《阿里巴巴和四十大盜》06?聰明的莫吉娜

Chapter 6 Clever Morgiana

Later, Morgiana visits the jars. She needs oil for her lamp.

'Is it time?' the thieves ask. 'No. Wait!' she answers. She puts hot oil in the jars, and the thieves die suddenly.       

When Arshad comes and knocks on the jars, nobody answers him. 

'Hey, my men are all dead!' he cries. He leaves very quickly. 

Some weeks later, Arshad comes back to town. Now he's wearing the clothes of a rich gold merchant.       

Arshad opens a new shop. Ali Baba's son, Morad, has Kasim's old shop across the street. Arshad and Morad are soon friends.       

'Father, can my new friend come for dinner?' Morad asks Ali Baba one day. 'Of course,' Ali Baba says. 

Ali Baba doesn't recognize Arshad when he comes to the house for dinner. 

But when clever Morgiana brings the dinner, she recognizes him at once. 

After dinner, Morgiana dances for them. Suddenly Arshad attacks Ali Baba with a knife. Morgiana quickly attacks Arshad, and she kills him.       

After that, she explains everything. 

'Morgiana, you're the cleverest servant in all Persia!' Ali Baba says. 'You must marry Morad, and have some treasure, too!' 'Thank you, Father!' Morad and Morgiana say. 

The two of them marry, and they move into the next house in the street. In time, they have many children, and they live there very happily for many years.
