Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
There was once two brothers called Ali Baba and Cassim. Whilst Cassim married a rich woman, Ali Baba married poor and worked as a woodcutter. One day Ali observed forty men entering and then leaving a cave weighed down with gold. He tried the secret password - open sesame - and was able to gain entrance and fill his own bags with gold. His wife was delighted but when his broteher discovered the secret he too wanted the gold. Ali gave him the secret password, and Cassim managed to enter the cave but once inside was so distracted by the gold he could not remember the password to escape. Whilst he was stuck in the cave the robbers returned and deprived him of his gold and his life.
