Arabian Nights (a
collection of approximately 200
Persian-
Indian-
Arabian tales of magical adventures, genies and
love, dating from the 10th century
AD). In most versions of the story, Aladdin, the hero of the story, is the lazy son of a poor widow. He meets a magician who
poses as his
uncle and persuades Aladdin to retrieve a wonderful lamp from a hidden cave. The magician gives Aladdin a magic
ring for his safety and sends him to carry out his
task. Aladdin enters the cave and finds the lamp but when he refuses to give the magician the lamp until safely out of the cave, the magician becomes enraged and closes the cave with Aladdin still in it. Aladdin soon discovers that by rubbing the lamp or the
ring, powerful genies appear who
grant him every wish. Aladdin gets free from the cave and with the
help of the genies, becomes immensely wealthy, marries a
sultan's daughter and succeeds the
sultan to the throne.
