“Was that your first wish - to get out of this cave? Three wishes are yours to command.”Īladdin’s mouth fell open, amazed. Rubbing the lamp, he moaned, “Oh, how I wish I could get out of here!”Īt once, a huge Genie rose up into the air. “Why didn’t I just hand over this old lamp? Who cares about it, anyway? Whatever might have come of it, it couldn’t have been worse than this! What was I thinking?” He poured out the oil and took it back to the opening of the cave.įor two days, Aladdin despaired. Then he plucked another and another jewel-fruit, till all his pockets were filled.Īladdin came to the large flat stone, and on it was a lighted lamp, just as his uncle had said. So he figured he might as well put the fine jewel-fruit in his vest pocket. Then – too late – he remembered what his uncle had said. He could not help but reach out and touch one. Through the garden of fruit trees and marvelous to behold, the trees held fruits that sparkled and shone. Now go!”Īladdin slowly stepped down the stairs. Pour out the oil in the lamp and bring it to me. Walk on till you come to a large flat stone and on the stone will be a lighted lamp. You will walk through a garden of fruit trees. Go down, and at the foot of the steps, follow a long hall. “Fear nothing,” said the magician to Aladdin. He saw steps that led down to a dark hole. He chanted a few magic words and the giant crystal rose up several feet in the air, moved to the side and landed. “Under this giant white crystal lies a treasure that is to be yours.”
