Aladdin lives in a small house in the city. He lives with his mother. They are very poor, and his mother works a lot. Every day she washes and mends clothes. Aladdin is lazy; he doesn ’ t like work.

“ Please help me more, Aladdin, ” his mother says.

But Aladdin doesn ’ t help his mother. He plays in the market with his friends. One day, everybody in the city is excited. The Sultan rides through the market with his daughter, Princess Jasmine. Aladdin watches, too. He sees Princess Jasmine and he falls in love.

“ I want to marry Princess Jasmine, ” he says.

“But you aren’t rich,” laugh his friends. “You’re poor!”

The next day a man comes to Aladdin ’ s house.

“

My name’s Jafar. I want you to work for me,” he says. But Aladdin is lazy. “ I can ’ t work for you, Jafar, ” he says. “ I ’ m sorry. ”

“ I can give you a lot of money, ” says Jafar. Aladdin thinks about Princess Jasmine. “ OK, ” he says.

Jafar and Aladdin ride to the mountains. They ride for a long time, and then they come to a cave. The cave is dark and dangerous, and Jafar doesn ’ t want to go in.

“ Aladdin, there is a lamp in this cave, ” says Jafar. “ Get it for me! ”

Aladdin is scared, but he climbs into the cave. It ’ s cold and dark. But then he goes into a big room and sees many beautiful colors around him. There are jewels everywhere! Aladdin picks up some jewels and puts them in his pockets.

“

Now I am rich. I can marry Princess Jasmine! ” he says.

“Where is the lamp?” says Jafar.

Aladdin looks around the dark cave. He sees a dirty, old lamp and he picks it up.

“ Give me that lamp! ” says Jafar.

“ Help me out of the cave. Then I can give you the lamp, ” says Aladdin.

Jafar is angry. He doesn’ t want to help Aladdin. He wants to have the lamp. He uses his magic.

BANG! Now there’s a big rock in front of the cave.

“Now nobody can have the lamp!” says Jafar. He rides away, and Aladdin is alone in the cave. He can ’ t get out!

The cave is dark, and Aladdin is scared. He picks up the lamp and tries to light it, but it is too dirty.

Aladdin rubs the lamp with his hand and a genie appears. The lamp is magic!

“ What is your wish? ” says the genie.

“ Please, take me home, ” says Aladdin.

Aladdin ’ s mother is happy to see him and the jewels.

“ Take these jewels as a gift to the Sultan, ” Aladdin says to his mother.

“ Say to the Sultan that I am a rich man and I want to marry Princess Jasmine. ”

Aladdin ’ s mother goes to the Sultan ’ s palace.

The Sultan likes the jewels. “Yes, Aladdin can marry Princess Jasmine,” he says.

Aladdin goes to see Princess Jasmine.

“ You are very handsome, ” says Princess Jasmine.

“ You are very beautiful, too, ” says Aladdin. They marry, and live in a big palace with a beautiful garden. Aladdin ’ s mother lives with them, too. They are all happy.

One day, an old man comes to the palace. “ Give me your old lamps! I can give you new lamps! ” he says.

Aladdin is shopping in the city, and Princess Jasmine is alone in the house.

“

Aladdin has an old lamp. He needs a new one, ” says Princess Jasmine.

But the old man is Jafar! He rubs the magic lamp and the genie appears.

“ What is your wish? ” says the genie.

“ Take away Aladdin ’ s palace! ” says Jafar.

“ OK, ” says the genie.

The genie claps his hands and the palace disappears!

Jafar takes Princess Jasmine to his house.

“ Help! ” says Princess Jasmine.

Aladdin comes home. Where is the palace, and where is Princess Jasmine? He walks around the city, but he can ’ t see her. Aladdin goes to Jafar ’ s house. He looks in the window, and sees Princess Jasmine. She ’ s crying.

“ Please help me, Aladdin, ” says Princess Jasmine.
