Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp

Aladdin lost his father when he was young, leaving him in the
sole care of his mother. Aladdin was about to fetch water
when a witch disguised as a magician approached him. The
magician offered Aladdin a large sum of money. He wanted
to escape poverty so he accepted it and accompanied the
magician, who asked him to get a lamp. Aladdin followed his
order. He went down through a narrow stair towards a dark
cave to look for the lamp. The magician gave him a ring.
Aladdin was able to get the lamp. He was about to hand in
the lamp to the magician when he felt something scary. He
suspected the magician would do something bad to him.
When Aladdin refused to hand the lamp, the magician
quickly closed the cave’s door.
Out of fear he accidentally rubbed the lamp. He
was shocked when a genie came out of the lamp.
“I am the genie of the lamp. Make a wish!” the
genie said. Aladdin said he wanted to go home.
With a blink of an eye he was already in front of
his mother. They wished for food, clothing and
furniture. The genie granted them all. They lived
with contentment and happiness since then.
One day, Aladdin met the king’s daughter. He fell
in love with her.
He told his mother that he wanted to marry the
princess. ”That’s impossible!” his mother blurted.
The King was impressed when Aladdin gifted him
with 40 jars filled with precious gems. He
consented with her daughter and Aladdin’s
marriage. The magician learned where Aladdin
was. He wanted to get back the lamp. The
princess was not aware that it was the magic
lamp, which she sold to the magician.
The magician ordered the genie to bring Aladdin’s wife
to his palace.
The princess suddenly disappeared. Aladdin did not
know what to do. Aladdin accidentally rubbed the ring.
The genie came out from the ring. The genie brought
him to the mansion of the magician. Aladdin saw the
princess by the window. He asked her to get the lamp.
The princess planned a way to get it back. The princess
gave the lamp to Aladdin. Aladdin asked the genie of the
lamp to bring them back to the palace. Aladdin realized
there was something more than the magic lamp. It was
his princess wife.
