Ali Baba & the Forty Thieves

Haitham Sabagh

I read ALI BABA. This title means father Ali in the Arabic language. It's the Arabic version story. The story is a famous children's story. I started reading it on 18th of August and I finished reading it on the same day.

The main characters are ALI BABA, his wife and his daughter Leia. His job is cutting wood And he's a poor man.

One day when he was cutting wood, Ali Baba heard the sound of some horses and men.They stopped near his tree. They looked fierce and dangerous and Ali Baba knew that they were thieves. The leader of the thieves went up and stood in front of a big round stone. He put up his hands and cried. The stone opened slowly and Ali Baba could see a cave. It was big and very dark. The thieves did something and they went out. Ali Baba wanted to know what was inside. He was still afraid but he climbed down and walked over to the stone. He put up his hands and whispered. The stone moved and Ali Baba walked into the cave. He could not believe his eyes. The cave was full of gold and silver. Everywhere he looked he saw gold,gold boxes. Quickly Ali Baba took a bag of gold coins and ran out of the cave. He rode home as fast as he could.

'Look what i have found' he cried to his wife. When she looked in the bag,her eyes grew round with surprise. Ali Baba told her about the thieves.She cried to her daughter, 'Leia,come here. Come and see what your father has found. And then he is going to go to take the all gold and he became very rich man.'

I think the best point in this book is If there is a chance for change it must be exploited, because the chance comes once in a life.

I rate this book as good because it's very nice. The English level I rate as easy so I want to introduce it to my fellow students. :-)
