left penniless and homeless. All his friends left him.

In despair, he went to a nearby town to find some work. The day wore on. Nobody

wanted to employ him. One day as he was about to leave he noticed an eldery sheikh walking

down the stone steps. He looked sad. Realising that the old man was his long uncle, he cried

out with joy. When the old man learnt all that had happened to him, he agreed to take him.

However, Hakim had to promise to work hard. He consented gladly.

His uncle live an a grand palace. When they reached the courtyard, Hakim saw four old

sheikhs weeping before a closed door. As time passed, Hakim kept his promise and continued

to work hard. One by one the old sheikhs died. Hakim remained puzzled as to why they

mourned and grieved. Soon afterwards, his uncle fell and before he die, he warned Hakim,

“Whatever you do, Don’t open that closed door or you’ll bring sorrow to yourself for the rest of

your life”

After his uncle died, Hakim’s luck became even better. He married a beautiful rich girl

and lived in a perfect happiness. He had everything he wanted. One day, he passed the closed

door and stopped to look it. What’s the mystery behind this door? He wandered. His curiosity

became so strong that he couldn’t resist drawing back the tarnished bolts. He fell into a tunnel

which twisted and turned. A giant appeared befo re him, looking angry. “Fool!” he boomed,”

Now you’ve lost everything you have and you’ll regret it for the rest of your life!”. He picked

Hakim up and carried him away from the tunnel to a strange country where he knew no one

there.

Hakim soon grew weak and ill from grieving. Shortly afterwards, he died carrying with

befriended Ali Baba's nephew (who is now in

charge of the late Kasim's business), and was

invited to dinner at Ali Baba's house.

Resolution 3 He was recognised by Morgiana, who

performed a dance with a dagger for the
