00:00Alibaba and the Forty Thieves

00:04Once upon a time, in a Persian city,

00:07there lived a carpet merchant,

00:09who had two sons,

00:11one named Kassim, the other Alibaba.

00:15After their father's death,

00:17the greedy Kassim took over his father's business,

00:21fooling the naive Alibaba.

00:24Kassim's father, Alibaba,

00:27had to maintain his wife and children.

00:30He earned his bread and butter

00:32by cutting and selling wood.

00:35One day, Alibaba was gathering wood in the forest.

00:39Suddenly, he heard the galloping of many horses.

00:44Huh? Huh?

00:47He hid himself behind the tree as he was afraid.

00:51There came a horse,

00:53and stopped near a big boulder in the mountain foot.

00:57They have swords and daggers on their waistbands.

01:01These must be a gang of thieves.

01:05What are they doing in the forest?

01:08One of the thieves, who looked like their leader,

01:11came in front of the boulder.

01:13Open sesame!

01:16Open sesame!

01:19Open sesame!

01:22Sesame!

01:26Alibaba couldn't believe his eyes.

01:30Whoa!

01:32The boulder was an entrance door to a dark cave.

01:36The burglars marched inside the cave,

01:39and the door got closed behind them.

01:42Alibaba was awestruck

01:44and couldn't move a single bone in terror.

01:48After some time, the door swung open again,

01:51and out came the thieves with empty hands.

01:56They left their sacks inside the cave.

02:00The thieves sat on the horse and disappeared from the forest.

02:05Oh, this must be their hideout for the treasure.

02:11Alibaba couldn't resist entering the cave.

02:14He stood in front of the boulder and shouted,

02:18Open sesame!

02:20The door got opened like before.

02:23Alibaba entered the cave.

02:27Oh ho!

02:30There were huge piles of gold, silver, precious utensils,

02:35diamonds, rubies, and much more,

02:38which Alibaba had never seen in his life.

02:43Oh!

02:45Alibaba rubbed his eyes in disbelief,

02:48but it was all there lying on the ground.

02:52I'll take some coins.

02:54The thieves won't even notice it.

02:57Alibaba filled a bag full of coins and reached for home.

03:02Look what I've got!

03:04Alibaba emptied the sack of gold coins in front of her.

03:09His wife was astonished to see so much gold.

03:13Ah!

03:15Have you stolen these coins?

03:17It's a long story.

03:19I have not stolen anything.

03:21It was already stolen.

03:24I will count these first.

03:26No, we can't count so many coins.

03:29Go to my brother's house and bring a weighing scale.

03:33Alibaba's wife quickly ran to the brother-in-law's house.

03:39Dear, give me a weighing scale for tonight.

03:42I will return it by tomorrow morning.

03:44What will you weigh with it?

03:46Nothing, just some grains.

03:48Kasim's wife was a cunning woman.

03:51She thought that Alibaba couldn't have so much grain to weigh.

03:55So she stuck wax below the scale and gave it to Alibaba's wife.

04:01Alibaba's wife weighed the gold coins and was very happy with the quantity.

04:07We have become rich.

04:09We can buy whatever we want.

04:11Not so soon.

04:12Everyone will suspect us.

04:14We cannot let anyone know our secret.

04:18Alibaba's wife accepted the conditions to keep mum.

04:21But on the second day, Kasim's wife discovered their secret by seeing the scales.

04:27She immediately informed Kasim about his brother's wealth.

04:32Alibaba has gold coins.

04:35Where did he get those?

04:37I must find out.

04:40Kasim grew so envious that he could not sleep.

04:44So he immediately went to Alibaba's house.

04:48Ali, how are you, brother?

04:51I came here to ask you if you need anything.

04:55Don't hesitate ever.

04:57Ask for whatever you want.

04:59Your elder brother is always here for you.

05:04Oh, brother.

05:05I'm glad that you came.

05:07Oh, brother.

05:08I'm glad that you care for me, but I have got enough wealth now.

05:13I don't need anything else.

05:16Wealth?

05:17Tell me about it.

05:20The innocent Alibaba couldn't hold the truth in his stomach.

05:23And he told Kasim everything about the thieves and the cave.

05:29That's great.

05:31I will go there tomorrow.

05:33After all, your money is my responsibility.

05:38I have to take care of it.

05:40Uh, what's the code word to open the cave?

05:45Open sesame.

05:47Open sesame.

05:49Open sesame.

05:51I will remember that.

05:53Open sesame.

05:55The next morning, Kasim left from his house with four sturdy mules to carry the gold.

06:01I will be richer than the richest.

06:06He reached the cave and shouted,

06:09Open sesame.

06:11And the door opened and shut behind him.

06:15Amazing.

06:16Unbelievable.

06:18So much gold.

06:20So many gems.

06:22I will take away everything from here.

06:25Kasim filled all the coins and gems in sacks.

06:29But as he came to the door to return,

06:31he just stood there thinking.

06:34What was the word?

06:38Open barley.

06:40Open wheat.

06:42Open the door.

06:44Open the door.

06:46Somebody, open it.

06:48In his excitement, Kasim forgot the password and got locked inside the cave.

06:54After a while, he heard the horses tapping.

06:58The forty thieves had come back to the cave.

07:01Open sesame.

07:04As the door got open, they all found Kasim sitting on his knees on the door.

07:10Without asking him a single question,

07:12the leader killed him with a dagger and left his body lying inside.

07:17Kasim's wife went to Ali Baba to inform him about Kasim's disappearance.

07:23He had gone to the cave.

07:25I will go to find him.

07:28Ali Baba went to the cave and found Kasim's body lying there.

07:33No. Oh, no.

07:37He put him on a mule and carried him to his home.

07:43Kasim's maid, Morgiana, heard everything about the incident.

07:48We have to hide the reason of his death from everyone.

07:51I will go to the doctor to get some medicine for him,

07:54so that we can pretend that he is ill.

07:56Tomorrow morning, we will announce that he is dead.

07:59Everyone agreed to her master plan.

08:02A few days passed, but Kasim's wife couldn't bear the grief and died.

08:07Nobody left here to serve.

08:10Please, allow me to work in your house.

08:13Ali Baba knew that she was a clever girl and would be helpful in the future.

08:19So, he took Morgiana to his house.

08:23The next day, the thieves came to the cave.

08:29Where is the dead body?

08:31There is someone else who knows our secret.

08:35It's the wealth we have gathered throughout our lives.

08:38Before we lose it, we have to find out who is our enemy.

08:42Go to the village and find out who has died recently.

08:47All the thieves scattered into the village to find out the person.

08:51One thief came to the doctor's house.

08:54Hello, doctor.

08:56Do you know any person who died within a few days?

09:00Yes, Kasim died.

09:02I gave him the medicine as his maid described the symptoms.

09:06But he died. I'm very sorry for him.

09:10That's very ill-fated.

09:12Where is his house?

09:14Nobody lives in that house, but he has a brother, Ali Baba.

09:18He lives down in the valley.

09:21The thieves suspected that Ali Baba must be the one who carried the body.

09:26So, he went to his house at night.

09:28There was no one in the alley.

09:31He made a mark on the door.

09:33Tomorrow, I will bring my gang and kill everyone in the house.

09:39The next morning, Morgiana saw the mark on the door.

09:43Clever Morgiana guessed that there was some danger for the family.

09:47She marked every house in the alley with the same mark.

09:52At midnight, the thieves came to the village but got confused

09:56because every house had the same mark.

09:59They went back disappointed.

10:02I'll go and find out tomorrow myself.

10:06The captain now resolved to go himself.

10:09But, wiser than the others, he did not mark the house

10:13but looked at it so closely that he could not fail to remember it.

10:19He called for 40 mules and 40 empty barrels.

10:23He filled one barrel with oil.

10:25In the remaining barrels, he asked to hide the other thieves.

10:29The leader then disguised himself as an oil merchant.

10:32He went to Ali Baba's house.

10:37Who do you want to meet?

10:39I'm an oil merchant traveling to Asia to sell the oil.

10:43It's night time and I'm looking for a shelter to spend the night.

10:48That's a great distance to travel.

10:51Please come inside and take some rest.

10:54Let me see your barrels first.

10:56Oh, why not? You must.

10:59A beautiful girl like you must check for her safety first.

11:03Morgiana luckily opened the barrel filled with oil.

11:07She got assured.

11:08The leader got relief.

11:10They all came in.

11:12Morgiana prepared a delicious dinner for the night.

11:15She served the dinner and saw one of the rings on the merchant's finger.

11:20She realized it's the similar ring Ali Baba bought with the treasure.

11:25She had her doubts again.

11:27She slowly went out near to the barrels and knocked on it.

11:32Shall we come out, master?

11:34Morgiana understood the whole trick.

11:37She checked all the barrels and found a thief hiding inside.

11:41She took the barrels filled with oil and heated them in a big cauldron.

11:46Then she poured a jug full of hot oil in every barrel.

11:50Oh! Ah!

12:01That way she cleared her way out of the thieves.

12:04At night, the leader came out to call out the fellow thieves.

12:08But when he opened the barrel, he was shocked and scared.

12:12Ah!

12:15He was trapped in his own trap.

12:17He escaped from there in fear.

12:20The next day, Morgiana told the incident to Ali Baba.

12:24You have saved my life.

12:26I can't thank you enough, girl.

12:28From now on, you are a member of this family, not just a maid.

12:33Thank you, majesty.

12:36They all stayed together as a happy family.

12:39Ali Baba was the only person who knew the secret of the treasure cave.

12:44Open sesame!
