ALLADIN

The son of a deceased Chinese tailor and his poor widow, Aladdin
is a lazy, careless boy who meets an African magician claiming to be his
uncle. The magician brings Aladdin to the mouth of a cave and bids him
enter and bring out a wonderful lamp that is inside, giving him a magic
ring for his safety in the meantime. Aladdin goes in and returns with the
lamp but refuses to hand it over to the magician until he is safely out of
the cave. The magician thereupon shuts him inside the cave with the
lamp and departs. Wringing his hands in dismay in the dark, Aladdin
finds that he can summon up powerful jinn, or genies, by rubbing the
ring. He returns home and soon finds that rubbing the lamp also
produces genies. These supernatural spirits grant him his every wish,
and Aladdin eventually becomes immensely wealthy, builds a
wonderful jeweled palace, and marries the beautiful daughter of the
sultan. After defeating the attempts of the frustrated African magician
and his even more wicked younger brother to recover the lamp,
Aladdin lives in longtime marital happiness, succeeds the sultan, and
reigns for many years, “leaving behind him a long line of kings.”
The story of Aladdin—like several other popular stories in The Thousand
and One Nights, such as the adventures of Sindbad the Sailor—was not part
of the original story collection.
 The Careless Clown

The World’s Rarest Creature

Charlie and the Horse
My Daddy’s Very Busy
There was once a clown named Lemon. He was a lot of fun, but also very careless.
Whenever he did anything, he almost always ended up tearing his jacket, getting
a hole in his sock, or ripping the knee of his trousers. Everyone said he should take
more care, but Lemon found that really boring. So, one day, he had the happy
idea of buying himself a sewing machine. This machine was so fantastic that it
sewed everything up within a moment. It seemed like Lemon wouldn't have to
worry about his things anymore.
Soon, the most important day in Lemon's life arrived. It was the day when
everyone in town prepared a party for him, in celebration of Lemon's many years
of service in making the citizens chuckle. On that day he wouldn't have to wear
his colourful clown suit. That day he would be dressed like anyone else; very
elegantly in his suit, and everyone commenting on his smart appearance.
However, the night before, he had a look in his closet, and there wasn't a single
suit in good condition. They were all ripped and torn, with dozens of stitching
marks. Lemon couldn't possibly go to the party dressed in those. Well, Lemon was
sharp and quick-witted, and he solved this problem by attending the gala
celebration in his usual clown suit. That definitely amused the audience, but
Lemon wasn't as keen on it. He had dreamed of being, just for one day in the
year, the hero of the show, and not just the clown.
Very early the next day, Lemon replaced all those damaged old suits, and since
then, he has looked after his clothes with great care. He realised that using short-
term remedies ends up being no remedy at all.

colours. They enjoyed and were happy to see the new look of the

poor little girl was nervous but they weren't only judges they were
killers. They wanted to repaint the kingdom to grey. But this time
when they tried to repaint it, the girl fought with bravery and
strength to stop them.
Finally they enemy surrendered and gave up. The little was happy
and proud of herself and her new friends in the kingdom. They
finally won the competition. Everyone cheered for the little girl
who saved and brightened the Kingdom, it wasn't only hers but
their Kingdom
 The Grasshopper and the Ants

In a field one summer's day a grasshopper was hopping about,

chirping and singing to its heart's content. A group of ants walked by,
grunting as they struggled to carry plump kernels of corn.

"Where are you going with those heavy things?" asked the
grasshopper.

Without stopping, the first ant replied, "To our ant hill. This is the third
kernel I've delivered today."

"Why not come and sing with me," teased the grasshopper, "instead of
working so hard?"

"We are helping to store food for the winter," said the ant, "and think
you should do the same."

"Winter is far away and it is a glorious day to play," sang the

grasshopper.

But the ants went on their way and continued their hard work.

The weather soon turned cold. All the food lying in the field was
covered with a thick white blanket of snow that even the grasshopper
could not dig through. Soon the grasshopper found itself dying of
hunger.
He staggered to the ants' hill and saw them handing out corn from the
stores they had collected in the summer. He begged them for
something to eat.

"What!" cried the ants in surprise, "haven't you stored anything away
for the winter? What in the world were you doing all last summer?"

"I didn't have time to store any food," complained the grasshopper; "I
was so busy playing music that before I knew it the summer was
gone."

The ants shook their heads in disgust, turned their backs on the
grasshopper and went on with their work.
