewards Morgiana by marrying her to his son. Ali Baba is then left
as the only one knowing the secret of the treasure in the cave and
how to access it.
