天方夜谭

　　In a certain town in Persia there lived two brothers, one named Cassim, and the other Ali Baba.

　　Cassim had married a rich wife, and lived like a lord and did nothing. While Ali Baba, who had married for love, and not for money, had to work hard for his living. Every day he went to cut wood in the forest, loaded his three asses with it, and then brought it back to sell in the town.

　　Now one day, while Ali Baba was in the forest, he noticed, far off, a great cloud of dust, and as it came nearer he saw that the dust was made by a company of men galloping along.

　　"They must be robbers, " said Ali Baba to himself, trembling.

　　Ali Baba was a cautious man；so hiding his asses he climbed a tree which stood near a great rock, and hid himself among the branches, where he could see without being seen. By and by a band of horsemen appeared. Ali Baba counted forty. When they came under the tree, they all dismounted and began to take off their saddlebags, which, Ali Baba guessed, were filled with gold.

　　Then the Captain of the band went up to the rock, and in a loud voice said, "Open Sesame. "

　　And behold！A door which was hidden in the rock swung slowly open, and the whole band of robbers marched in. After a while they came out again, and the Captain shouted, "Shut Sesame." The door at once closed behind them, and no one could have guessed that there was any opening in the solid rock.

　　As soon as the robbers had mounted and ridden off, Ali Baba climbed quickly down, and as remembered the words he had heard, he went up to the rock and cried, "Open Sesame."

　　The door swung wide open, Just as it had done before, and Ali Baba walked in. He found himself in a huge cave piled up with rich wares and great bags of gold and silver. He went out and brought his asses to the door, and loaded them with six bags full of gold, which he carefully covered with bundles of wood. Then he cried aloud, "Shut Sesame," and the door closed without a sound, and there was no trace of the opening left.

　　Now when Ali Baba arrived home, and his wife saw the bags of gold she looked at him most sorrowfully." O my husband, " she cried, "can it be that you have become a----"

　　"No, I am not a thief,”answered Ali Baba, and he told her of his adventure in the cave, and how he had found the gold.

　　Then the poor woman was joyful indeed, and began to try to count the gold which Ali Baba had poured out of the bags.

　　"That is a foolish thing to do,” said Ali Baba, "it would take weeks to count. Leave it alone, and I will dig a hole in the garden and hide it."

　　"But it would surely be wiser to know how much we have,” said his wife. “ I will go and borrow a measure from your brother Cassim, and then I can weigh the gold while you are digging the hole."

　　So she went to Cassim ' s house, and as he was out she begged his wife to lend her a measure.

　　"With pleasure,” answered Cassim' s wife. But she wondered why Ali Baba should want a measure. So she rubbed the bottom of the measure with a little lard, hoping that some of whatever was put into it might stick to the bottom.

　　Very hastily Ali Baba ' s wife went home, and having measured out the gold, carried the measure back to here sister-in-law. But she never noticed that a piece of gold had stuck to the bottom of the measure.

　　"What is this？" cried Cassim' s wife, when she discovered it. " So Ali Baba is too rich to count his gold, and is obliged to measure it！"

　　When Cassim came home and heard the story he was filled with rage, and went over at once to his brother' s house.

　　"What do you mean by deceiving me？" He cried, " My wife has found out that you have so much gold that you can not even count it. Tell me this moment how you came by it."

　　Ali Baba saw at once how his secret had been discovered, and so he told his brother the whole story, and even repeated to him the magic words, begging him to keep the secret well.

　　Then Cassim went home, and taking twelve donkeys, set out to find the cave which Ali Baba had pointed out. When he came to it, he tied his donkeys outside, and then said, "Open Sesame," and at once the secret door was open！

　　Now Cassim was a very greedy man, and he was so glad when he saw all the robbers' treasure that he danced for joy. He chose twenty-four of the largest bags of gold and dragged them to the door. Then he found, to his great alarm, that he had forgotten the magic words.

　　"Open Barley,” he cried. But the door remained shut. You must know that Sesame is a kind of grain in Persia, and Cassim thought Barley would do as well. Then he tried to remember every kind of grain he had ever heard of, but it was no use, the door never opened an inch.

　　Just then the robber band came riding up, and when the Captain shouted “ Open Sesame,”and walked in, he found Cassim there with all the bags of gold which he was trying to carry off.

　　Great was the rage of the robbers when they found that their secret hiding-place was discovered. They fell upon Cassinm and cut him up into pieces, and hung the pieces just inside the cave as a warning to any one who should try to steal their gold.

　　When night came and Cassim did not return home, his wife was much alarmed, and went to Ali Baba to beg him to find out what had become of her husband. So very early in the morning, Ali Baba took his three asses and went off to the robbers' cave.

　　"Open Sesame,” he cried, and when the door opened he walked in.

　　Alas！It was as he had feared. His brother had been killed by the robbers and cut into pieces. Ali Baba took the pieces down and placed them on one of his asses. But he loaded the other two asses with four more bags of gold.

　　Then he returned home, and when he knocked at the door of Cassim' s house it was opened by a slave called Morgiana, who was the cleverest and best of all his brother' s servants.

　　Ali Baba took Morgiana aside and spoke secretly to her. " Your master has been killed by robbers and cut into pieces,” he said, "but no one must know about it. Think therefore of some plan to keep it secret." For he knew what a clever girl Morgiana was.

　　Then he went into the house and told Cassim' s wife the sad news.

　　"Do not grieve," he said, "You shall come and live with me and my wife and share all our treasure. Only we must be careful that no one guesses our secret."

　　So they unloaded the pieces of Cassim, and told all the neighbours that he had died suddenly in the night.

　　Then Morgiana went to an old cobbler who lived some distance off, and begged him to come with her, and bring his needles and thread with him. “ Your work must be secret,”she said, "and I must blindfold you before I lead you to the house."

　　At first the old cobbler refused, but when Morgiana slipped a piece of gold into his hand, he let himself be blindfolded and led to Cassim' s house. Then Morgiana bade him sew together the pieces of her master' s body, and he did it so neatly that no one could see the joins. Then she again blindfolded him and led him home.

　　So it seemed as if the secret was safe, and Ali Baba and his wife went to live with Cassim' s wife.

　　But when the robbers returned to the cave and found the body gone, as well as four bags of gold, they were filled with rage and fury.

　　"Some one else knows our secret," they cried. "We must discover at once who this some one is."

　　So it was agreed that one of the robbers should disguise himself, go into the town, and try to find out the man who had carried off the body and stolen their gold.

　　Now it so happened that as the robber entered the town very early the next morning, the first shop he saw open belonged to the old cobbler who had sewed Cassim' s body together.

　　"Good Morning, honest man," said the robber；"you begin work early. Surely your eyes are too old to see well in this early hour？"

　　"Old as I am, I have very good eyes," answered the cobbler. " Why, only yesterday I sewed four pieces of a man' s body together, so that nobody could see the joins."

　　"Indeed," said the robber, "and who might the man be？"

　　"That I could not tell you if I would," answered the cobbler, "for I was led blindfold to his house, and brought back the same way."

　　Then the robber slipped a piece of gold into the cobbler' s hand, and begged him to try to show him the house.

　　"I will blindfold you," said he, "and you can lead me the same way as you were taken yesterday. If you can show me the house you shall have more gold."

　　So at last the cobbler consented, and when he was blindfolded he walked slowly until he came to Cassim' s house and there he stopped. "This must be the place," he said, "as far as I can remember."

　　Then the robber took a piece of chalk out of his pocket and made a white mark on the door so that he might know it again. When he had done this he returned in great spirits to his companions in the forest.

　　Not long after, as Morgiana was carrying water into the house, her sharp eyes noticed a strange mark upon the door. “ This is some evil sign which may work mischief against my master," she said.

　　So she fetched a piece of chalk and marked all the houses in the street with the same mark.

　　Now when the robbers heard that their companion had discovered the house belonging to the man they had cut into pieces, they were very glad, but when that very night the cobbler led them to the street, behold！Every door had the same mark upon it, and it was impossible to tell which house was the one they sought.

　　"Fool," cried the robber chief angrily, "is this your clever work？You shall be put to death at once, and I myself will discover where this thief lives."

　　So the next day the Captain disguised himself, and went to the old cobbler, who again led the way to Cassim 's house. But the Captain was too clever to mark the house with chalk this time. He looked carefully at it until he was sure he would know it again, and then he went back to prepare for the night' s work.

　　First he bought twenty mules and then thirty-nine large jars for holding oil. One of these jars he filled with oil, but in each of the other empty jars a robber hid himself, and the Captain loaded the mules with the jars and set out for the town.

　　When they came to the house which the Captain had so carefully noted, he found Ali Baba standing outside enjoying the evening air.

　　"Good evening,” said the Captain, with a low bow, "may I lodge with you this night, and will you allow me to leave my oil-jars in your courtyard？I am an oil merchant and have come from afar."

　　"Come in, come in," said Ali Baba kindly, and he opened the gate for the mules to go into the yard. Then he ordered Morgiana to get ready a hot supper for the guest.

　　Now the Captain had told each of the robbers that the moment he threw a pebble into the yard they were to jump out of the jars and come to help him. So they sat patiently、waiting in the jars, until the signal should be given.

　　Meanwhile Morgiana was busily cooking the supper, but was obliged to stop because her lamp went out suddenly, and she found there was no oil in the house. " I can easily take a little from the great jars in the yard," she said to herself. So she took her lamp and went to fill it, but as she came near the first jar a voice whispered, "Is it time？"

　　"Not yet,” she said, going to the next jar. From each jar came the same question, and to each she gave the same answer, until she came to the last jar, and this she saw was really filled with oil.

　　"Aha！" said Morgiana, "pretty oil merchant this is！It is a plot to rob and murder my master."

　　Then she quickly filled a great pot with oil out of the last jar, and set it to boil on the fire. And when the oil was boiling she poured some of it into each of the jars in which the robbers were hidden and killed them all.

　　Thus, when the Captain threw his pebble into the yard not a robber appeared, and when he came down and looked into the jars he found that all his men were dead. His plan was discovered, and he fled for his life.

　　The next morning Morgiana led Ali Baba into the yard and showed him the jars. He started with terror when he looked into the first and saw a man inside, but Morgiana quickly told him the whole story, and showed him that all the robbers were dead.

　　Great indeed was the joy of Ali Baba when he saw what a danger he had escaped.

　　"From this moment you are no longer a slave," he said to Morgiana； "I set you free, and you shall have other rewards as well."

　　The Captain meanwhile had returned to the cave, but he was so lonely and miserable without his men that he could not stay there. Besides, he was more eager than ever to be revenged on Ali Baba, and so he thought of another plan. He disguised himself as a great merchant, and took a shop exactly opposite to the one belonging to Ali Baba' s son.

　　The great merchant was so rich and so friendly that Ali Baba 's son soon became very fond of him and invited him to his father's house to supper, wishing to pay him great honour.

　　But when the false merchant arrived, he said to Ali Baba, "Much as I should like to sup with you, I fear I cannot. I have made a vow never to taste salt, and thus my food has to be specially prepared."

　　"That is an easy matter, " said Ali Baba；"I will order that no salt be put into any of the food tonight."

　　When Morgiana heard the order she thought there was something very strange about it, and she looked attentively at the guest when she carried in the dishes.

　　What was her horror when she knew the man to be the Captain of the robbers, and saw that he had a dagger hidden in his sleeve ！

　　"No wonder he would not eat salt with the man he means to kill," she said.

　　Then she dressed herself as a dancer, and when supper was finished she took a dagger in her hand, and went to dance before Ali Baba and the company.

　　She danced so wonderfully that every one was delighted, and the false merchant took out his purse to drop a piece of gold into her tambourine. But as she held the tambourine out to him, with the other hand she plunged the dagger into his heart.

　　"Oh, Morgiana," cried Ali Baba, "What have you done to my guest？"

　　"I have saved your life," cried Morgiana. "See here," and she showed them the dagger hidden in the merchant's sleeve, and then told them who he really was.

　　Then Ali Baba embraced Morgiana, for he was grateful indeed.

　　"You shall marry my son ," he cried, "and become my daughter, for you deserve well the greatest reward that I can give."

　　For a long time after this Ali Baba was afraid to return to the wonderful cave, but at the end of a year he went back once more, and found that everything had been left untouched since the death of the robbers. There was nothing now to fear. So Ali Baba became richer than any one else in all that land, for the cave never failed to open its secret door to him when he uttered the magic word, " Open Sesame."
