In a distant land, a poor carpenter named Ali Baba was chopping wood in a dense forest. Suddenly, he heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching. He quickly hid behind a large tree, his heart pounding in his chest.

Ali Baba watched in amazement as forty horsemen dismounted and stood in front of a large rock. The leader of the thieves approached the rock and pronounced the words "Open Sesame". To Ali Baba's astonishment, the rock moved, revealing a hidden cave.

The thieves entered the cave, leaving their horses outside. After a while, they came out, their bags filled with treasures. Once they had all left, the leader again uttered "Close Sesame", and the cave entrance disappeared.

Once the thieves had left, Ali Baba approached the rock and repeated the magic words. The cave opened, revealing a vast treasure. With wide eyes and a racing heart, he stepped inside.

Ali Baba filled his pockets with as many gold coins as he could carry. He then carefully left the cave, uttering "Close Sesame", and the entrance disappeared once more. He headed home, dreaming of the new life that awaited him.

At home, Ali Baba tried to keep his newfound wealth a secret. But his brother Qasim noticed the sudden change in his lifestyle and insisted on knowing the reason. Ali Baba, under pressure, revealed his secret.

Blinded by greed, Qasim decided to visit the cave himself. He repeated the magic words and entered the cave. But in his greed, he forgot the words to exit and was trapped inside when the thieves returned.

The thieves discovered Qasim and, as punishment for his intrusion, they killed him. Meanwhile, Ali Baba became worried when his brother did not return. He went to the cave and found his brother's lifeless body.

Ali Baba was heartbroken but knew he had to be smart. He took his brother's body home and told everyone that Qasim had died of natural causes. Meanwhile, the thieves realized that someone else knew about their secret hideout.
