Ali Baba (Al Bb) is a character from the folk tale Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. This story is included in many versions of the One Thousand and One Nights, to which it was added by Antoine Galland in the 18th century. It is one of the most familiar of the "Arabian Nights" tales, and has been widely retold and performed in many media, especially for children, where the more violent aspects of the story are often suppressed.In the story, Ali Baba is a poor woodcutter who discovers the secret of a thieves' den, entered with the phrase "Open Sesame". The thieves learn this and try to kill Ali Baba, but Ali Baba's faithful slave-girl foils their plots. Ali Baba gives his son to her in marriage and keeps the secret of the treasure.Ali Baba and his elder brother Cassim are the sons of a merchant. After their father's death, the greedy Cassim marries a wealthy woman and becomes well-to-do, building on their father's business. Ali Baba marries a poor woman and settles into the trade of a woodcutter.One day, Ali Baba is at work collecting and cutting firewood in the forest, and he happens to overhear a group of 40 thieves visiting their treasure store. The 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 discreetly takes a single bag of gold coins home.Ali Baba and his wife borrow his sister-in-law's scales to weigh their new wealth. Unbeknownst to them, Cassim's wife puts a blob of wax in the scales to find out what Ali Baba is using them for, as she is curious to know what kind of grain her impoverished brother-in-law needs to measure. To her shock, she finds a gold coin sticking to the scales and tells her husband. Under pressure from his brother, Ali Baba is forced to reveal the secret of the cave. Cassim goes to the cave, taking a donkey with him to take as much treasure as possible. He enters the cave with the magic words. But in his greed and excitement over the treasure, he forgets the words to get out again. 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 quartered and with each piece displayed just inside the cave's entrance, as a warning to anyone else who might try to enter.To learn more about Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_BabaPLEASE SUBSCRIBE: https://goo.gl/Gkr873Links to all our FairyTales and Bedtime Stories for Kids :1- Little Red Riding Hood : https://youtu.be/RT-EwqgHqCk2- Cinderella : https://youtu.be/HKSRbsJVli03- Rapunzel : https://youtu.be/N2DYQumSvCQ4- Bremen Town Musicians : https://youtu.be/K5gr-A03RFM5- Snow White : https://youtu.be/payHOUiOuxQ 6- The Little Mermaid : https://youtu.be/pf_xz7GFCHw7- Snow Queen : https://youtu.be/-Rkb88fPMd88- Sleeping Beauty : https://youtu.be/fz531jczzQ09- Jungle Book : https://youtu.be/BS_ofTKqR1w 10- Heidi : https://youtu.be/bVgWSqtHo2Q11- Beauty and the Beast : https://youtu.be/fkCPEujxTho12- Alice in Wonderland : https://youtu.be/8AaPHUYMnW813- Pinocchio : https://youtu.be/aewbOlGXv6s14- Hansel and Gretel : https://youtu.be/jfg-CYLs9_s15- Aladdin and the Magic Lamp : https://youtu.be/w5Ga-iHRaPM16- Puss in Boots : https://youtu.be/C6O9Af_SsnI17- The Little Match Girl : https://youtu.be/LRjeVRpFRuM18- The Frog Prince : https://youtu.be/Dhq_FEUEc8Y19- Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves : https://youtu.be/vsHS6lLrrf420- The Wolf and The Seven Little Goats : https://youtu.be/OZl3gjh5IhM21- Three Little Pigs : https://youtu.be/-gdcgnSrUvU22- 12 Dancing Princesses : https://youtu.be/VnSdDcm4rdA
