She then told Abdallah , her fellow-slave , to set on the pot to make some broth for her master , who had gone to bed . Meanwhile her lamp went out , 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 him for his advice , took the oil pot , and went into the yard . When she came to the first jar the robber inside said softly : `` Is it time ? '' Any other slave but Morgiana , on finding a man in the jar instead of the oil she wanted , would have screamed and made a noise ; but she , knowing the danger her master was in , bethought herself of a plan , 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 her master , thinking to entertain an oil merchant , had let thirty-eight robbers into his house . She filled her oil pot , went back to the kitchen , and , having lit 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 kill the 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 the robbers awoke , got up , and opened the window . As all seemed quiet , he threw down some little pebbles which hit the jars . He listened , and as none of his men seemed to stir he grew uneasy , and went down into the yard . On going to the first jar and saying , `` Are you asleep ? '' he smelt the hot boiled oil , and knew at 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 , became aware of the manner of their death . He then forced the lock of a door leading into a garden , and climbing over several walls made his escape . Morgiana heard and saw all this , and , rejoicing at her success , went to bed and fell asleep . At daybreak Ali Baba arose , and , seeing the oil jars still there , asked why the merchant had not gone with his mules .
Morgiana bade him look XXXXX the first jar and see if there was any oil .
