Chapter 3 Aladdin and the Magic Lamp (1)
Long long ago there was a poor tailor who had a son named Aladdin.He is a carefree young man who spends his days chasing balls in the street with those lazy young people.Although my father's death was a sad event, and my mother cried and prayed all day, he showed no signs of recovery.One day, while he was playing with a ball in the street as usual, a stranger asked him how old he was, and whether he was the son of Mustanfa the tailor. "Oh, yes, sir," replied Aladdin, "but he was long dead."

The stranger, who was a very famous African magician, immediately put his arms around his neck and kissed him and said, "I am your uncle, and I can see how much you are like my brother. Come to your mother." Tell her I'm coming." Aladdin immediately ran home and told his mother that he had just found a new uncle. "Yes, child."

She said, "Your father did have a brother, but I always thought he was dead." Still, she prepared dinner and sent Aladdin to his uncle.He brought wine and fruit.Knowing where Mustanfa had sat before, he immediately got down on his stomach and kissed and kissed.He advised his sister-in-law not to be too surprised that she had never met, because it had been 40 years since he left the motherland.Then he turned to Aladdin and asked how he was a tailor.

Upon hearing this, the young man shook his head, and the mother burst into tears again.When he learned that Aladdin was idle and never wanted to learn a craft, he offered to open a business shop for Aladdin.The next day, he bought another set of gorgeous clothes for Aladdin, took him around the city to see all the sights, and sent him back to his mother when night fell.She was overjoyed to see her son so well dressed.

On the third day, the magician took Aladdin to some beautiful gardens far away from the city gate.They sat down by a fountain, and the magician took a piece of cake from his belt, and they ate it between them.Then they traveled on and on, almost reaching the foot of the high mountain.Aladdin was really tired and asked to go back.The magician tricked him with interesting stories, which made Aladdin so fascinated that he couldn't think of leaving.At last they came to two high mountains separated by a narrow valley. "We don't have to go anymore," said the not real uncle, "I want to show you something wonderful. But first you need to find some firewood, and I'll start a fire." After the fire was lit, the magic The master sprinkled some powder that he had with him on it, and at the same time he recited a few mantras.At this time, the earth trembled slightly, and it split open in front of them.Then an ashlar with a copper handle appeared.Aladdin tried to run away in fear, but the magician caught him back and pushed him down. "Uncle, what do you want me to do?"

he asked pitifully.The magician pretended to be kind and said: "Listen to me, don't be afraid. Under that square stone lies a treasure that belongs only to you. No one can touch it, so you must do as I tell you." Seeing the baby, Aladdin immediately forgot his fear, grasped the copper ring tightly as instructed, and called his father and grandfather's name.The stone was lifted up easily, and a step appeared below. "Go down," said the magician, "at the end of the steps you will find a door leading to three halls. Roll up your clothes and walk through the halls carefully, making sure not to touch anything, or you will Immediately die. These halls lead to a garden with fine fruit trees. Go on until you reach a lighted oil lamp, pour out the oil in it, and bring it to me." After speaking the magic The master took a ring from his finger and gave it to Aladdin, wishing him good luck.

Aladdin really found out what the magician said, and after getting the oil lamp, he picked some fruit from the fruit tree, and then he came to the entrance of the cave.Immediately the magician shouted: "Quick! Give me the lamp!" Aladdin had to pull himself out of the cave to give him the lamp.The magician was furious when he heard this, and sprinkled some powder on the fire, chanting words, and the stone returned to its original place.

The fact that the magician wanted to lock Aladdin in the cave forever meant that he wasn't Aladdin's uncle at all, but just a cunning magician.He read about this magical oil lamp from the magic book, which can make him the most powerful man in the world.But while he was able to find out where it was, he had to get another person to get it out for him.So the magician chose the stupid Aladdin and killed him after he wanted to get the magic lamp.

Aladdin had been in the dark for two full days, crying and weeping.At last Aladdin folded his hands and prayed in his heart. At this time, he rubbed against the ring that the magician forgot to take away. Immediately, a huge and terrifying giant appeared from the ground and said, "What do you want me to do? I am the owner of the ring." Faithful servant. I will obey all your orders." "Take me out of this ghost place." As soon as he finished speaking, the ground split open again, and then Aladdin found that he was already outside the cave.Because he couldn't adapt to the strong light, he passed out as soon as he arrived at the door.When he regained consciousness, he told his mother what had happened, and showed her the oil lamp and the fruits he had gathered in the garden, which turned out to be precious stones.He was very hungry and wanted to eat something. "Ugh!

child! "The mother said, "There is nothing to eat at home.But I've just spun some cotton, and now I'm going to sell it. "Aladdin asked his mother to keep the cotton thread, because he could sell the oil lamp first. As the oil lamp looked dirty, she wanted to wipe it clean and sell it for a good price. Suddenly a terrible giant appeared and asked her what she wanted. What. Mother fainted on the spot, and Aladdin snatched the magic lamp and said boldly: "Bring me something to eat! Immediately the giant brought a golden bowl, twelve silver plates full of meat, two silver cups, and two bottles of fine wine. When Aladdin's mother woke up, she asked, "Where did you get such a rich meal?" ? "Don't worry about it, just eat." Aladdin said. So they ate from breakfast to dinner, and Aladdin mentioned the magic lamp to his mother. She quickly advised Aladdin to sell the lamp and not to have anything to do with the devil. "No," said Aladdin Ting said, "Since luck has allowed us to see its magic, we should use it well.And of course this ring on my finger. "They ate all the food that the giant brought, and then Aladdin sold one of the silver dishes, and soon all the silver dishes, golden bowls, and golden cups were sold. So he called the giant to help. The giant brought A set full of good food and wine so they can last a long time longer.

One day Aladdin learned of an order from the king: Everyone must stay at home and close the windows, because the princess is going to the bathroom to take a bath.Aladdin especially wanted to see the face of the princess, but it was hard to get a chance because she always went out wearing a veil.He hid behind the bathroom door and peeped through a crack in the door.The princess took off her veil when she entered the bathroom, and she looked so beautiful that Aladdin fell in love with her at first sight.When he got home, he became abnormal, which surprised his mother.He even told his mother that he was deeply in love with the princess and that he could not live without her.The mother couldn't help laughing, but Aladdin persuaded her to propose marriage to the king.She had to fetch a handkerchief, and put in it those wonderful fruits from the enchanted garden, which shone like the most beautiful jewels.She brought things to please the king, and when she entered the hall, the dignitaries and dignitaries walked in, so she came before the king, but the king didn't pay attention to her at all.She went on like this for a whole week.When the sixth day was over, the king said to his ministers: "I see a woman appearing in the hall every day with something wrapped in her handkerchief.

The next time I call her up, I'll ask her what she wants to do. On the next day, at the sign of the minister, she came before the king, and knelt still, until the king said to her, "Arise, good woman."tell me what do you want to do She hesitated for a while, so the king called away all the nobles in the palace, leaving only the ministers, and ordered her to explain her intentions frankly, and said in advance that she would forgive everything she said. She had no choice but to love her son deeply. The king was told about the princess. "I begged him to forget the princess, but it was no use. She said, "He even threatened to commit suicide, insisting that I come to propose marriage to His Majesty's princess."I ask you to forgive not only me, but also my son. The king kindly asked her what was in the handkerchief, so she opened it and showed the jewels to the king. He was astonished, and turned to the minister and asked, "What do you think?"Should I entrust the princess to such a man who takes her fancy? "The minister hoped that the princess would marry his son, and suggested that the king wait for another three months, hoping that his son could find a more valuable gift. So the king of Guoselan adopted the minister's suggestion. He told Ala Ting's mother said that although he agreed to the marriage, it would take three months for them to meet.

Aladdin waited patiently for nearly three months.But just two days before the due date, my mother went to the city to get oil and found that everyone was in high spirits, so she asked what was happening. "Don't you know that the minister's son is going to marry the princess tonight?" the man replied.After hearing this, she hurried home and told Aladdin about it.At first he was very sad, but he immediately took out the magic lamp.He rubbed the magic lamp, and the giant appeared and said: "I will obey your orders." Aladdin said: "You know, the king has not fulfilled his promise to me, and now the son of the minister is going to marry the princess." .I order you to bring the bride and groom here tonight."

"Yes, master," said the giant.Then Aladdin went back to his room.At midnight, the giant really moved the bed where the minister's son and the princess were sleeping. "Take that groom out, put it in a cold place, and bring him back when the sun rises." Aladdin ordered.So the giant took the vizier's son from the bed, leaving only Aladdin and the princess. "Don't be afraid, my princess," Aladdin said to her. "You are my wife, as your partial father has promised me. I will not hurt you." The princess was too frightened to say a word. , spent the most painful night with Aladdin who was snoring loudly beside him.At the appointed time the giant brought back the shivering bridegroom, put him on the bed again, and sent the bed back to the palace.

In the morning when the king came to greet his daughter, the unfortunate son of the minister was so frightened that he jumped out of bed and hid himself.But the princess didn't say a word, she was very sad.The king asked the queen to talk to his daughter, and the queen said: "What's the matter, my child? Why don't you talk to the king? What happened?" The princess sighed heavily, and finally told the queen what happened in bed at night. How to be moved into a strange house and what happened afterwards.The queen could not believe what she said, and had to make her get up, saying it was only a dull dream.

The same thing happened again the next night.On the third morning, the princess was silent again.So the king threatened her to cut off her head if she didn't tell the reason.She had no choice but to tell everything, and asked her father to ask the minister's son if it was true.The king asked the minister to ask his son.The fact was just as the princess said, and the minister's son also said that although he loved the princess deeply, he could not go through such a horrible night again, and asked to be separated from the princess.His request was granted, and the grand feasts and celebrations were cancelled.

When the three months were up, Aladdin sent his mother to remind the king of his promise.When she came before the king again, the king remembered Aladdin who had long forgotten.Seeing that his mother was so poor, the king didn't want to keep his promise at all, so he asked his ministers for advice.The minister proposed to set an expensive bride price for the princess that no one in the world could afford.So the king said to Aladdin's mother: "Good woman, as a king, of course I will keep my promise, and I will remember it. But your son must first send 40 pots full of jewels, and you must let 40 pots full of jewels. A well-dressed white slave brought forty black slaves. Tell him I'm waiting for his answer." Aladdin's mother saluted and hurried home, thinking it was all over.She conveyed the king's message and said, "He will wait until your answer!" "Mother, I will not take as long as you think." Her son replied, "I will prepare for the princess." More presents." He summoned the giant, and in a blink of an eye eighty servants filled the room and courtyard.Aladdin ordered the two of them to line up and follow their mother to the palace.

They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, their belts were inlaid with bright jewels, and the treasure basins on their heads were filled with gold, which attracted passers-by to stop and watch.They entered the palace, knelt to greet the king, and then stood in a semicircle around the throne, and Aladdin's mother presented gold, silver and jewels to the king one by one.When the king saw it, he stopped hesitating and said, "My dear lady, go back and tell your son that I welcome him with open arms!" So she hurried home and told Aladdin, telling him to make preparations.But Aladdin summoned the giant first and said: "I want a perfume bath, a gold cloth, and a horse that surpasses the king's mount. I will also have 20 servants to serve me. And six more maids to serve me." Mother. There are [-] bags of gold, silver and jewels at the end." Soon everything came true.Aladdin rode on his steed and crossed the street, followed by servants carrying gold and silver jewels.Those friends who played with him when he was a child never imagined that he would become so handsome.When the king saw him, he came down from his throne, embraced him, and led him into the hall where the feast was being prepared, intending to marry him that very day.But Aladdin refused, saying:
"I must first build a palace for her." Then he left.When he got home, he said to the giant, "Build me the most splendid marble palace inlaid with all kinds of onyx gems. And in the middle of the palace is a hall with a cupola. The hall will be covered with gold and silver on all sides. , six windows on each side, and only one window pane is allowed to be empty, and the rest are to be inlaid with diamonds and rubies. There must also be stables and horses in the palace, as well as grooms and servants. Well, go now Bar!"
