A character named Tofu is being greedy and wants to take all the toffees, but is reminded of the story of Ali Baba and the 40 thieves. The story begins with two brothers, Kasim and Ali Baba, who live in Baghdad with their father. After their father's death, Kasim marries a rich woman and becomes greedy and dishonest, while Ali Baba marries a poor woman and becomes a woodcutter.
One day, Ali Baba discovers a cave where 40 thieves hide their loot. He uses the magic words "Open Sesame" to enter the cave and finds a treasure of gold coins and jewels. However, when his brother Kasim tries to follow him, he forgets the magic words and is trapped in the cave, where he is killed by the thieves.
Ali Baba and his slave girl Morgiana then work together to outsmart the thieves and ultimately kill them. Morgiana is rewarded by being set free from slavery and is allowed to take some of the treasure.
The story ends with Tofu learning a lesson about the dangers of greed and deciding to take only one toffee.
