Aladdin and the Magic Lamp (18)

Aladdin and the Magic Lamp (18)

That evning at home, Aladdin's mother declared,
" Explain it to me, my son, because I don't understand.
For all this time you have been dreaming about just one thing: marrying the princess.
Now just as your dream comes true, you destroy everything by making a promise you can't keep !
Have you gone mad ?  "

" Not at all, " answered Aladdin, picking up the magic lamp.

Before the genie even had time to speak, Aladdin had already made his wish: a palace entirely made of marble, worthy of the pricess.

It should have walls decorated with diamonds, mosaic flooring, finished with everything of the finest quality, and surrounded by magnificent gardens !

The genie listened, not the least suprised.

When at last he spoke it was to ask, " And where do you want this palace to be situated ? "

" Opposite the sultan's palace, " answered Aladdin.

" Very well, " said the genie.
And with that, he vanished.
