Reading Diary B: Arabian Nights

Arabian Nights

Aladdin 1: A tailor had a young son named Aladdin. The boy was lazy and did nothing and the father died of grief. One day a magician came up to Aladdin and told him that he was his long lost uncle and to tell his mother that he would be coming soon. The magician tricked both Aladdin and his mother and pretended to give Aladdin a skill to use. He took Aladdin out into the mountains and did some of his magic and produced a cave. He gave Aladdin a ring for good luck and told Aladdin to go in and bring back a lamp. Aladdin recieved the lamp but refused to give the magician the lamp until he was out of the cave. The magician was furious and sealed the cave and left Persia forever. Aladdin was in the cave by himself for two days. While praying, he accidentally rubbed the ring and a genie came out. 

Aladdin 3: After finding out that the Sultan had forgotten his promise to Aladdin to have him marry the princess, Aladdin had the genie take the groom and the Princess away from the palace every night and returned early in the morning. After a few days, the groom had asked to be separated from the Princess and Aladdin was given another chance to marry the Princess. The Sultan had asked for a huge task in order to insure that Aladdin was worthy enough to marry his daughter. Aladdin went above and beyond to prove to the Sultan with the help of his genie. He had the genie construct two palaces before he would marry the Princess. The vizir was sure that it was the work of magic.

Aladdin 5: The magician had used his magic and found out that Aladdin had not died in the cave but had escaped and married a princess and was living a wealthy life. He carried out a plan where he would beg people to switch their old lamps for brand new ones. While Aladdin was out hunting, the magician came by the palace and the Princess unknowingly gave the magic lamp to the magician. The magician made a wish and had the genie take him, the princess, and the palace to Africa. The Sultan was furious when he went to look out the window and saw that the palace was gone. He threatened to execute Aladdin if he did not bring the princess back within forty days.
