A Fable

Once upon a time in Baghdad There lived two kids n their dad The old man died The sons sighed They were Allibaba n cassim They lived at a forests rim Cassim married a rich girl But aaladin a woodcutter married a poor girl One day when aaladin went to cut wood He overheard forty thieves from where he stood They were planning to open their treasure house Aaladin quickly climbed a tree so hes not seen poking his nose They went to a cave n loudly said open SimSim The cave opened but the light was dim There lay before them treasures of the world After they finished said close Sim Sim the doors closed after they were heralded Now Alladin came down n heralded them open for treasures He collected a few treasures his joy was beyond measures He borroed a scale from his brothers place Brothers wife being clever stuck some wax under the scale in place When he went to return the scales Brother learnt of his treasures tales Now Cassim went to try his luck He collected his share but was stuck Thieves returned they saw n killed him Finding him missing went to get but found his bodys trim With the help of a girl who took the body n sewed up his body So about the type of his death would be guessed by nobody Now the thieves finding the body missing knew The cave was infilterated by a few They approached the man who sewed Cassim Asked him to tell them the brothers house n goaded him Knowing about it they marked the house in one manner But that girl was watching she marked all houses n so none fell in their scanner Now when one time they learnt who Alladin was They planned to kill him without much pause They brought forty cans filled with oil as a gift In thirty eight thieves hid so to attack him whe the lid he would lift The girl learnt of this she played a trick She poured boiling hot liquid in each n they died could not stick Alladin gifted the girl a lot of wealth And finally married her to his son as he had a sound mental health.
