This story is about a man named Alibaba, who turned out to be a poor and penniless woodcutter. Honest and upright, kind-hearted. Once, on the way of chopping wood, I accidentally found the treasure house of the bandit group, and I wanted to bring a lot of treasure, but he was not selfish. However, after the robbers knew it, they planned to get rid of this future trouble. Thanks to the help of maid Megan, Alibaba saved the day and defeated the robbers. Megane tactfully sabotaged the bandits' evil plan three times, resulting in two bandits dying by their companions' swords, and another 37 bandits being burned to death by her boiling oil. Finally, she was alert to the sinister plot of the bandit leader. She bravely took advantage of dancing and stabbed him to death with a dagger. Alibaba gave her half of the treasure and asked his nephew to marry her.

This book vividly depicts a life story that happened in the Arab Empire in the Middle Ages: Ali, a poor and penniless woodcutter, stumbled upon the treasure of the bandit group on his way to chop wood. He got a lot of wealth easily, but he didn't keep all of it for himself. However, good intentions did not pay off, and the robbers plotted to kill Alibaba in order to eliminate future troubles.

Ali got help from Margina, a clever, witty and hateful maid who saved the day and defeated the robbers. And let his nephew marry Maggie, the maid who helped him three times. The language of the work is easy to understand and the plot is wonderful, which vividly expresses people's yearning and pursuit of a better life. It also tells us from the side that we should be an upright and grateful person.
