Treasure of Ali Baba and the Sixty Eight Thieves

Chapter 1 : Story Book

Persia...

The famous city of Persia, still having the great treasure of Ali Baba and the sixty eight thieves hidden somewhere. The city is at the end of the desert where ocean touches the desert. Its a lively city carrying the history of Aladdin and Ali Baba.

Two friends, Ujaas and Rohan were sitting on the side of a street, a little far from the market and were playing a game. They were trying to throw stones directly into a pot made of copper.

"Its your last turn, Ujaas" Rohan said.

"All right," Ujaas said. He closed his eyes and threw the stone randomly in the air without aiming for the pot. The stone directly went into the pot. Both got surprised.

"Damn, again that luck of yours," Rohan said to Ujaas.

"Hahaha..," Ujaas laughed proudly. "Now its your last turn."

Rohan got ready to throw his stone in the pot.

"Now you will see, how it's done," Rohan said to Ujaas confidently. He turned around and threw his stone in the air, in the direction opposite to the pot.

"Ha..ha..ha.., the unpredictable," he said as they watched the stone coming down. The stone fell on the other side of the wall.

"Aaaaaahhhh..," someone shouted from the other side of the wall. "Who the fuck threw the stone on my fucking head?"

Ujaas and Rohan ran away with their lives towards the market.

The market was very lively. Traders and merchants were doing really good with their businesses and the market was full of people shopping from them. The two friends reached the market and started walking through it looking at the activities going on.

"Aaahh..., I am bored," Ujaas said to Rohan. "Its been so long since something interesting has happened."

"Yeah," Rohan replied. "Last time I had fun when people were chasing two naked guys running through streets who burned down a shop along with their own clothes."

"Hahaha.., you are right," Ujaas said. "I think we should do something interesting to have fun."

As they were walking through the market, they saw a guy selling story books.

"For the time being, lets read something," Rohan suggested. Ujaas agreed and they both went to the guy and bought a story book named 'Ali Baba and the Sixty Eight Thieves'.

The moment they read the title, they got unsatisfactory chills.

"What the hell is wrong with this title?" Ujaas asked.

"Yeah," Rohan agreed. "Something must be wrong in the number of thieves. I am not satisfied with the title at all. I hope the story is fine."

They both sat on the side of the street and read the whole story.

"Amazing," Ujaas said. "The story was so good. The hidden treasure the thieves had and Ali Baba, tried stealing that treasure but ended up getting almost caught by them was so interesting."

"But do you think the story is real along with the treasure which is still out there somewhere, according to the book?" Rohan asked.

"Lets ask the guy we bought book from," Ujaas said.

They both went to that guy and asked about the story.

"According to what I had heard, the story is half true," the guy said.

"How?" Rohan asked.

"According to the story, Ali Baba's maid killed the thieves who came to kill him," the guy said. "But some people say it's not true. The truth is the thieves ran away with the money Ali Baba stole from them and hid it somewhere no one could ever find. And after that, no one was able to find it."

"Awesome," Ujaas said excitedly. "What do you say buddy? We should go and find that treasure."

"Alright, sounds fun," Rohan replied.

"Hahaha..," the guy laughed. "Its impossible for someone like you to find the treasure hidden from everyone in Persia. No one knows where it is and how to get there."

They both left the guy and started walking.

"Huh, that guy," Ujaas said. "He don't know who we are. We can find that treasure, right?"

"I think its not gonna be easy to find such a treasure," Rohan replied.

"Oh come on," Ujaas said. "Its possible. Even Aladdin got a princess like Jasmine."

"I guess the last time I remember was when you went to ask out a girl, got nervous and asked her out to be your sister," Rohan said.

"Yeah yeah," Ujaas said. "It wasn't that bad, alright?"

"Are you sure?" Rohan asked.

"You still got rejected with a slap," Rohan laughed.

"That situation was under my control," Ujaas explained proudly. "I asked her to be my sister so I could make her say 'Onii-chan'."

"You know, the only fantasy I have," Ujaas said with sparkling eyes. "But I guess she saw through me. Anyway, don't worry, we will find the treasure no matter what."

"I guess I have to do something unexpected," Rohan said. "I am in."

The two friends made up their mind to find the hidden treasure of Ali Baba.
