4. Ali’s Wife
“What an absurd man you are!” she
cried. “Tell me where the treasure is, and
I’ll get it myself.” But Ali refused to say
where he had found the treasure. He also
told his wife that she must not go looking
for it.
That night, Alis’ wife lay awake in bed.
How could she get the treasure? Where
could it be? Then, she suddenly sat up
straight.
“Of course!” she whispered. “Part of Ali’s
shirt is still on the bramble bush.”
Now that she knew where the treasure
was hidden, how could she get it?
Immediately, she jumped out of bed and
ran swiftly to her cousin’s farm which was
next to theirs. All was silent as she ran
through the fields. The full moon lit her
way.
