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.
