A Ee stranger saw him. He liked the boy and thought, “This is the kind of boy I want. He is daring and bold.’ Going up to Aladdin, he said, “I am your uncle. Your dead father was my brother. Take me to your house. I am very keen to meet your mother.” When they reached the house, the stranger took out some wonderful gifts. He had brought fine clothes, fresh fruits and food. The poor woman was surprised. “Here are some gifts for you. I really want to look after my brother's family,” said the stranger. Aladdin liked his new clothes and his new uncle. In fact, the stranger was a magician. He was old and sly. He wanted to use Aladdin for his own gain. One evening, Aladdin's so-called uncle took him to a wonderful garden. There, he collected some dry leaves and wood. He lit a fire. The old man threw in some magic powder. At once, everything shook and the ground caved in. Aladdin could not believe daring and bold: full of cauege his eyes. sly: cunning “Go down the steps, Aladdin. At the end, you will so-called: here not . . . actualy real come to a temple in a garden.

I can take you wherever you want to go.” “Take me home,” said Aladdin, and to his surprise, he soon found himself with his mother. The two were very happy. They sold all the gems and lived happily. One day, Aladdin saw the old lamp which he had brought from the cave. It was lying in a corner of the house. ‘Let me clean it, he thought. The minute he rubbed it, a voice roared like thunder, “I am the Genie of the Lamp. I am your slave and you are my master. What do you wish for?” Aladdin was surprised. Soon, with the help of the magic lamp, he became the richest man in his city. He married a princess and lived in a palace. Every wish of his was fulfilled. The powerful magician had gone away for some time, but was soon back. This time he had another plan. He took e a basketful of lamps and went around calling out in the streets, “Change your old lamp for a new one!” One of Aladdin’ helpers heard his call. She told the princess, who gave away the old lamp and got a new one in exchange. She had no idea that the old lamp was in fact the magic lamp. When Aladdin came back, he realized that the magician had ticked him. However, it was too late. The old man had taken > away his palace and the s Princess too, to his owncity. Once again, Aladdin took the help of the magic oe ring. With the help of the Genie of the Ring, he ee found the princess. Aladdin bought a powder and asked the princess to mix it in the magician’s drink. As soon as the magician drank it, he fell unconscious. Aladdin found the magic lamp that the magician had stolen from him and rubbed it. The Genie appeared. He asked the Genie to bring the palace back to his city, which the Genie did at once.
