Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves

There once was a poor woodcutter, named Ali Baba. He lived in the small wooden house near the forest.

One day he was gathering wood in the forest when a band of thieves approached. He hid and watched them enter a cave that opened when they said the words, “Alakazam, open!” After they departed, Ali Baba stood before the cave and gave the command “Alakazam, open!” He was surprised, the cave opened to reveal an enormous supply of gold and treasures. Ali Baba packed some of the gold on his donkeys and returned home.

His brother Qasim was rich but hardhearted merchant, discovered Ali Baba's new wealth, he demanded an explanation. The next day Qasim visited the cave and greedily gathered as much treasure as he could, but forgot the formula for leaving the cave. The thieves opened the cave and found Qasim over there. The leader of the thieves killed him.

Qasim’s wife was worried why her husband did not come home for a day. She asked Ali Baba to look for him. Ali Baba went to the cave and was surprised that his brother killed. He brought his brother’s body home and one knew it and reported that to the leader of the thieves.

The following day the leader of the thieves planed to kill Ali Baba and he came to his house. He tried to kill him, fortunately his slave, Murganah, helped him. She swung a sword and killed the leader of the thieves. Murganah freed Ali Baba from the murder.

Finally Ali Baba married Murganah and they lived happily ever after.

Activity 14: Analyzing the schematic structure of the narrative text

Once upon a time there was a young girl named Cinderella who lived with her stepmother and two stepsisters.

Cinderella’s stepmother and stepsisters were conceited and bad tempered. They treated Cinderella very badly. Her stepmother made Cinderella do the hardest work in the house, such as scrubbing the floor and cleaning the pots and pans. She gave Cinderella an old ragged dress to wear. The two stepsisters, on the other hand, did no work about the house, and their mother gave them many handsome dresses to wear.


One day the two stepsisters received an invitation to a ball that the king’s son was going to give at the palace. They were excited about this and spent so much time choosing the dresses they would wear. At last the day of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella could not help crying after they had left.

“Why are you crying, Cinderella? A voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy godmother standing beside her. “Because I want so much to go to the ball,” said Cinderella. “Well,” said her godmother, “you’ve been such a cheerful, uncomplaining, hardworking girl that I am going to see that you do go to the ball”.

Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and mice into a coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderella’s ragged dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. “Now, Cinderella,“ she said, “you must leave before midnight.” Then, away she drove in her beautiful coach.

Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and again with the king’s son. Suddenly, the clock began to strike twelve. She ran towards the door as quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of her glass slippers came off and was left behind.

A few days later the king’s son proclaimed he would marry the girl whose foot fitted the glass slipper. The king’s page came to Cinderella’s house. Her stepsisters tried on the slipper but it was too small for them no matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it. The king’s page let Cinderella try on the slipper. She stuck out her foot, and the page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly.

Finally, she was driven to the palace. The king’s son was overjoyed to see her again. They were married and lived happily ever after.
