Aladdin

Final Part

Genie

For two days and nights Aladdin sat in the dark without food or drink. He felt cold and frightened.

‘I’m going to die!’ he cried, putting his face in hands. He felt something hard on his finger. It was the magician’s ring.

The ring made Aladdin angry. He tried to take it off. He pulled and pulled. It would not come off. As he pulled the ring he accidentally rubbed it.

Suddenly there was a puff of smoke. For a moment Aladdin closed his eyes. When he opened them again he had a big surprise.

A genie was standing in front of Aladdin. ‘I am the genie of the ring,’ said the genie. ‘What do you want from me?’

‘Take me out of this cave!’ cried Aladdin.

A moment later Aladdin was outside the cave. He looked around for the genie. ‘Genie, where are you?’ he cried. ‘How did you do that?’

But no one answered.

Please throw the lamp away.

Aladdin ran back to his mother’s house.

‘Where have you been?’ she cried. ‘And where is your uncle?’

‘He’s not my uncle,’ said Aladdin. ‘He only wanted this lamp.’

He showed the lamp to his mother. ‘It does not look very nice,’ she said. ‘But perhaps we can use the money to buy food.’

‘Why did the magician want it?’

Aladdin’s mother picked up the ladder. ‘I don’t know,’ she said. ‘But it’s very dirty. I’ll clean it.’

She began cleaning the lamp with a cloth. Suddenly there was a puff of smoke. They both closed their eyes. When they opened them again there was a genie standing in front of them.

‘I am the master of land, sea and air,’ cried the genie. ‘What do you want from me?’

Aladdin’s mother was too frightened to speak. ‘We are hungry,’ he said. ‘We want to eat.’

Puff of smoke

The genie disappeared in a puff of smoke. When Aladdin and his mother looked around they saw gold plates on the table. They were full of food.

Aladdin and his mother sat down to eat. ‘This is wonderful food,’ Aladdin’s mother said, ‘but I think this genie is a bad thing. Please throw the lamp away.’

‘I won’t throw the lamp away,’ said Aladdin. ‘But I won’t use it. I will hide it in a safe place.’
