Deep in the forest, a poor woodcutter hears a secret password — “Open Sesame” — and discovers a treasure hidden by forty dangerous thieves.
In this thrilling folktale from Persia, we meet Ali Baba, a kind man who uncovers a magical cave full of gold. But when the thieves try to find and punish the intruder, it’s not Ali Baba who saves the day — it’s Morgiana, his loyal and clever servant girl, who outwits the thieves and protects the family. Full of magic words, close calls, and a seriously smart heroine, this story has enchanted listeners for centuries.
Join Mili and Abby as they unlock one of the most legendary stories from Arabian Nights, explore its lessons about greed, bravery, and loyalty — and finish with a fun Lightning Round quiz.
✨ A tale of treasure, trickery, and the power of clever thinking.
