   【美音】好莱坞明星爱丽森·布里讲故事：魔术师的帽子 | Magician's Hat

   Welcome to Storyline Online, brought to you by the SAG -AFTRA Foundation. I'm Alison Brie, and today I'm going to read The Magician's Hat, written by Malcolm Mitchell and illustrated by Joanne Louvretoff. Family fun day at the library was filled with exciting events. Book scavenger hunts, storytelling, reading rallies. Today, for the first time, a magician arrived with a bag of tricks and a big hat. Everyone gathered around to see the magician perform. He bent a spoon just by looking at it. He made playing cards float in front of his nose. The magician could even make a coin appear from a puppy's ear. When he waved his wand, a banana vanished. This was just the warm -up act. Now, the magician was ready to dazzle the crowd with his favorite trick of all. The magician's magic started with a story. When I was a kid, my mom and dad brought me to this library on family fun day. During the book scavenger hunt, I wandered into the reading room. There were hundreds of books. Books about dogs, books about planes, books about the sun, flowers, rain, cities, and circus dancers. Out of the hundreds of books, one special book jumped out at me. It was a book about magic. I read and read and read every single word on every single page. I discovered that book wasn't just about magic. I learned that books are magic. Even though I was still in the library, those pages and words took me places I had always dreamed of going. This is how I knew I wanted to become a magician when I grew up. Soon after that, I got my magician's hat. The family fun day crowd had grown. Kids from all over town were eager to see more of the magician's magic. He asked them, what do you want to be when you grow up? Amy shouted, I want to be a dentist. The magician invited Amy to reach inside his hat. Amy dug deep, then deeper, until she felt something. It's, it's a book, Amy shouted. The magician asked, what is your book about? Right away, like magic, Amy saw herself holding dental tools, a toothbrush, and a rinsing cup. But in the library where everyone could see, Amy was hugging her book and smiling. Matt had been watching closely. After seeing Amy's magic, he wondered, what else is in that hat? He called out, I want to be a famous football player. And so the magician offered Matt his hat. Let's see what magic you can find inside. Matt reached in, way down. There was something that couldn't fit into just one hand. Matt plunged both hands into the hat and pulled. It's a book about football. It even has my name on it. All at once, like magic, Matt was on the field, running. Tackling, catching, hunting, sometimes fumbling, sometimes falling, lots of times winning. Ryan called out from the back of the crowd, wait a second, this is not magic. Amy's and Matt's parents must have told the magician what they want to be when they grow up. The magician asked Ryan, what do you want to be when you grow up? This was Ryan's chance to prove that the magician was a fake. He snickered and said, a dog. The magician asked Ryan to reach into his magical hat. Ryan said, I can't feel anything. Sometimes, you must really reach and stretch for what you want to be. That's part of the magic. Ryan reached deeper and deeper until his fingers grabbed onto something. He clutched a beautiful book that had nothing to do with dogs. Its pages were filled with letters and paintings and photos and fold -outs. Stars, planets, rocket ships. Ryan had always dreamed of becoming an astronaut and exploring the wide open sky, hurdling into outer space and zooming to a far -off galaxy. Whoa! whispered Ryan. How did you do that? I'm not doing anything, the magician said. You are. I am? asked Ryan. But there's gotta be a secret trick in those books. The desires that are within you bring out the magic in these books. Follow your dreams and they will take you wherever you want to go. The magician turned his hat so everyone could see inside. What are your dreams? That question made all kinds of magic appear. Wow. I loved that. I loved that book. It's really a book about the magic of books and how when you read, books can take you anywhere in the world. They can take you anywhere that you can imagine. And you can really use books to learn more about the things that you're excited about. And by using your imagination, you really can go anywhere, dream up anything, explore anything you want to explore. And that is really cool. Thank you for watching Storyline Online.

   【英音】阿里巴巴和四十大盗 | Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves

   Full Transcript: Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves In a town in Persia there dwelled twobrothers, one named Cassim, the other Ali Baba. Cassim was married to a richwife and lived in plenty; while Ali Baba had to maintain his wife and childrenby cutting wood in a neighbouring forest and selling it in the town. One day,when Ali Baba was in the forest, he saw a troop of men on horseback, comingtoward him in a cloud of dust. He was afraid they were robbers, and climbedinto a tree for safety. When they came up to him and dismounted, he countedforty of them. They unbridled their horses and tied them to trees. The finestman among them, whom Ali Baba took to be their captain, went a little way amongsome bushes, and said: “Open Sesame!” so plainly that Ali Baba heard him. Adoor opened in the rocks, and having made the troop go in, he followed them,and the door shut again of itself. They stayed some time inside, and Ali Baba,fearing they might come out and catch him, was forced to sit patiently in thetree. At last the door opened again, and the forty thieves came out. As thecaptain went in last, he came out first, and made them all pass by him. He thenclosed the door, saying, “Shut Sesame!” Every man bridled his horse andmounted. The captain put himself at their head, and they returned as they came. Then Ali Baba climbed down and went to thedoor concealed among the bushes, and said: “Open Sesame!” It flew open. AliBaba, who expected a dull, dismal place, was greatly surprised to find it largeand well lighted, hollowed by the hand of man in the form of a vault, whichreceived the light from an opening in the ceiling. He saw rich bales ofmerchandise – silk brocades, all piled together, and gold and silver in heaps,and money in leather purses. He went in and the door shut behind him. He didnot look at the silver, but brought out as many bags of gold as he thought hisasses, which were browsing outside, could carry. He loaded them with the bags,and hid it all with fagots. Using the words: “Shut Sesame!” he closed the doorand went home. Then he drove his asses into the yard, shutthe gates, carried the money-bags to his wife, and emptied them out before her.He bade her to keep the secret, and he would go and bury the gold. “Let mefirst measure it,” said his wife. “I will go and borrow a measure off someone,while you dig the hole.” So she ran to the wife of Cassim and borrowed ameasure. Knowing Ali Baba’s poverty, the sister was curious to find out whatsort of grain his wife wished to measure, and artfully put some suet at thebottom of the measure. Ali Baba’s wife went home and set the measure on theheap of gold, and filled it and emptied it often, to her great content. Shethen carried it back to her sister, without noticing that a piece of gold wassticking to it, which Cassim’s wife perceived directly whilst her back wasturned. She grew very curious, and said to Cassim when he came home: “Cassim,your brother is richer than you. He does not count his money, he measures it.”He begged her to explain this riddle, which she did by showing him the piece ofmoney and telling him where she found it. Then Cassim grew so envious that hecould not sleep, and went to his brother in the morning before sunrise. “AliBaba,” he said, showing him the gold piece, “you pretend to be poor and yet youmeasure gold.” By this Ali Baba perceived that through his wife’s folly Cassimand his wife knew their secret, so he confessed all and offered Cassim a share.“That I expect,” said Cassim, “but I must know where to find the treasure,otherwise I will discover all, and you will lose all.” Ali Baba, more out ofkindness than fear, told him of the cave, and the very words to use. Cassimleft Ali Baba, meaning to be beforehand with him and get the treasure forhimself. He rose early next morning, and set out with ten mules loaded withgreat chests. He soon found the place, and the door in the rock. He said: “OpenSesame!” and the door opened and shut behind him. He could have feasted hiseyes all day on the treasures, but he now hastened to gather together as muchof it as possible; but when he was ready to go he could not remember what tosay for thinking of his great riches. Instead of “Sesame,” he said: “OpenBarley!” and the door remained fast. He named several different sorts of grain,all but the right one, and the door still stuck fast. He was so frightened atthe danger he was in that he had as much forgotten the word as if he had neverheard it. About noon the robbers returned to theircave, and saw Cassim’s mules roving about with great chests on their backs.This gave them the alarm; they drew their sabres, and went to the door, whichopened on their Captain’s saying: “Open Sesame!” Cassim, who had heard thetrampling of their horses’ feet, resolved to sell his life dearly, so when thedoor opened he leaped out and threw the Captain down. In vain, however, for therobbers with their sabres soon killed him. On entering the cave they saw all thebags laid ready, and could not imagine how anyone had got in without knowingtheir secret. They cut Cassim’s body into four quarters, and nailed them upinside the cave, in order to frighten anyone who should venture in, and wentaway in search of more treasure. As night drew on Cassim’s wife grew veryuneasy, and ran to her brother-in-law, and told him where her husband had gone.Ali Baba did his best to comfort her, and set out to the forest in search ofCassim. The first thing he saw on entering the cave was his dead brother. Fullof horror, he put the body on one of his asses, and bags of gold on the othertwo, and, covering all with some fagots, returned home. He drove the two assesladen with gold into his own yard, and led the other to Cassim’s house. The doorwas opened by the slave Morgiana, whom he knew to be both brave and cunning.Unloading the ass, he said to her: “This is the body of your master, who hasbeen murdered, but whom we must bury as though he had died in his bed. I willspeak with you again, but now tell your mistress I am come.” The wife ofCassim, on learning the fate of her husband, broke out into cries and tears,but Ali Baba offered to take her to live with him and his wife if she wouldpromise to keep his counsel and leave everything to Morgiana; whereupon sheagreed, and dried her eyes. Morgiana, meanwhile, sought an apothecaryand asked him for some lozenges. “My poor master,” she said, “can neither eatnor speak, and no one knows what his distemper is.” She carried home thelozenges and returned next day weeping, and asked for an essence only given tothose just about to die. Thus, in the evening, no one was surprised to hear thewretched shrieks and cries of Cassim’s wife and Morgiana, telling everyone thatCassim was dead. The day after, Morgiana went to an old cobbler near the gatesof the town who opened his stall early, put a piece of gold in his hand, andbade him to follow her with his needle and thread. Having bound his eyes with ahandkerchief, she took him to the room where the body lay, pulled off thebandage, and bade him to sew the quarters together, after which she covered hiseyes again and led him home. Then they buried Cassim, and Morgiana his slavefollowed him to the grave, weeping and tearing her hair, while Cassim’s wifestayed at home uttering lamentable cries. Next day she went to live with AliBaba, who gave Cassim’s shop to his eldest son. The Forty Thieves, on their return to thecave, were much astonished to find Cassim’s body gone and some of theirmoney-bags. “We are certainly discovered,” said the Captain, “and shall beundone if we cannot find out who it is that knows our secret. Two men must haveknown it; we have killed one, we must now find the other. To this end one ofyou who is bold and artful must go into the city dressed as a traveller, anddiscover whom we have killed, and whether men talk of the strange manner of hisdeath. If the messenger fails he must lose his life, lest we be betrayed.” Oneof the thieves started up and offered to do this, and after the rest had highlycommended him for his bravery he disguised himself, and happened to enter thetown at daybreak, just by Baba Mustapha’s stall. The thief bade him good-day,saying: “Honest man, how can you possibly see to stitch at your age?” “Old as Iam,” replied the cobbler, “I have very good eyes, and will you believe me whenI tell you that I sewed a dead body together in a place where I had less lightthan I have now.” The robber was overjoyed at his good fortune, and, giving hima piece of gold, desired to be shown the house where he stitched up the deadbody. At first Mustapha refused, saying that he had been blindfolded; but whenthe robber gave him another piece of gold he began to think he might rememberthe turnings if blindfolded as before. This means he succeeded; the robberpartly led him, and was partly guided by him, right in front of Cassim’s house,the door of which the robber marked with a piece of chalk. Then, well pleased,he bade farewell to Baba Mustapha and returned to the forest. By and byMorgiana, going out, saw the mark the robber had made, quickly guessed thatsome mischief was brewing, and fetching a piece of chalk marked two or threedoors on each side, without saying anything to her master or mistress. The thief, in the meantime, told hiscomrades of his discovery. The Captain thanked him, and bade him to show himthe house he had marked. But when they came to it they saw that five or six ofthe houses were chalked in the same manner. The guide was so confounded that heknew not what answer to make, and when they returned he was at once beheadedfor having failed. Another robber was dispatched, and, having won over BabaMustapha, marked the house in red chalk; but Morgiana being again too cleverfor them, the second messenger was put to death also. The Captain now resolvedto go himself, but, wiser than the others, he did not mark the house, butlooked at it so closely that he could not fail to remember it. He returned, andordered his men to go into the neighbouring villages and buy nineteen mules,and thirty-eight leather jars, all empty except one, which was full of oil. TheCaptain put one of his men, fully armed, into each, rubbing the outside of thejars with oil from the full vessel. Then the nineteen mules were loaded withthirty-seven robbers in jars, and the jar of oil, and reached the town by dusk.The Captain stopped his mules in front of Ali Baba’s house, and said to AliBaba, who was sitting outside for coolness: “I have brought some oil from adistance to sell at tomorrow’s market, but it is now so late that I know notwhere to pass the night, unless you will do me the favour to take me in.”Though Ali Baba had seen the Captain of the robbers in the forest, he did notrecognize him in the disguise of an oil merchant. He bade him welcome, openedhis gates for the mules to enter, and went to Morgiana to bid her to prepare abed and supper for his guest. He brought the stranger into his hall, and afterthey had supped went again to speak to Morgiana in the kitchen, while theCaptain went into the yard under pretence of seeing after his mules, but reallyto tell his men what to do. Beginning at the first jar and ending at the last,he said to each man: “As soon as I throw some stones from the window of thechamber where I lie, cut the jars open with your knives and come out, and Iwill be with you in a trice.” He returned to the house, and Morgiana led him tohis chamber. She then told Abdallah, her fellow-slave, to set on the pot tomake some broth for her master, who had gone to bed. Meanwhile her lamp wentout, and she had no more oil in the house. “Do not be uneasy,” said Abdallah:“go into the yard and take some out of one of those jars.” Morgiana thanked himfor his advice, took the oil pot, and went into the yard. When she came to thefirst jar the robber inside said softly: “Is it time?” Any other slave but Morgiana, on finding aman in the jar instead of the oil she wanted, would have screamed and made anoise; but she, knowing the danger her master was in, bethought herself of aplan, and answered quietly: “Not yet, but presently.” She went to all the jars,giving the same answer, till she came to the jar of oil. She now saw that hermaster, thinking to entertain an oil merchant, had let thirty-eight robbersinto his house. She filled her oil pot, went back to the kitchen, and, havinglit her lamp, went again to the oil jar and filled a large kettle full of oil.When it boiled she went and poured enough oil into every jar to stifle and killthe robber inside. When this brave deed was done she went back to the kitchen,put out the fire and the lamp, and waited to see what would happen. In a quarter of an hour the Captain of therobbers awoke, got up, and opened the window. As all seemed quiet, he threwdown some little pebbles which hit the jars. He listened, and as none of hismen seemed to stir he grew uneasy, and went down into the yard. On going to thefirst jar and saying: “Are you asleep?” he smelt the hot boiled oil, and knewat once that his plot to murder Ali Baba and his household had been discovered.He found all the gang was dead, and, missing the oil out of the last jar, becameaware of the manner of their death. He then forced the lock of a door leadinginto a garden, and climbing over several walls made his escape. Morgiana heardand saw all this, and, rejoicing at her success, went to bed and fell asleep. At daybreak Ali Baba arose, and, seeing theoil jars still there, asked why the merchant had not gone with his mules.Morgiana bade him look in the first jar and see if there was any oil. Seeing aman, he started back in terror. “Have no fear,” said Morgiana; “the man cannotharm you: he is dead.” Ali Baba, when he had recovered somewhat from hisastonishment, asked what had become of the merchant. “Merchant!” said she, “heis no more a merchant than I am!” and she told him the whole story, assuringhim that it was a plot of the robbers of the forest, of whom only three wereleft, and that the white and red chalk marks had something to do with it. AliBaba at once gave Morgiana her freedom, saying that he owed her his life. Theythen buried the bodies in Ali Baba’s garden, while the mules were sold in themarket by his slaves. The Captain returned to his lonely cave,which seemed frightful to him without his lost companions, and firmly resolvedto avenge them by killing Ali Baba. He dressed himself carefully, and went intothe town, where he took lodgings in an inn. In the course of a great manyjourneys to the forest he carried away many rich stuffs and much fine linen,and set up a shop opposite that of Ali Baba’s son. He called himself CogiaHassan, and as he was both civil and well dressed he soon made friends with AliBaba’s son, and through him with Ali Baba, whom he was continually asking tosup with him. Ali Baba, wishing to return his kindness, invited him into hishouse and received him smiling, thanking him for his kindness to his son. Whenthe merchant was about to take his leave, Ali Baba stopped him, saying: “Whereare you going, sir, in such haste? Will you not stay and sup with me?” Themerchant refused, saying that he had a reason; and on Ali Baba’s asking himwhat that was, he replied: “It is sir, that I can eat no victuals that have anysalt in them.” “If that is all,” said Ali Baba, “let me tell you that thereshall be no salt in either the meat or the bread that we eat tonight.” He wentto give this order to Morgiana, who was much surprised. “Who is this man?” shesaid, “who eats no salt with his meat?” “He is an honest man, Morgiana,”returned her master, “therefore do as I bid you.” But she could not withstand adesire to see this strange man, so she helped Abdallah to carry up the dishes,and saw in a moment that Cogia Hassan was the robber Captain, and carried adagger under his garment. “I am not surprised,” she said to herself, “that thiswicked man, who intends to kill my master, will eat no salt with him, but Iwill hinder his plans.” She sent up the supper by Abdallah, whileshe made ready for one of the boldest acts that could be thought on. When thedessert had been served, Cogia Hassan was left alone with Ali Baba and his son,whom he thought to make drunk and then to murder them. Morgiana, meanwhile, puton a head-dress like a dancing-girl’s, and clasped a girdle round her waist,from which hung a dagger with a silver hilt, and said to Abdallah: “Take yourtabor, and let us go and divert our master and his guest.” Abdallah took his taborand played before Morgiana until they came to the door, where Abdallah stoppedplaying and Morgiana made a low courtesy. “Come in, Morgiana,” said Ali Baba,“and let Cogia Hassan see what you can do,” and turning to Cogia Hassan,he said: “She’s my slave and my housekeeper.” Cogia Hassan was by no meanspleased, for he feared that his chance of killing Ali Baba was gone for thepresent, but he pretended great eagerness to see Morgiana, and Abdallah beganto play and Morgiana to dance. After she had performed several dances she drewher dagger and made passes with it, sometimes pointing it at her own breast,sometimes at her master’s, as if it were part of the dance. Suddenly, out ofbreath, she snatched the tabor from Abdallah with her left hand, and, holdingthe dagger in her right hand, held out the tabor to her master. Ali Baba andhis son put a piece of gold into it, and Cogia Hassan, seeing that she wascoming to him, pulled out his purse to make her a present, but while he wasputting his hand into it Morgiana plunged the dagger into his heart. “Unhappy girl!” cried Ali Baba and his son,“what have you done to ruin us?” “It was to preserve you, master, not toruin you,” answered Morgiana. “See here,” opening the false merchant’s garmentand showing the dagger. “See what an enemy you have entertained! Remember, hewould eat no salt with you, and what more would you have? Look at him! He isboth the false oil merchant and the Captain of the Forty Thieves.” Ali Baba was so grateful to Morgiana forthus saving his life that he offered her to his son in marriage, who readilyconsented, and a few days after, the wedding was celebrated with greatestsplendor. At the end of a year Ali Baba, hearingnothing of the two remaining robbers, judged they were dead, and set out to thecave. The door opened on his saying: “Open Sesame!” He went in, and saw thatnobody had been there since the Captain left it. He brought away as much goldas he could carry, and returned to town. He told his son the secret of thecave, which his son handed down in his turn, so the children and grandchildrenof Ali Baba were rich to the end of their lives.
