Gharibah, a daughter of an old man and a sister of five children, who is the eldest. She used to go to the forest every day to bring firewood and food for her younger sisters and her old father, and in this forest lived a fierce, cunning monster who went to the village at night to kidnap the children and devour them. The old father and his daughter, Gharibah, agreed on She returns every day before sunset, and when she reaches the door of her house, she must knock three roads and then scratch her bracelets, so that her father knows that the one at the door is his “Gharibah.” She goes out every day and returns to her home and does what she agreed upon with her father. To the door, he touched three roads, and her father approached the door, scratching her bracelets, and the old woman knew that she was his daughter, opened the door for her, and her younger brothers ran to embrace her, rejoicing at the return of their older sister and what she brought for them from what she found in the forest. One day she went out to the forest, as usual, she spent her day gathering food and firewood And before sunset, a stranger wandered back and noticed that she had lost her bracelets while searching for the needs of the house, she searched for her bracelets throughout the forest, so it took her time, and she did not realize that the darkness had come, and when she realized that she ran to the house crying, afraid of the atmosphere of the forest during the night A stranger arrived at the door of her house, knocked on the three agreed-upon roads, and the old father approached the door, she became a stranger to talk to him and tell him what had happened, and she told him after that, Dad, that I cannot clink with my arms to know that I am a stranger, but here is my voice talking to you, so please open the door. Before the forest monster came to me, the father refused and he cried and said to her, “Forgive me, because I cannot open you. Maybe the monster imitates your voice. Your little brothers here will eat them if you open the door. A stranger cried and begged and the father cried and refused to open her. He will not sacrifice her five brothers to be eaten by the monster all of them.” Because she did not abide by what they had agreed upon and did not return before sunset, she remained a stranger outside frightened and sad, until the forest monster came and ate it
