In "The Forty Thieves," Ali Baba's wife borrows a measure so she can measure the gold. Which event does this borrowing directly cause?

Order these events: (1) Cassim is killed in the cave. (2) Ali Baba says "Open, Sesame!" for the first time. (3) Cassim's wife shows Cassim the gold piece. Which order is correct?

Cassim reaches the cave with ten mules and great chests. What causes him to be trapped inside?

About noon the robbers come back to their cave. Which detail first warns them that someone else has been there?

After Cassim's death the tale develops two lines of action at once. Which pair are they?

Morgiana's cover-up and the robbers' search run beside each other. At which point do the two lines first touch?

The thief chalks Cassim's door, and Morgiana then chalks two or three doors on each side of it. How do the two plot lines relate here?

After the night of the jars, why does Ali Baba give Morgiana her freedom?

The Captain later goes into the town himself and marks no door at all. Which earlier events cause him to change his method?

Morgiana's lamp goes out, and Abdallah tells her to take oil from one of the jars in the yard. What does this small event cause?

When Morgiana came to the first jar the robber inside said softly: "Is it time?" She answered quietly: "Not yet, but presently." What does her answer let her do next?

The Captain gives his men their orders in the yard while Ali Baba speaks with Morgiana indoors. Which pair of events also runs at the same time in the same house?

At the supper the guest says he can eat no victuals that have any salt in them. What does this refusal cause?

Which event comes before Cassim's death but does not cause it?

Through most of the tale, how does Morgiana's line of action contrast with Ali Baba's?

"Old as I am," replied the cobbler, "I have very good eyes, and will you believe me when I tell you that I sewed a dead body together in a place where I had less light than I have now." Which structure does this line show?

Which of these things that Morgiana does happens last in the tale?

The tale often leaves Ali Baba's house and follows the robbers in their cave. What does that second line give the reader?

The Captain smells the hot boiled oil, finds his gang dead, and escapes over the garden walls. Which line of action does this failure send him back to?

In "The Forty Thieves," Morgiana's line of action and the Captain's line meet when she carries the dishes up to his supper.
