ALI BABA AND FORTY THIEVES

Ali Baba was such a poor man that he had only one shoe for his two feet. Even mice in his house were hungry.

One day his wife said, "We have no food in the house. No rice. No potatoes. Go and collect leaves in the forest so that I can make a soup."

Ali was a lazy man. He looked for leaves for about ten minutes and then he climbed a tree to sleep. He was afraid of wolves. When he woke up he was surprised to see forty thieves on forty horses. They stopped in front of the big rock.

"Open, Sesame!" shouted the leader. A door in the rock opened. The thieves carried sacks full of gold into the cave. When they had finished, the leader shouted, "Close, Sesame!" and the door closed. As soon as the thieves had disappeared, Ali Baba jumped down from the tree and said, "Open, Sesame" and went into the cave.

There were shelves all around the walls. The shelves were full of sacks. The sacks were full of gold. Ali took a sack home with him.

One of the thieves saw Ali's footprints on the sand. He followed them to Ali's home. He took out his knife and made a cross on the door.

"Now I shall know which house it is", he said. He rode off to get the other thieves. But Ali had seen the thief.

He and his wife took the brooms and swept away the footprints. Then he made crosses on every door in the street. When the forty thieves arrived they had their knives between their teeth. But they never found Ali - or the gold. And Ali and his wife lived happily ever after.

The Boy who Saved the Netherlands.

Many years ago in Harlem, Holland, there lived a young boy. His name was Hans and he was eight years old. One autumn day, Hans went across the channel to visit an old blind man. He took the man some biscuits and stayed there for a while. Then, Hans decided to return home.

"Be careful, Hans" said the old man. "The water in the canal usually gets higher in autumn." On his way home, Hans sang a song, watched the rabbits run around and picked some flowers for his mother. Suddenly, the sky got dark and heavy rain began to fall. Hans felt scared and started to run. Just then, he heard the sound of water flowing away .He looked around carefully, and then noticed a very small hole in the dike.

Hans felt frightened because he knew what could happen. The small hole could get bigger and bigger. Then the dike could burst and flood Holland. Hans knew what to do. He put his finger into the hole, so no more water cold come through it. "Please, someone help me!" Hans shouted. But there was no one to help him. After a while, he began to feel very cold and tired, but he could not leave the dike. All night long, Hans waited and waited…

The next morning, a priest walked by and heard Hans' cries. "I am trying to stop the water," the boy said. "Can you help me?" the priest called some other people and they quickly mended the hole. Finally, they took Hans home. Everyone was very proud of that brave boy.
