Aladin asked his mother to sell the lamp. The lamp was
dusty. So she began to rub it. At once another big genie was
there. It said, ‘I am the genie of the lamp. I obey him who holds
it. What do you want?" Aladin said, ‘Bring us some food!’
The big genie vanished. After some time it came back with a
silver tray on his head. There were two silver plates, two silver
cups, twelve silver dishes full of nice food. After this whenever
