However, Mr. Zhi Puhao, a researcher in Arabic literature, pointed out: "Garland first introduced the translation of Arabian Nights to French scholars in the West. After translating and publishing the Arabian Nights in seven volumes, he discovered many oriental stories one after another, and translated them into five volumes and published them one after another, including Aladdin and the Magic Lamp, Alibaba and the Forty Thieves, which were not found in the original Arabian Nights. "
According to this view, Aladdin and the magic lamp, Alibaba and the forty thieves, a fable, have nothing to do with each other and belong to independent Arab folk stories.

Ali, who is simple and optimistic, is the servant of Master kasimo, and was ordered to buy back the dancer Molkella at this day's party. Kasimo wants to do something bad to the dancers, and Alibaba plans to rescue Mokkila. On the way to buy a pet for Mokkila, forty thieves robbed the camel team, and Alibaba hid in the rattan cage and mixed into the cave where the thieves hid the treasure, and wrote down the formula for opening the door.
Alibaba took countless gold, silver and jewels from the cave, became the master of Ali, and married Mokkila. The leaders of the forty thieves who got wind of it came to test, and the thieves hiding in the wine cellar were eager to get back the treasure at the party. The pious Ali believes that God entrusted this wealth to him with a unique intention.
