  1. (continued from previous page)
    say and the entrance of the cave. The brother travelled along and when he came to the cave he said open "Siseam". The cave opened and he went it. He was overjoyed with all the gold. He loaded his asses and when he was about to go home he could not remember the word to open the cave. He said open oats and open barley and he said every thing he could think of. But all was in vain the cave did not open and he had to remain there until the robers found him and slew the man.
