Aladdin and the Magic Lamp (21)

Aladdin and the Magic Lamp (21)

Aladdin helped to govern the sultan's kingdam and, as time passed by, his subjects grew to love him more and more.

Every time he went to the mosque or he went hunting, he distributed gold pieces to the crowd.

Everyone in the country spoke highly of his kindness, hia generosity and his talent for keeping law and order.

He became so well known beyond the borders, the mountains and the seas that his name was even mentioned in Africa.

There, lived someone who knew him very well, but who thought he had been dead for many years: the wicked magician !

He remembered the lad as if it were yesterday.
If the poor Aladdin was rich now, it must be all thanks to the lamp he had found in the orchard.

The magician promised himself to recapture it !

By means of magic he soon arrived in the East.

There he swiftly disguised himself as a travelling merchant trading lamps.

Then, finding out that Aladdin had gone hunting, he began to prowl around his palace.
