Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves

Long ago in Persia, there lived two brothers. Kasim　was a rich merchant, but Ali Baba was only a poor woodcutter.

 I like Arabian nights. Alibaba and 40 thieves had many lessonical expressions. Particularly felt that where greedy Kasim got out of the cave. I know Alibaba and the 40 thieves, the story ends there. But in this book Kasim was killed by thieves and Alibaba became wealthy. I felt that the grotesque scenes for children were left it out. It was good that Morgiana who was a slave’s position married Alibaba’s son. It was Arabic that camels and oil merchants etc. appeared in old tales. However, Kasim who was slash apart by thieves was a little poor.
