    The best answer to the question: Which identifies a theme of "The Story of Baba Abdalla", would be: D: Happiness comes when you are content with what you have.

    Explanation:

    "The Story of Baba Abdalla is one of the fairytales that appears on the larger collection known as "A Thousand Nights". Essentially, the entire story is meant to warn people about the dangers of greed, and how this sin may turn happiness, light and joy, into misery, darkness and blindness. And this is what happens to the main character Baba Abdalla. Even though he was able to become rich in his own right with his camels, he became eaten by greed when the dervish told him about the riches that could be found in a hidden treasure. Everything goes well, and the two men are able to extract what they want from the treasure place, until the narrator of the story becomes further blinded by greed and he insists on having an ointment, that is supposed to allow you to find all the riches in the world if worn on the left eye. Disbelieving of the warnings of the wise man, the narrator insists on having it placed on his right, and then he loses his sight, and also his riches. In the end, when he is telling his story to the Caliph, he learns that essentially he should have been content from the very beginning with what he had, which was enough riches with his camels and his merchant life.
