The document compares and contrasts the stories of Ali Baba and Aladdin. It notes that in both stories, the main characters start out poor and end up rich. There is magic in both stories - a genie lamp and flying carpet in Aladdin, and magic words to open a cave in Ali Baba. Both stories also involve people trying to kill the main characters. However, there are some differences - Aladdin involves royalty and palaces while Ali Baba does not, and there are more evil characters in Ali Baba than in Aladdin. Overall the document enjoyed comparing the similarities and differences between the two stories.
