When this guy is out cutting wood, he sees a bunch of criminal types and hides behind a tree. They open a magical cave with the words "Open Sesame." When they've gone, he checks it out and finds a bunch of treasure in there. He takes a little, closes the cave back, and has a good laugh. This would have been a fine place to end the story, but the guy's brother finds out and wants some treasure for himself. He gets caught, and the rest of the story is a bloodbath. I mean for real, don't read this to your kids.
