BR 2-07: Aladdin & His Magical Lamp

I read Aaddin & His Magical Lamp, because I am interested in this story and I don't know this story clearly. It comes from a collection of Arabian stories known as The Thousand and One Nights. In early telling of the story, the wicked magician isn't named. But in the first Aladdin pantomime he's called Abanazar, so that's the name we've used here. The main character is Aladdin.

There was once a lazy boy named Aladdin. One day, Aladdin was messing around as usual when a man came up to him. Aladdin met his uncle named Abanazar. That evening, Aladdin's new uncle invited himself to supper. When his uncle heard that Aladdin didn't have a job, he bought him a fancy store to run. Aladdin and his mother were very happy! But Abanazar was really a wicked magician. The next day, Aladdin got a lamp by a trap. Suddenly, a huge man rose up in front of him. It is genie of lamp. He told his mother what had happened. She started to polish the lamp and jumped back in fright as a giant man floated out. It is also genie!

Aladdin wanted to get marry with princess Badr-al Budur. She is very beautiful! Once, he failed marry with her, but he really wanted to marry with her, so he used genie of lamp. At last, he succeeded to marry with her!

But Abanazar tried to prevent his life of marriage. He went to Aladdin's city. He robbed the lamp and used it. He told his wish to genie of lamp. Then, later that morning, Sultan looked from his window and nearly fainted. Aladdin and Princess' palace has gone! And Aladdin thought the accident was occurred by Abanazar. So Aladdin make Abanazar drunk poison. Abanazar died.

But they still weren't safe. Abanazar had an evil brother and he wanted revenge. The brother dressed up as Fatima, a holy woman. He stood out side Aladdin's palace pretending to heal people. Badr was very excited to see Fatima and invited her inside. He is dangerous Aladdin thought. So he helped her and beat the brother with genie of lamp. With no more evil men to brother them, Aladdin and Badr were safe. In time, Aladdin became Sultan and his mother became a grandmother. They had all they could wish for, so the lamp and ring were left in a drawer. Who knows... the genies may still be there today.

I think it is very interesting! I can know about it more. I want genies of lamp because I have a lot of wishes now. ha ha I recommend you it ;)
