Kind: Fable

Main Character: Ali Baba

I will introduce this story. Ali Baba is very poor, but he is happy. He has a kind wife and daughter.

One day when he was cutting wood, Ali Baba saw some thieves. They hid some treasure in a cave. He saw it and tried to get in there. There was lots of gold and silver. He went back with some treasure. His family was glad to see some treasure. They were rich.

He told his brother and his brother went to that place. Then, his brother was found by the thieves. His brother said to the thieves about him. But Ali escaped the thieves. His daughter noticed them and drove them away. His family spent richly.

This story was lucky for Ali Baba. I think it is because he is a good man. It is nice he and his brother were saved. The story is good.
