《阿里巴巴和四十大盗》03 卡西姆和藏宝洞

Chapter 3 Kasim visits the cave
 
At Ali Baba's house, a young woman opens the door to Kasim. She's Morgiana, Ali Baba's new servant.
 
Kasim asks his brother, 'Where's this gold coin from?' Ali Baba explains.       
 
Later, Kasim visits the cave. 'Open Sesame!' he says and goes in. 'It's my treasure now!' he cries. The cave door closes behind him.        
 
'Open Salt!' he says when he wants to leave. But the cave door doesn't open.            
 
When the thieves arrive, they find Kasim. They kill him angrily.       
 
'Cut his body into four pieces!' their chief, Arshad, says. 'Do more people know about our cave? This dead body can scare them, and stop their visits!' 
 
Later, Ali Baba finds Kasim's body. He takes it back home. 'Perhaps the thieves can find and kill me now!' he says. 'Help! What can I do?'          
 
'Kasim's very ill, tell everybody,' Morgiana says. 'The cobbler, Baba Mustafa, can come and sew up Kasim's body. Then we can bury it.'
