Aladdin got a Genie

ONCE UPON A TIME, a young man’s father died. Aladdin, as that was the young man’s name, took his father’s place in running the family store with his mother. One day, a stranger walked into the store.

“I am your uncle,” said the stranger to Aladdin. “I have come to see you.”

“My father never spoke of a brother,” said Aladdin.

Aladdin’s mother turned around. “My husband had no brother,” said she to the stranger, narrowing her eyes.

“I assure you it is true,” said the stranger. “Years ago your husband and I agreed that if something should happen to him, since I have been very fortunate in my life, I would help to bring the same good fortune to your family.”

The mother was interested. “What do you have in mind?” she said.

“I know of a secret place that holds many riches,” said the stranger. “I will take your son there. With the wealth he will find, you and he will be set for life.”he Greatest Gift: Audun and his Bear | Fun Folktale Read-along | Bedtime Stories For Children

Aladdin Story

“I know of a secret place that holds many riches,” said the stranger. “I will take your son there. With the wealth he will find, you and he will be set for life.”

And so the mother agreed. The old man and the boy traveled for days throughout the desert. At last they came to a cave. “You should know that I learned a bit of magic in my life,” said the old man to Aladdin. “Do not be surprised by anything you might see.”

They stepped inside the cave, and it was pitch-black. The old man shook open his fist. A ball of light suddenly appeared, brightening the cave.

Under the light with one long finger, the uncle drew on the ground the shape of a circle. He pulled from his pocket some red dust and threw it over the circle. He recited magic words, and the earth trembled. The circle on the cave floor cracked wide open, and up through the cracks rose a giant white quartz crystal. It hovered in the air.

“Do not be alarmed,” said the magician. “What we want is under this crystal.”

He chanted a few more magic words and the giant crystal moved to the side, and landed. Aladdin peered into the hole in the circle. The first few steps led into a deep abyss.

“Fear nothing,” said the magician to Aladdin. “You must go down these steps. At the bottom of the steps you will see a long hallway. Follow the hallway to a garden of fruit trees. Touch nothing! Go on and you will see a large flat stone. On top of the stone is an oil lamp that is lit. Pour out the oil and bring the lamp to me. Now go!”
