    Ali Baba, a kind-hearted woodcutter, lived in this village. He led a simple life, cutting wood in the forest and selling it in the market.

    One day, while chopping wood, he noticed a group of men going into a secret cave. Intrigued, he decided to follow them.

    The leader of the group shouted 'Open Sesame' and to Ali Baba's surprise, the cave opened. He saw them carrying bags of gold inside.

    After the thieves left, Ali Baba uttered the same words and entered the cave. He was astonished by the wealth it contained.

    Ali Baba showed the gold to his elder brother, Cassim, who demanded to know where he had found it.
