7. Ali’s Dream

Meanwhile, Ali had slept fitfully. He had been

having strange dreams. In his dreams, he heard

the door opening and closing, as if someone was

going out and coming in. He dreamt that the

hidden treasure had disappeared from beneath

the briars. He dreamt that he could hear noises

on the roof. He dreamt that he could hear hissing

sounds in the hearth.

So, unsurprisingly Ali was so tired that he could

barely rouse himself for his morning prayer. He

could hardly open his eyes. Sleepily, he unrolled

his mat next to the hearth and began his

morning prayers. Again he prayed for Allah to

deliver treasure to him on the hearth.

At the end of his prayers, Ali raised his eyes and

saw what was in the hearth. His mouth dropped

open in amazement.
