Ali Baba and the Forty Theif (4) [Ali Baba]
Ali Baba and the Forty Theif (4)
Ali Baba did not see any reason for this, but he did not want to upset his wife so he let her have her way.
She immediately went to Cassim to ask him for a measuring cup.
Cassim's wife opened the door.
" A measuring cup ? " she asked, astonished.
" Yes, the biggest one you have ! " replied Ali Baba's wife.
Cassim's wife lent her the cup, but she secetly stuck some candle-wax on the bottom because she wanted to know what there was to measure at a poor woodcutter's house.
When Ali Baba's wife returned home she began to scoop up the gold with the cup.
She filled it once, twice, many times.
A little while later she returned the cuo to her sister-in-law but, in her hurry, she did not notice that there was a gold piece stuck to the bottom.
