Granville (Herbert Granville) Ali Baba en de veertig roovers (Verhaal uit de Duizend en een Nacht) Produced by Jeroen Hellingman and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net/ for Project Gutenberg. "Ali Baba en de veertig roovers (Verhaal uit de Duizend en een Nacht)" by Gerhard et al. is a classic tale from the collection "One Thousand and One Nights." This narrative likely dates back to the medieval period when these stories were transmitted orally and later documented. The tale centers around the character Ali Baba, a poor woodcutter who discovers the secret den of a band of forty thieves, which becomes the source of his fortune and mischief. The opening of the story introduces us to Ali Baba and his wealthier brother, Casim, who's married into riches. One day, Ali Baba stumbles upon the thieves' secret hideout and overhears the magic words that open it, leading to his immense wealth. While his good fortune sets the stage, it also breeds envy and jealousy from his brother Casim, who becomes embroiled in a dangerous quest to claim the riches for himself, eventually leading to dire consequences. The beginning sets a tone of intrigue, danger, and moral lessons about greed and wisdom, as it outlines the quick transformations in fate based on one's actions.
