The story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
Once upon a time, in a certain city of Persia, there lived two brothers, the elder brother was called Gosimum, and the younger brother was called Ali Baba. After the death of www.biquge.info father of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion, the two of them each got a limited amount of property, separated from each other, and made their own living. Soon the money was spent, and life became increasingly difficult. In order to solve the problem of food and clothing and make ends meet, the brothers had to run around day and night, enduring hardships and standing hard work.
Later, Gosimus was fortunate enough to marry the daughter of a wealthy merchant, and he inherited his father-in-law's business and began to start a business. As a result of his prosperous and rapid development, Gosimus soon became a well-known and wealthy businessman.
Ali Baba married the daughter of a poor family, and the couple lived a poor life. Except for a dilapidated house, there were only three donkeys. Ali Baba makes a living by selling firewood, driving donkeys to the jungle every day to chop firewood and then carrying it to the market to sell it to make a living.
One day, Ali Baba drove three donkeys up the mountain to chop wood. He gathered the dead trees and dry firewood he had cut down and tied them into donkeys to carry them. When he was chopping wood and preparing to descend the mountain, a puff of smoke and dust suddenly appeared in the distance, and flew straight up into the sky, rolling towards him, and getting closer and closer. When he got closer, he saw that it was a team of horses, rushing in this direction.
Ali Baba was afraid that if he encountered a gang of gangsters, the donkey would be snatched away and his own life would not be saved. He was full of fear and wanted to run away, but as the men and horses were getting closer and closer, it was impossible to escape from the forest, so he had to drive the donkey carrying the firewood into the jungle path, and climbed to a big tree to hide.
The big tree grew next to a large, treacherous rock. He hid his body among the dense foliage, and from above he could see everything below Chu, but the people below could not see him.
By this time the men and horses had run to the tree, and they stopped and stood in front of the big rock. There were forty of them, all of them young and strong, and they were quick to move. Ali Li looked closely, and it seemed that it was a gang of robbers who had just robbed a caravan full of goods, and had come here to share the spoils, or were going to hide the loot.
Alibaba thought to himself and was determined to find out. #ๅ้กต#
The bandits tied their horses under the trees and removed heavy saddlebags, which apparently contained gold, silver and jewelry.
At this moment, a man who looked like a leader, carrying a heavy saddlebag, came from the jungle to the big rock, and murmured, "Sesame, open the door!" At the shout of the leader, a wide passage suddenly appeared in front of the big rock, and the robbers rushed in. The leader was the last.
As soon as the leader entered the cave, the gate closed automatically.
Because there were robbers in the cave, Ali Baba hid in the tree and snooped and did not dare to go down the tree, for he was afraid that they would suddenly come out of the hole and fall into their hands and be killed. Eventually, he decided to steal a horse and drive his donkey back to the city. Just as he was about to get out of the tree, the door of the cave suddenly opened, and the leader of the robbers came out first, and he stood in front of the door, counted his minions, and when he saw that the men had come out, he began to recite the incantation, saying:
"Sesame, close the door!"
With his shout, the door closed automatically.
After the chief's inventory and inspection, and finding no problem, the minions went to their horses, put the empty saddlebags in the saddle, and then one by one mounted their horses, followed the leader, and rode away.
Ali Baba stayed in the tree and watched them until they had gone without a trace, and then came down from the tree. The reason why he did not dare to come down from the tree in the first place was because he was afraid that one of the robbers would suddenly return.
At this moment, he said to himself, "I'm going to test the effect of this spell and see if I can open this cave door as well." So he cried out, "Sesame, open the door!" As soon as he finished shouting, the door of the cave opened.
He walked cautiously in, and when he looked up, it was a large cave with a dome, and the light that penetrated through the vent in the roof of the cave was like a lamp. At first, he thought that since it was a robber's den, there would be nothing but darkness. But the truth was not what he expected. The cave is full of belongings, which makes people stunned. Piles of silk, brocade and embroidered clothes, piles of colourful carpets, and countless gold and silver coins, some scattered on the ground and some in leather bags. Seeing so much gold and silver wealth at once, Alibaba was convinced that this must be a treasure cave accumulated by robbers who had been operating and plundering for generations.
After Ali Baba entered the cave, the door closed automatically.
He didn't care, he didn't care, because he had mastered the method of activating this door, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to get out of the hole. He was not interested in the treasure in the cave, he was in dire need of money. Therefore, considering the carrying capacity of the donkey, he thought about it, only got a few bags of gold coins, tied them in the firewood, and threw them on the donkey to transport them. In this way, people will not see the money bag, but will still see him as a woodcutter who cuts wood for a living.
After thinking about all this, Alibaba said loudly: "Sesame, open the door!" โ
With the sound, the door of the cave opened, and Ali Baba took the gold coins out of the cave, and then said, "Sesame, close the door!" โ
The door closes.
Ali Baba carried the money and drove the donkey back to the city quickly. When he got home, he hurriedly unloaded his pack, untied the bundle of firewood, and carried the bag containing the gold coins into the room and placed it in front of his wife. When his wife saw that the bag was full of gold coins, she thought that Alibaba had taken a risk and robbed someone, so she scolded him, blaming him for not forgetting his righteousness and not doing bad things.
"Am I a robber? You should know my character. I never do anything bad. Ali Baba pleaded a few words, and then after telling his wife what happened in the mountains and the origin of the gold coins, he poured out the gold coins and piled them up in front of her.
Alibaba's wife was pleasantly surprised when she heard this, and she was dazzled by the shining gold coins. She sat down and busied herself counting the coins. Ali Baba said, "Look at you! If you continue to count like this, when will you be able to count them all? If someone barges in and sees this, that's bad. So, let's bury the gold coins first. โ
"Okay, just do it. But I still have to measure how many gold coins there are, and I have a good number in mind. โ
"It's something to be happy about, but you have to be careful not to tell anyone, or you'll get into trouble."
Alibaba's wife hurried to Gosimus's house to borrow a measuring device. When Gosimus was not at home, she said to his wife, "Sister-in-law, can you lend me your measuring instrument?" "#ๅ้กต#
"Okay, but what kind of measuring device do you want to borrow?"
"Just lend me Xiaosheng."
"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you." Gosimus's wife agreed.
Gosim's wife was a very curious person, and she wanted to know what Alibaba's wife borrowed from the liter, so she brushed a little beeswax on the bottom of the liter, because she believed that no matter what she measured, it would always stick to the beeswax. She wanted to satisfy her curiosity in this way.
Alibaba's wife did not understand this technique, so she hurried home with the liter and immediately began to use the liter to measure the gold coins.
Ali Baba dug the hole, and when her wife had finished counting the gold coins and his hole was dug in the ground, the two of them worked together to move the gold coins into the hole, carefully cover them with earth, and bury them.
There was a gold coin stuck to the beeswax on the rising bottom, but they didn't notice it. So when the kind-hearted woman returned Sheng to her sister-in-law, Gosimus's wife immediately found out that there was a gold coin attached to Sheng, and she was envious and jealous, and she said to herself:
"Ahh It turns out that they borrowed my liters to measure the gold coins. โ
She thought to herself, how could Alibaba, a poor bastard, use liters to measure gold coins?
There must be some secret in this.
Gosimus's wife thought about it and couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until sunset that when Gosimus returned from her swim, she immediately said to him, "You are a man! You always thought that you were a rich businessman, the richest person. Now open your eyes and see, your brother Ali Ba is poor on the surface, but secretly he is as rich as a prince and nobleman. I dare say he has a lot more wealth than you, and he has saved up more gold than he needs to fight. And your gold coins, just by looking at them, you will know how much they are. โ
"Where did you hear that?" Gosimus asked suspiciously.
Gosimus's wife immediately told him about the story of Alibaba's wife's coming to borrow and repay the sheng, as well as the gold coin she found stuck in the liter, and then showed him the gold coin with the name and year of the ancient emperor.
When Gosimus learned about this, she was amazed, and at the same time, she felt envious and suspicious. That night, as greedy thoughts haunted him, he tossed and turned all night sleepless, and the next morning he got up in a hurry, went to Ali Baba, and said:
"Brother! You pretend to be poor and pitiful on the surface, but in fact, you don't show your face. I know that you have amassed an infinite amount of gold coins, so much that it takes a bucket to count them. โ
Can you make it clearer? I don't understand what you're talking about. โ
"Don't pretend to be confused! You know very well what I'm talking about. Gosimus angrily showed him the gold coin,
"You have thousands of gold coins like this, and this is just the one that was found by my wife when you were measuring the gold coins."
Ali Baba suddenly realized that the matter had been known to Gosimus and his wife, and thought to himself: this matter can no longer be kept secret. In this case, I simply put it out in its entirety. Although he knew that this would lead to misfortune and disaster, he was forced to tell his brother about the robbers' treasure in the cave without reservation.
Gosimus heard this, and said in a fierce voice, "You must tell me everything you have seen, especially the exact address of the cave where the gold coins are kept, and the two spell codes that open and close the door of the cave. Now I want to warn you, if you don't tell me all this, I will go to the government and report you, and they will confiscate your money, arrest you and put you in jail, and you will end up with both money and money. "#ๅ้กต#
Under the coercion of his brother, Ali Baba had no choice but to tell the location of the cave and the code words for opening and closing the cave door word for word. Gosimus listened carefully, taking all the details to heart.
Early the next morning, Gosimus came to the mountains with ten hired mules. According to Alibaba's narration, he first found the big tree where Ali Baba was hiding, and successfully found the mysterious hole, the scene in front of him was similar to what BALL said, he believed that he had reached his destination, so he shouted loudly: "Sesame, open the door!"
