Ó¢Óïͯ»°¹ÊÊÂ-Ali Baba and the FortyThieve sOnce upon a time...In a town in Persia theredwelttwo brothe rs, one namedCassim, the otherAli Baba. Cassim was marrie d to a rich wife and livedin plenty, whileAli Baba had to mainta in his wife and childr en by cuttin g wood in a neighb ourin g forest and sellin g it in the town. One day, when Ali Baba was in the forest, he saw a troopof men on horseb ack, coming toward him in a cloudof dust. He was afraid they were robber s, and climbe d into a tree for safety. When they came up to him and dismou nted, he counte d fortyof them. They unbrid led theirhorses and tied them to trees. The finest man amongthem, whom Ali Baba took to be theircaptai n, went a little way amongsome bushes, and said: "Open, Sesame!" so plainl y that Ali Baba heardhim. A door opened in the rocks, and having made the troopgo in, he follow ed them, and the door shut againof itself. They stayed some time inside, and Ali Baba, fearin g they mightcome out and catchhim, was forced to sit patien tly in the tree. At last the door opened again, and the FortyThieve s came out. As the Captai n went in last he came out first, and made them all pass by him; he then closed the door, saying: "Shut, Sesame!" Everyman bridle d his horseand mounte d, the Captai n put himsel f at theirhead, and they return ed as they came. Then Ali Baba climbe d down and went to the door concea led amongthe bushes, and said: "Open, Sesame!" and it flew open. Ali Baba, who expect ed a dull, dismal place, was greatl y surpri sed to find it largeand well lighte d, hollow ed by the hand of man in the form of a vault, whichreceiv ed the lightfrom an openin g in the ceilin g. He saw rich balesof mercha ndise--silk, stuff-brocad es, all piledtogeth er, and gold and silver in heaps, and moneyin leathe r purses. He went in and the door shut behind him. He did not look at the silver, but brough t out as many bags of gold as he though t his asses, whichwere browsi ng outsid e, couldcarry, loaded them with the bags, and hid it all with fagots. Usingthe words: "Shut, Sesame!" he closed the door and went home.Then he drovehis assesinto the yard, shut the gates,carrie d the money-bags to his wife, and emptie d them out before her. He bade her keep the secret, and he wouldgo and bury the gold. "Let me firstmeasur e it," said his wife. "I will go borrow a measur e of someon e, whileyou dig the hole." So she ran to the wife of Cassim and borrow ed a measur e. Knowin g Ali Baba's povert y, the sister was curiou s to find out what sort of grainhis wife wished to measur e, and artful ly put some suet at the bottom of the measur e. Ali Baba's wife went home and set the measur e on the heap of gold, and filled it and emptie d it often, to her greatconten t. She then carrie d it back to her sister, withou t notici ng that a pieceof gold was sticki ng to it, whichCassim's wife percei ved direct ly her back was turned. She grewvery curiou s, and said to Cassim when he came home: "Cassim, your brothe r is richer than you. He does not counthis money, he measur es it." He begged her to explai n this riddle, whichshe did by showin g him the pieceof moneyand tellin g him whereshe foundit. Then Cassim grew so enviou s that he couldnot sleep, and went to his brothe r in the mornin g before sunris e. "Ali Baba," he said, showin g him the gold piece, "you preten d to be poor and yet you measur e gold." By this Ali Baba percei ved that throug h his wife's follyCassim and his wife knew theirsecret, so he confes sed all and offere d Cassim a share. "That I expect," said Cassim; "but I must know whereto find the treasu re, otherw ise I will discov er all, and you will lose all." Ali Baba, more out of kindne ss than fear, told him of the cave, and the very wordsto use. Cassim left Ali Baba, meanin g to be before handwith him and get the treasu re for himsel f. He rose earlynext mornin g, and set out with ten mulesloaded with greatchests. He soon foundthe place, and the door in the rock. He said: "Open, Sesame!" andthe door opened and shut behind him. He couldhave feaste d his eyes all day on the treasu res, but he now hasten ed to gather togeth er as much of it as possib le; but when he was readyto go he couldnot rememb er what to say for thinki ng of his greatriches. Instea d of "Sesame," he said: "Open, Barley!" and the door remain ed fast. He namedsevera l differ ent sortsof grain, all but the rightone, and the door stillstuckfast. He was so fright enedat the danger he was in that he had as much forgot ten the word as if he had neverheardit.Aboutnoon the robber s return ed to theircave, and saw Cassim's mulesroving aboutwith greatchests on theirbacks. This gave them the alarm; they drew theirsabres, and went to the door, whichopened on theirCaptai n's saying: "Open, Sesame!" Cassim, who had heardthe trampl ing of theirhorses' feet, resolv ed to sell his life dearly, so when the door opened he leaped out and threwthe Captai n down. In vain, howeve r, for the robber s with theirsabres soon killed him. On enteri ng the cave they saw all the bags laid ready,and couldnot imagin e how anyone had got in withou t knowin g theirsecret. They cut Cassim's body into four quarte rs, and nailed them up inside the cave, in orderto fright en anyone who should ventur e in, and went away in search of more treasu re.As nightdrew on Cassim's wife grew very uneasy, and ran to her brothe r-in-law, and told him whereher husban d had gone. Ali Baba did his best to comfor t her, and set out to the forest in search of Cassim. The firstthinghe saw on enteri ng the cave was his dead brothe r. Full of horror, he put the body on one of his asses, and bags of gold on the othertwo, and, coveri ng all with some fagots, return ed home. He drovethe two assesladenwith gold into his own yard, and led the otherto Cassim's house. The door was opened by the slaveMorgia na, whom he knew to be both braveand cunnin g. Unload ing the ass, he said to her: "This is the body of your master, who has been murder ed, but whom we must bury as though he had died in his bed. I will speakwith you again, but now tell your mistre ss I am come." The wife of Cassim, on learni ng the fate of her husban d, brokeout into criesand tears, but Ali Baba offere d to take her to live with him and his wife if she wouldpromis e to keep his counse l and leaveeveryt hingto Morgia na; whereu pon she agreed, and driedher eyes.Morgia na, meanwh ile, sought an apothe caryand askedhim for some lozeng es. "My poor master," she said, "can neithe r eat nor speak, and no one knowswhat his distem per is." She carrie d home the lozeng es and return ed next day weepin g, and askedfor an essenc e only givento thosejust aboutto die. Thus, in the evenin g, no one was surpri sed to hear the wretch ed shriek s and criesof Cassim's wife and Morgia na, tellin g everyo ne that Cassim was dead. The day afterMorgia na went to an old cobble r near the gatesof the town who opened his stallearly, put a pieceof gold in his hand, and bade him follow her with his needle and thread. Having boundhis eyes with a handke rchie f, she took him to the room wherethe body lay, pulled off the bandag e, and bade him sew the quarte rs togeth er, afterwhichshe covere d his eyes againand led him home. Then they buried Cassim, and Morgia na his slavefollow ed him to the grave, weepin g and tearin g her hair, whileCassim's wife stayed at home utteri ng lament ablecries.Next day she went to live with Ali Baba, who gave Cassim's shop to his eldest son.The FortyThieve s, on theirreturn to the cave, were much astoni shedto find Cassim's body gone and some of theirmoney-bags. "We are certai nly discov ered," said the Captai n, "and shallbe undone if we cannot find out who it is that knowsour secret. Two men must have knownit; we have killed one, we must now find the other. To this end one of you who is bold and artful must go into the city dresse d as a travel ler, and discov er whom we have killed, and whethe r men talk of the strang e manner of his death. If the messen ger failshe must lose his life, lest we be betray ed." One of thethieve s starte d up and offere d to do this, and afterthe rest had highly commen ded him for his braver y he disgui sed himsel f, and happen ed to enterthe town at daybre ak, just by Baba Mustap ha's stall. The thiefbade him good-day, saying: "Honest man, how can you possib ly see to stitch at your age?" "Old as I am," replie d the cobble r, "I have very good eyes, and will you believ e me when I tell you that I seweda dead body togeth er in a placewhereI had less lightthan I have now." The robber was overjo yed at his good fortun e, and, giving him a pieceof gold, desire d to be shownthe housewherehe stitch ed up the dead body. At firstMustap ha refuse d, saying that he had been blindf olded; but when the robber gave him anothe r pieceof gold he beganto thinkhe mightrememb er the turnin gs if blindf olded as before. This meanssuccee ded; the robber partly led him, and was partly guided by him, rightin frontof Cassim's house, the door of whichthe robber marked with a pieceof chalk. Then, well please d, he bade farewe ll to Baba Mustap ha and return ed to the forest. By and by Morgia na, goingout, saw the mark the robber had made, quickl y guesse d that some mischi ef was brewin g, and fetchi ng a pieceof chalkmarked two or threedoorson each side, withou t saying anythi ng to her master or mistre ss. The thief, meanti me, told his comrad es of his discov ery. The Captai n thanke d him, and bade him show him the househe had marked. But when they came to it they saw that five or six of the houses were chalke d in the same manner. The guidewas。
阿里巴巴和四十大盗(英文版)2011-05-24 12:54:27| 分类:English | 标签:baba ali thieves kassim morgiana |字号大中小订阅Ali Baba is a popular figure in the 1001 Nights, he probably lived in a village near the forests of Northern Iran. Ali Baba and his elder brother Kassim were the sons of a wealthy Merchant. After the death of their father, the greedy Kassim outcasts Ali Baba from their father's inheritance and business.The young Ali Baba collects valued fire-wood in the forest and happens to overhear a group of forty thieves visiting their treasure store in the forest where he is cutting wood. The treasure is in a cave, the mouth of which is sealed by magic. It opens on the words "Open, Simsim" (commonly written as "Open Sesame" in English), and seals itself on the words "Close, Simsim" ("Close Sesame"). When the thieves are gone, Ali Baba enters the cave himself, and takes some of the treasure home.Ali Baba borrows his sister-in-law's scales to weigh this new wealth of gold coins. Unbeknownst to Ali, his brother's wife has put a blob of wax in the scales to find out what Ali is using them for, as it is known that Ali was too impoverished to need a scale for use. To her shock, she finds a gold coin sticking to the scales and tells her husband, Ali Baba's rich and greedy brother, Kassim. Ali Baba tells Kassim about the cave. Kassim goes to the cave to take more of the treasure, but in his greed and excitement over the treasuresforgets the magic words to get back out of the cave. 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, cut into many pieces and displayed just inside the entrance of the cave to discourage any similar attempts in the future. Ali Baba brings the body home and, with the help of Morgiana, a clever slave-girl in Kassim's household, Ali finds an old tailor known as Baba Mustafa whom he pays, blindfolds, and leads to Kassim's house. There, overnight, the tailor stitches Kassim back together, so that no one will be suspicious. Ali and his family are able to give Kassim a proper burial without anyone asking awkward questions.The thieves, finding the body gone, realize that yet another person must know their secret, and set out to track him down. One of the thieves goes down to the town and asks around. He discovers that a tailor was seen leaving a house in the early morning, and guesses that the house must belong to the thieves' victim. The thief finds the tailor Mustafa and asks him to lead the way to the house. The tailor is blindfolded again, and in this state he is able to find the house. The thief marks the door with a symbol. The plan is for the other thieves to come back that night and kill everyone in the house. However, the thief has been seen by Morgiana and she, loyal to her master, foils his plan by marking all the houses in the neighbourhood with a similar marking. When the 40 thieves return that night, they cannot identify the correct house and the head thief kills the unfortunate man. The next day, the thieves try 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. The second thief is killed for his stupidity as well. At last, the head thief goes and looks for himself. This time, he memorizes every detail he can of the exterior of Ali Baba's house.The chief of the thieves pretends to be an oil merchant in need of Ali Baba's hospitality, bringing with him mules loaded with thirty-eight oil jars, one filled with oil, the other thirty-seven with the other remaining thieves. Once Ali Baba is asleep, the thieves plan to kill him. Again, Morgiana discovers and foils the plan, killing the thirty-seven thieves in their oil jars by pouring boiling oil on them. When their leader comes to rouse his men, he discovers that they are dead, and escapes.To exact revenge, after some time the thief establishes himself as a merchant, befriends Ali Baba's son (who is now in charge of the late Kassim's business), and is invited to dinner at Ali Baba's house. The thief is recognized by Morgiana, who performs a dance with a dagger for the diners and plunges it into the heart of the thief when he is off his guard. Ali Baba is at first angry with Morgiana, but when he finds out the thief tried to kill him, he gives Morgiana her freedom and marries her to his son. Thus, the story ends happily for everyone except the forty thieves and Kassim.阿里巴巴英文版阿里巴巴和四十大盗ALI BABA AND THE FORTY THIEVESIn a certain town in Persia there lived two brothers, one named Cassim, and the other Ali Baba.Cassim had married a rich wife, and lived like a lord and did nothing. While Ali Baba, who had married for love, and not for money, had to work hard for his living. Every day he went to cut wood in the forest, loaded his three asses with it, and then brought it back to sell in the town.Now one day, while Ali Baba was in the forest, he noticed, far off, a great cloud of dust, and as it came nearer he saw that the dust was made by a company of men galloping along."They must be robbers, " said Ali Baba to himself, trembling.Ali Baba was a cautious man;so hiding his asses he climbed a tree which stood near a great rock, and hid himself among the branches, where he could see without being seen. By and by a band of horsemen appeared. Ali Baba counted forty. When they came under the tree, they all dismounted and began to take off their saddlebags, which, Ali Baba guessed, were filled with gold.Then the Captain of the band went up to the rock, and in a loud voice said, "Open Sesame. "And behold!A door which was hidden in the rock swung slowly open, and the whole band of robbers marched in. After a while they came out again, and the Captain shouted, "Shut Sesame." The door at once closed behind them, and no one could have guessed that there was any opening in the solid rock.As soon as the robbers had mounted and ridden off, Ali Baba climbed quickly down, and as remembered the words he had heard, he went up to the rock and cried, "Open Sesame."The door swung wide open, Just as it had done before, and Ali Baba walked in. He found himself in a huge cave piled up with rich wares and great bags of gold and silver. He went out and brought his asses to the door, and loaded them with six bags full of gold, which he carefully covered with bundles of wood. Then he cried aloud, "Shut Sesame," and the door closed without a sound, and there was no trace of the opening left.Now when Ali Baba arrived home, and his wife saw the bags of gold she looked at him most sorrowfully." O my husband, " she cried, "can it be that you have become a----""No, I am not a thief,”answered Ali Baba, and he told her of his adventure in the cave, and how he had found the gold.Then the poor woman was joyful indeed, and began to try to count the gold which Ali Baba had poured out of the bags."That is a foolish thing to do,”said Ali Baba, "it would take weeks to count. Leave it alone, and I will dig a hole in the garden and hide it.""But it would surely be wiser to know how much we have,”said his wife. “I will go and borrow a measure from your brother Cassim, and then I can weigh the gold while you are digging the hole."So she went to Cassim ' s house, and as he was out she begged his wife to lend her a measure."With pleasure,”answered Cassim' s wife. But she wondered why Ali Baba should want a measure. So she rubbed the bottom of the measure with a little lard, hoping that some of whatever was put into it might stick to the bottom.V ery hastily Ali Baba ' s wife went home, and having measured out the gold, carried the measure back to here sister-in-law. But she never noticed that a piece of gold had stuck to the bottom of the measure."What is this?" cried Cassim' s wife, when she discovered it. " So Ali Baba is too rich to count his gold, and is obliged to measure it!"When Cassim came home and heard the story he was filled with rage, and went over at once to his brother' s house."What do you mean by deceiving me?" He cried, " My wife has found out that you have so much gold that you can not even count it. Tell me this moment how you came by it."Ali Baba saw at once how his secret had been discovered, and so he told his brother the whole story, and even repeated to him the magic words, begging him to keep the secret well.Then Cassim went home, and taking twelve donkeys, set out to find the cave which Ali Baba had pointed out. When he came to it, he tied his donkeys outside, and then said, "Open Sesame," and at once the secret door was open!Now Cassim was a very greedy man, and he was so glad when he saw all the robbers' treasure that he danced for joy. He chose twenty-four of the largest bags of gold and dragged them to the door. Then he found, to his great alarm, that he had forgotten the magic words."Open Barley,”he cried. But the door remained shut. You must know that Sesame is a kind of grain in Persia, and Cassim thought Barley would do as well. Then he tried to remember every kind of grain he had ever heard of, but it was no use, the door never opened an inch.Just then the robber band came riding up, and when the Captain shouted “Open Sesame,”and walked in, he found Cassim there with all the bags of gold which he was trying to carry off.Great was the rage of the robbers when they found that their secret hiding-place was discovered. They fell upon Cassinm and cut him up into pieces, and hung the pieces just inside the cave as a warning to any one who should try to steal their gold.When night came and Cassim did not return home, his wife was much alarmed, and went to Ali Baba to beg him to find out what had become of her husband. So very early in the morning, Ali Baba took his three asses and went off to the robbers' cave."Open Sesame,”he cried, and when the door opened he walked in.Alas!It was as he had feared. His brother had been killed by the robbers and cut into pieces. Ali Baba took the pieces down and placed them on one of his asses. But he loaded the other twoasses with four more bags of gold.Then he returned home, and when he knocked at the door of Cassim' s house it was opened by a slave called Morgiana, who was the cleverest and best of all his brother' s servants.Ali Baba took Morgiana aside and spoke secretly to her. " Your master has been killed by robbers and cut into pieces,”he said, "but no one must know about it. Think therefore of some plan to keep it secret." For he knew what a clever girl Morgiana was.Then he went into the house and told Cassim' s wife the sad news."Do not grieve," he said, "You shall come and live with me and my wife and share all our treasure. Only we must be careful that no one guesses our secret."So they unloaded the pieces of Cassim, and told all the neighbours that he had died suddenly in the night.Then Morgiana went to an old cobbler who lived some distance off, and begged him to come with her, and bring his needles and thread with him. “Your work must be secret,”she said, "and I must blindfold you before I lead you to the house."At first the old cobbler refused, but when Morgiana slipped a piece of gold into his hand, he let himself be blindfolded and led to Cassim' s house. Then Morgiana bade him sew together the pieces of her master' s body, and he did it so neatly that no one could see the joins. Then she again blindfolded him and led him home.So it seemed as if the secret was safe, and Ali Baba and his wife went to live with Cassim' s wife.But when the robbers returned to the cave and found the body gone, as well as four bags of gold, they were filled with rage and fury."Some one else knows our secret," they cried. "We must discover at once who this some one is."So it was agreed that one of the robbers should disguise himself, go into the town, and try to find out the man who had carried off the body and stolen their gold.Now it so happened that as the robber entered the town very early the next morning, the first shop he saw open belonged to the old cobbler who had sewed Cassim' s body together."Good Morning, honest man," said the robber;"you begin work early. Surely your eyes are too old to see well in this early hour?""Old as I am, I have very good eyes," answered the cobbler. " Why, only yesterday I sewed four pieces of a man' s body together, so that nobody could see the joins.""Indeed," said the robber, "and who might the man be?""That I could not tell you if I would," answered the cobbler, "for I was led blindfold to his house, and brought back the same way."Then the robber slipped a piece of gold into the cobbler' s hand, and begged him to try to show him the house."I will blindfold you," said he, "and you can lead me the same way as you were taken yesterday. If you can show me the house you shall have more gold."So at last the cobbler consented, and when he was blindfolded he walked slowly until he came to Cassim' s house and there he stopped. "This must be the place," he said, "as far as I can remember."Then the robber took a piece of chalk out of his pocket and made a white mark on the door so that he might know it again. When he had done this he returned in great spirits to his companions in the forest.Not long after, as Morgiana was carrying water into the house, her sharp eyes noticed a strange mark upon the door. “This is some evil sign which may work mischief against my master," she said.So she fetched a piece of chalk and marked all the houses in the street with the same mark.Now when the robbers heard that their companion had discovered the house belonging to the man they had cut into pieces, they were very glad, but when that very night the cobbler led them to the street, behold!Every door had the same mark upon it, and it was impossible to tell which house was the one they sought."Fool," cried the robber chief angrily, "is this your clever work?You shall be put to death at once, and I myself will discover where this thief lives."So the next day the Captain disguised himself, and went to the old cobbler, who again led the way to Cassim 's house. But the Captain was too clever to mark the house with chalk this time. He looked carefully at it until he was sure he would know it again, and then he went back to prepare for the night' s work.First he bought twenty mules and then thirty-nine large jars for holding oil. One of these jars he filled with oil, but in each of the other empty jars a robber hid himself, and the Captain loaded the mules with the jars and set out for the town.When they came to the house which the Captain had so carefully noted, he found Ali Baba standing outside enjoying the evening air."Good evening,”said the Captain, with a low bow, "may I lodge with you this night, and will you allow me to leave my oil-jars in your courtyard?I am an oil merchant and have come from afar.""Come in, come in," said Ali Baba kindly, and he opened the gate for the mules to go into the yard. Then he ordered Morgiana to get ready a hot supper for the guest.Now the Captain had told each of the robbers that the moment he threw a pebble into the yard they were to jump out of the jars and come to help him. So they sat patiently、waiting in the jars, until the signal should be given.Meanwhile Morgiana was busily cooking the supper, but was obliged to stop because her lamp went out suddenly, and she found there was no oil in the house. " I can easily take a little from the great jars in the yard," she said to herself. So she took her lamp and went to fill it, but as she came near the first jar a voice whispered, "Is it time?""Not yet,”she said, going to the next jar. From each jar came the same question, and to each she gave the same answer, until she came to the last jar, and this she saw was really filled with oil."Aha!" said Morgiana, "pretty oil merchant this is!It is a plot to rob and murder my master."Then she quickly filled a great pot with oil out of the last jar, and set it to boil on the fire. And when the oil was boiling she poured some of it into each of the jars in which the robbers were hidden and killed them all.Thus, when the Captain threw his pebble into the yard not a robber appeared, and when he came down and looked into the jars he found that all his men were dead. His plan was discovered, and he fled for his life.The next morning Morgiana led Ali Baba into the yard and showed him the jars. He started with terror when he looked into the first and saw a man inside, but Morgiana quickly told him the whole story, and showed him that all the robbers were dead.Great indeed was the joy of Ali Baba when he saw what a danger he had escaped."From this moment you are no longer a slave," he said to Morgiana;"I set you free, and you shall have other rewards as well."The Captain meanwhile had returned to the cave, but he was so lonely and miserable without his men that he could not stay there. Besides, he was more eager than ever to be revenged on AliBaba, and so he thought of another plan. He disguised himself as a great merchant, and took a shop exactly opposite to the one belonging to Ali Baba' s son.The great merchant was so rich and so friendly that Ali Baba 's son soon became very fond of him and invited him to his father's house to supper, wishing to pay him great honour.But when the false merchant arrived, he said to Ali Baba, "Much as I should like to sup with you, I fear I cannot. I have made a vow never to taste salt, and thus my food has to be specially prepared.""That is an easy matter, " said Ali Baba;"I will order that no salt be put into any of the food tonight."When Morgiana heard the order she thought there was something very strange about it, and she looked attentively at the guest when she carried in the dishes.What was her horror when she knew the man to be the Captain of the robbers, and saw that he had a dagger hidden in his sleeve !"No wonder he would not eat salt with the man he means to kill," she said.Then she dressed herself as a dancer, and when supper was finished she took a dagger in her hand, and went to dance before Ali Baba and the company.She danced so wonderfully that every one was delighted, and the false merchant took out his purse to drop a piece of gold into her tambourine. But as she held the tambourine out to him, with the other hand she plunged the dagger into his heart."Oh, Morgiana," cried Ali Baba, "What have you done to my guest?""I have saved your life," cried Morgiana. "See here," and she showed them the dagger hidden in the merchant's sleeve, and then told them who he really was.Then Ali Baba embraced Morgiana, for he was grateful indeed."You shall marry my son ," he cried, "and become my daughter, for you deserve well the greatest reward that I can give."For a long time after this Ali Baba was afraid to return to the wonderful cave, but at the end of a year he went back once more, and found that everything had been left untouched since the death of the robbers. There was nothing now to fear. So Ali Baba became richer than any one else in all that land, for the cave never failed to open its secret door to him when he uttered the magic word, " Open Sesame."along[+>S&R]adv.向前ass[$K]n.驴band[B$QD]n.(匪徒等的)帮,一帮branch[br%::QtM]n.(树)枝bring[briR]vt.(brought,brought)搬,运bring back运回by and by不久Cassim[>E$KP]

阿里巴巴和四十大盗的英文观后感The Story of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves: A ReflectionIn the bustling city of Baghdad, there lived a poor wood-cutter named Ali Baba. One day, while searching for firewood in the forest, he stumbled upon a hidden cave. To his amazement, he discovered that the cave was the secret hideout of a group of thieves, known as the Forty Thieves. Ali Baba witnessed the thieves' leader utter the magic words "Open Sesame," which caused the cave's entrance to appear. Eager to take advantage of this discovery, Ali Baba returned to the cave and helped himself to the treasure within.Upon returning home, Ali Baba shared his newfound wealth with his greedy brother, Cassim. Cassim, driven by greed, also ventures to the cave, only to be trapped inside when the thieves return. The thieves discover Cassim's body and set out to find the culprit who has trespassed on their domain. Through a series of twists and turns, Ali Baba's servant, Morgiana, ultimately outsmarts the thieves and saves Ali Baba's life.This classic tale of "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves" is a timeless story that has captivated audiences for generations. As I reflect on thisnarrative, I am struck by the multifaceted themes that it explores, from the dangers of greed and the importance of resourcefulness to the enduring power of wisdom and courage.One of the most prominent themes in the story is the perils of unchecked greed. Cassim's insatiable desire for wealth leads him to disregard the risks and ultimately seals his own demise. This cautionary tale serves as a stark reminder that the pursuit of material gain can blind us to the consequences of our actions. It underscores the importance of maintaining a balanced perspective and recognizing that true fulfillment often lies in more than just the accumulation of wealth.In contrast, Ali Baba's character embodies a more nuanced approach to wealth and prosperity. While he takes advantage of the treasure in the cave, he does so with a sense of moderation and responsibility. He uses his newfound riches to improve the lives of his family and community, rather than indulging in excess. This distinction highlights the notion that wealth can be a tool for positive change, but only when it is coupled with wisdom and restraint.The story also showcases the power of resourcefulness and quick-thinking. Morgiana, the servant, emerges as the true hero of the tale, using her intelligence and ingenuity to outwit the cunning thieves. Her ability to adapt to the changing circumstances and devise cleversolutions in the face of adversity serves as a testament to the value of resilience and problem-solving skills.Furthermore, the narrative delves into the timeless struggle between good and evil. The Forty Thieves, with their ruthless and criminal ways, represent the forces of darkness that threaten the stability and well-being of the community. In contrast, Ali Baba and Morgiana embody the virtues of honesty, compassion, and a steadfast determination to protect their loved ones. This moral dichotomy underscores the enduring relevance of the battle between righteousness and corruption, a theme that continues to resonate across cultures and generations.As I reflect on "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves," I am struck by the depth and complexity of the story. It goes beyond a mere tale of treasure and adventure, delving into the human condition and the eternal struggle to navigate the complexities of life. The story's enduring popularity and its ability to captivate audiences across time and space are a testament to its universal appeal and the timeless wisdom it imparts.In a world increasingly dominated by the pursuit of material wealth and the allure of easy riches, the tale of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of moderation, wisdom, and the courage to stand up against the forcesof greed and corruption. It encourages us to reflect on our own values, our priorities, and the legacy we aim to leave behind. As we continue to encounter stories that have stood the test of time, we are reminded of the enduring power of storytelling to shape our understanding of the world and inspire us to be better versions of ourselves.。

阿里巴巴和四十大盗的故事(2)阿里巴巴和四十大盗的故事英文Ali Baba, a poor woodcutter, happens to see and overhear a large band of thieves - forty in all - visiting their treasure store in the forest where he is cutting wood. The thieves' treasure is in a cave, the mouth of which is sealed by magic - it opens on the words "Open, Sesame", and seals itself on the words "Close, Sesame". When the thieves are gone, Ali Baba enters the cave himself, and takes some of the treasure home.Ali Baba's rich brother, Kasim, finds out about his brother's unexpected wealth, and Ali Baba tells Kasim about the cave. Kasim goes to the cave to take more of the treasure, but forgets the magic words to get back out of the cave, and 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, bringing it home. With the help of Morgiana, a clever slave-girl in Kasim's household, they are able to give Kasim a proper burial without arousing any suspicions about his death.The thieves, finding the body gone, realize that somebody else must know their secret, and set out to track him down. The first several times they are foiled by Morgiana, who is now a member of Ali Baba's household, but eventually they are able to ascertain the location of Ali Baba's house.The lead thief pretends to be an oil merchant in need of Ali Baba's hospitality, bringing with him mules loaded with 40 oil jars, one filled with oil, the other 39 with the other thieves.Once Ali Baba is asleep, the thieves plan to kill him. Again, Morgiana discovers and foils the plan, killing the 39 thieves in their oil jars by pouring boiling oil on them. When their leader comes to rouse his men, he discovers that they are dead, andescapes.The lead thief, disguised as a merchant, befriends Ali Baba's nephew (who is now in charge of the late Kasim's business), and is invited to dinner at Ali Baba's house. He is recognised by Morgiana, who performs a dance with a dagger for the diners and plunges it into the heart of the thief when he is off his guard. Thus, the story ends happily for everyone except the forty thieves and Ali Baba's brother. The story has its base in a sudanese saga of king Ali Baba of the Bija tribe (which lived close to Port Sudan.The king refused to pay the taxes to Al-Mutawakkil, the tenth Abbassi caliph in Baghdad. The rebel king sealed all gold mines in the mountains and stopped central officials from going to the whole Red Sea area. Baghdad did send its army in to keep its power upon the vital gold market in the islamic world (it's believed that Sudan provided more than 60% of the Abbassi gold in the pre-crusade era) and within 5 years it managed to crush the rebelion. Ali Baba, taken to Baghdad, carried all the gold hidden by his men to the caliph. A public display of the great treasure and the defeated king was shown in all important cities in the road to the capital Samarra creating the legend of the caves and the legend of the thieves. In the end, Ali Baba was granted amnesty in Samarra and upon his return he gave gold to the needy in all major towns in the road as a good gesture to the muslims whom he fought.Sesame is still Sudan's most famous export in the Middle East; it's used to make halawi (halva).阿里巴巴和四十大盗的故事读后感当我读完《一千零一夜》这本书时,其中的《阿里巴巴和四十大盗的故事》的故事让我深受启发。

It's one of the famous tales from the classic book "The Arabian Nights." I just finished reading it and I have to tell you all about the crazy adventures!The story takes place in a city in Persia, which is what they used to call Iran a long time ago. The main character is a poor woodcutter named Ali Baba. One day, Ali Baba is out gathering wood in the forest when he sees a huge group of 40 men approaching on horses. He's really scared, so he quickly climbs up a tree to hide.Well, these 40 men turn out to be a gang of thieves! They were led by a very scary looking fellow. Ali Baba watches as the thieves stop near a rock and their leader says the magic words "Open Sesame!" Can you believe that? As soon as he says those words, a door opens up in the rock, leading to a secret cave!Inside the cave, Ali Baba sees that it's full of treasures and riches - gold, jewels, bags of coins, you name it! The thieves bring even more treasures from their latest robbery and store it all in the cave. After a while, their leader says "Close Sesame" and the door shuts. Then the 40 thieves ride off.Once they're gone, Ali Baba is just flabbergasted. He climbs down from the tree and decides to check out this cave for himself. He says "Open Sesame" and sure enough, the door opens right up! Ali Baba goes inside and is blown away by all the glittering piles of gold and jewels everywhere. He takes as many bags of gold coins as he can carry and heads home.At home, Ali Baba shows his wife the fortune he brought from the cave. She can hardly believe her eyes! They're finally rich after being poor for so long. Ali Baba puts the gold coins in jars and buries them in their basement.A little while later, Ali Baba's greedy brother Cassim finds out about the secret treasure cave. He begs Ali Baba to tell him where it is and how to get in. Ali Baba doesn't want to at first, but Cassim just won't stop pestering him, so finally he gives in and tells Cassim the magic words "Open Sesame."Cassim goes to the cave over and over, taking so many treasures that soon the entire cave is empty! But on his very lasttrip, he forgets the magic words to get out. Oh no! He tries everything he can think of, but the door won't open. When the 40 thieves come back and find Cassim stuck in their cave, they are furious. Their leader thinks Cassim must be trying to rob them, so he kills Cassim with his sword!Meanwhile, Ali Baba's wife is really worried because Cassim has been gone for two whole days. She asks Ali Baba to go look for him. When Ali Baba gets to the cave, he finds his brother's dead body inside and is heartbroken. But then he has to hide when the thieves arrive. Ali Baba overhears the thieves' evil plan - they've marked his house with a cross so they can come kill him and his wife that night and take back their treasure!Ali Baba races home and warns his wife about the thieves' terrible plan. She comes up with a clever idea - they'll put up marks on all the other houses on their street so the thieves get confused about which one is theirs.That night, the 40 thieves sneak into the neighborhood looking for the marked house. But they can't figure out which one has the cross since every house is marked! They pick a random house and knock, pretending to be merchants in need of a place to stay the night.The owners of that house let them in, having no idea they are deadly thieves. In the middle of the night, the thieves try to kill the family, but Ali Baba's brave slave girl Morgiana figures out they are the thieves. She pours boiling oil on them, killing every last one!The next morning, Ali Baba goes to thank Morgiana and sees that she has all the dead thieves loaded on the backs of their own horses. She even has the head of their evil leader. Ali Baba is finally rid of the 40 thieves forever. He rewards Morgiana by giving her her freedom for saving his life. From then on, Ali Baba and his wife live happily and richly ever after, all thanks to the treasures from that magical cave.I just loved how this story was filled with surprises and danger at every turn! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It had action, adventure, tragedy, and even a brilliant female character in Morgiana who saved the day. Those 40 thieves were so greedy and mean, but it was awesome how Ali Baba kept outsmarting them in the end. The magic words "Open Sesame" to reveal the treasures were so cool too.

Ó¢Óïͯ»°¹ÊÊÂ-Ali Baba and the Forty ThievesOnce upon a time...In a town in Persia there dwelt two brothers, one named Cassim, the other Ali Baba. Cassim was married to a rich wife and lived in plenty, while Ali Baba had to maintain his wife and children by cutting wood in a neighbouring forest and selling it in the town. One day, when Ali Baba was in the forest, he saw a troop of men on horseback, coming toward him in a cloud of dust. He was afraid they were robbers, and climbed into a tree for safety. When they came up to him and dismounted, he counted forty of them. They unbridled their horses and tied them to trees. The finest man among them, whom Ali Baba took to be their captain, went a little way among some bushes, and said: "Open, Sesame!" so plainly that Ali Baba heard him. A door opened in the rocks, and having made the troop go in, he followed them, and the door shut again of itself. They stayed some time inside, and Ali Baba, fearing they might come out and catch him, was forced to sit patiently in the tree. At last the door opened again, and the Forty Thieves came out. As the Captain went in last he came out first, and made them all pass by him; he then closed the door, saying: "Shut, Sesame!" Every man bridled his horse and mounted, the Captain put himself at their head, and they returned as they came. Then Ali Baba climbed down and went to the door concealed among the bushes, and said: "Open, Sesame!" and it flew open. Ali Baba, who expected a dull, dismal place, was greatly surprised to find it large and well lighted, hollowed by the hand of man in the form of a vault, which received the light from an opening in the ceiling. He saw rich bales of merchandise--silk, stuff-brocades, all piled together, and gold and silver in heaps, and money in leather purses. He went in and the door shut behind him. He did not look at the silver, but brought out as many bags of gold as he thought his asses, which were browsing outside, could carry, loaded them with the bags, and hid it all with fagots. Using the words: "Shut, Sesame!" he closed the door and went home.Then he drove his asses into the yard, shut the gates, carried the money-bags to his wife, and emptied them out before her. He bade her keep the secret, and he would go and bury the gold. "Let me first measure it," said his wife. "I will go borrow a measure of someone, while you dig the hole." So she ran to the wife of Cassim and borrowed a measure. Knowing Ali Baba's poverty, the sister was curious to find out what sort of grain his wife wished to measure, and artfully put some suet at the bottom of the measure. Ali Baba's wife went home and set the measure on the heap of gold, and filled it and emptied it often, to her great content. She then carried it back to her sister, without noticing that a piece of gold was sticking to it, which Cassim's wife perceived directly her back was turned. She grewvery curious, and said to Cassim when he came home: "Cassim, your brother is richer than you. He does not count his money, he measures it." He begged her to explain this riddle, which she did by showing him the piece of money and telling him where she found it. Then Cassim grew so envious that he could not sleep, and went to his brother in the morning before sunrise. "Ali Baba," he said, showing him the gold piece, "you pretend to be poor and yet you measure gold." By this Ali Baba perceived that through his wife's folly Cassim and his wife knew their secret, so he confessed all and offered Cassim a share. "That I expect," said Cassim; "but I must know where to find the treasure, otherwise I will discover all, and you will lose all." Ali Baba, more out of kindness than fear, told him of the cave, and the very words to use. Cassim left Ali Baba, meaning to be beforehand with him and get the treasure for himself. He rose early next morning, and set out with ten mules loaded with great chests. He soon found the place, and the door in the rock. He said: "Open, Sesame!" andthe door opened and shut behind him. He could have feasted his eyes all day on the treasures, but he now hastened to gather together as much of it as possible; but when he was ready to go he could not remember what to say for thinking of his great riches. Instead of "Sesame," he said: "Open, Barley!" and the door remained fast. He named several different sorts of grain, all but the right one, and the door still stuck fast. He was so frightened at the danger he was in that he had as much forgotten the word as if he had never heard it.About noon the robbers returned to their cave, and saw Cassim's mules roving about with great chests on their backs. This gave them the alarm; they drew their sabres, and went to the door, which opened on their Captain's saying: "Open, Sesame!" Cassim, who had heard the trampling of their horses' feet, resolved to sell his life dearly, so when the door opened he leaped out and threw the Captain down. In vain, however, for the robbers with their sabres soon killed him. On entering the cave they saw all the bags laid ready, and could not imagine how anyone had got in without knowing their secret. They cut Cassim's body into four quarters, and nailed them up inside the cave, in order to frighten anyone who should venture in, and went away in search of more treasure.As night drew on Cassim's wife grew very uneasy, and ran to her brother-in-law, and told him where her husband had gone. Ali Baba did his best to comfort her, and set out to the forest in search of Cassim. The first thing he saw on entering the cave was his dead brother. Full of horror, he put the body on one of his asses, and bags of gold on the other two, and, covering all with some fagots, returned home. He drove the two asses laden with gold into his own yard, and led the otherto Cassim's house. The door was opened by the slave Morgiana, whom he knew to be both brave and cunning. Unloading the ass, he said to her: "This is the body of your master, who has been murdered, but whom we must bury as though he had died in his bed. I will speak with you again, but now tell your mistress I am come." The wife of Cassim, on learning the fate of her husband, broke out into cries and tears, but Ali Baba offered to take her to live with him and his wife if she would promise to keep his counsel and leave everything to Morgiana; whereupon she agreed, and dried her eyes. Morgiana, meanwhile, sought an apothecary and asked him for some lozenges. "My poor master," she said, "can neither eat nor speak, and no one knows what his distemper is." She carried home the lozenges and returned next day weeping, and asked for an essence only given to those just about to die. Thus, in the evening, no one was surprised to hear the wretched shrieks and cries of Cassim's wife and Morgiana, telling everyone that Cassim was dead. The day after Morgiana went to an old cobbler near the gates of the town who opened his stall early, put a piece of gold in his hand, and bade him follow her with his needle and thread. Having bound his eyes with a handkerchief, she took him to the room where the body lay, pulled off the bandage, and bade him sew the quarters together, after which she covered his eyes again and led him home. Then they buried Cassim, and Morgiana his slave followed him to the grave, weeping and tearing her hair, while Cassim's wife stayed at home uttering lamentable cries. Next day she went to live with Ali Baba, who gave Cassim's shop to his eldest son.The Forty Thieves, on their return to the cave, were much astonished to find Cassim's body gone and some of their money-bags. "We are certainly discovered," said the Captain, "and shall be undone if we cannot find out who it is that knows our secret. Two men must have known it; we have killed one, we must now find the other. To this end one of you who is bold and artful must go into the city dressed as a traveller, and discover whom we have killed, and whether men talk of the strange manner of his death. If the messenger fails he must lose his life, lest we be betrayed." One of the thieves started up and offered to do this, and after the rest had highly commended him for hisbravery he disguised himself, and happened to enter the town at daybreak, just by Baba Mustapha's stall. The thief bade him good-day, saying: "Honest man, how can you possibly see to stitch at your age?" "Old as I am," replied the cobbler, "I have very good eyes, and will you believe me when I tell you that I sewed a dead body together in a place where I had less light than I have now." The robber was overjoyed at his good fortune, and, giving him a piece of gold, desired to be shown the house where he stitched up the dead body. At first Mustapha refused, saying that he had been blindfolded; but when the robber gave him another piece of gold he began to think he might remember the turnings if blindfolded as before. This means succeeded; the robber partly led him, and was partly guided by him, right in front of Cassim's house, the door of which the robber marked with a piece of chalk. Then, well pleased, he bade farewell to Baba Mustapha and returned to the forest. By and by Morgiana, going out, saw the mark the robber had made, quickly guessed that some mischief was brewing, and fetching a piece of chalk marked two or three doors on each side, without saying anything to her master or mistress. The thief, meantime, told his comrades of his discovery. The Captain thanked him, and bade him show him the house he had marked. But when they came to it they saw that five or six of the houses were chalked in the same manner. The guide was。
