Once upon a time, there lived a widow who had an
only son whose name was Aladdin in Baghdad. One day Aladdin’s mother sent him
to the market place to look for a job. In the market he met a magician. The
magician asked him to work together with him. If Aladdin could do, he would get
a lot of gold coins and jewellery. The magician asked Aladdin to go inside the
cave and find a magical lamp there. He also gave a ring and if Aladdin was in
any trouble, directly he could rub the ring and a genie will come to rescue
Aladdin.
The Orientation
Aladdin went into the cave. Inside the cave, Aladdin was surprised by what
he saw. Every corner was full of gold and treasures. A few minutes later, he
found the lamp and quickly returned to the entrance of the cave. Aladdin found
the lamp and the magician asked to Aladdin to give it to him.
Aladdin did not trust the magician so he said, “Not so fast Magician. You
must help me out of this cave first.”
The magician became very angry. When Aladdin was walking to the entrance,
the magician pushed a huge rock over the entrance of the cave and left Aladdin
and the lamp behind. Aladdin tried to move the rock all by himself, but it was
too big and heavy, “Oh no! I am trapped in the cave!” he cried.
Suddenly, he remembered the magic ring. He rubbed it with the palm of his
hand. To his surprise, a genie appeared before him and in a powerful voice
said, “Master, I am the Genie of the ring. How can I help you?”
Aladdin was frightened, but he soon found the courage to ask, “Could you
please send me back to my house?” In no time at all Aladdin was back home. Then
he told to his mother about it.
Aladdin took out the lamp. He wondered what would happen if he rubbed it. As
Aladdin was rubbing it, all of a sudden another enormous genie stood before
him. The genie of the lamp said, “Master, your wish is my command.” Aladdin was
very excited and wished for an enormous palace and bags full of gold.

daughter of a Sultan, and Aladdin planned to marry her. But there were some
