The story of "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" is a well-known Middle Eastern folk tale, but have you ever heard of "Ali Baba's Christmas Carol"? This twist on the classic tale brings the beloved character into the holiday season, as he is visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future.
As the story goes, Ali Baba is a poor, honest woodcutter who lives in a small village. One day, while out in the forest, he discovers the secret entrance to a thieves' den, hidden behind the phrase "Open Sesame." Ali Baba takes advantage of this opportunity and becomes wealthy by stealing from the thieves, much like how Ebenezer Scrooge becomes wealthy in "A Christmas Carol."
However, unlike Scrooge, Ali Baba's wealth does not bring him happiness. He becomes greedy and selfish, hoarding his wealth and ignoring the needs of those around him. On Christmas Eve, Ali Baba is visited by the ghost of Christmas past, who shows him how his actions have affected his community. The ghost then takes him to see the ghost of Christmas present, who shows him the poverty and suffering of those around him. Finally, the ghost of Christmas future shows him the consequences of his actions and how he will be remembered by future generations.
Through these visits, Ali Baba is able to see the error of his ways and decides to use his wealth to help those in need. He becomes a generous and kind-hearted man, spreading joy and cheer to all those around him.
In the end, "Ali Baba's Christmas Carol" teaches us the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of giving, helping others, and being kind to those around us. It is a heartwarming reminder that it is never too late to change our ways and make the world a better place.

We do it by how we treat others or how we treat ourselves. But if you were free to-day, to-morrow, yesterday, can even I believe that you would choose a dowerless girl — you who, in your very confidence with her, weigh everything by Gain: or, choosing her, if for a moment you were false enough to your one guiding principle to do so, do I not know that your repentance and regret would surely follow? What was merry Christmas to Scrooge? It was past two when he went to bed. He thanks her for summoning the "mirror" and, as he walks home, scatters a bag full of gravel on the pond so no one will be able to skate there.
