What must be done... It wasn't something new to Ali Baba. He had lived on that belief in the streets as well, justifying everything he did... It was what must be done for him and his mother to survive with no name or a tribe to claim them...
However...
It didn't feel right...
Ali Baba looked down, his thoughts racing, before an idea occurred to him. One so simple, yet he didn't know if it was viable. " Why don't you come with us?"
That seemed to take Tarek by surprise.
" I mean, I don't know what the treasure is, not sure if it's something that would help you. But… it could."
Tarek looked at the boy's sincere eyes, then laughed while slapping his knee. " And you say not to trust others…" he chuckled out loud.
" What are you laughing about? I'm serious!" The boy argued, and Tarek wiped away his tears.
