Once upon a time, a lazy boy who named Aladdin lived with his mother. His father was a poor tailor and he died when Aladdin was young.

One day, he met a stranger. A stranger came up to Aladdin and he said "I will make you the richest man in the world". The stranger's is Abanazar and his uncle. So, he followed Abanazar. They walked out of the city and showed Aladdin a trap door made of stone in the grass. His uncle could do magic, so he was surprised. His uncle wanted a lamp under the stone trap door. He made Aladdin come to bring the lamp. Abanazar gave him a ring. He went and found the lamp but he was shut there. He was in trouble. Suddenly, a huge man appeared from ring in front of him. The huge man helped him to get out of there.

He went back home in a hurry and he told his mother what had happened on him. His mother started to polish the lamp to sell for food money. Then, a giant man floated out. The giant man is the genie of the lamp. He said "Your wish is my command". So, they got a silver plates and foods. Their life was easy.

One day, he fell in love with Princess. The princess's name is Badr-al-Budur. So, he presented jewels her father, sultan because Aladdin wanted to marry with her. Sultan saw these big jewels and he admitted to marry him. He was very pleased but Sultan broke the promise and they heard rumor about Princess to marry Vizier's son. So, he ordered the genie to disturb their marriage. Thanks to genie, Vizier's son ended the marriage. Aladdin made genie built a home with marble floors, jewels in the walls for her. Palace was built. She was pleasured very much.

One day, Abanazar heard a rumor of Aladdin. He went the city they lived to steal the lamp. He found the lamp and ordered genie to get him the palace and the Princess. So, Sultan and Aladdin was surprised. Aladdin promised Sultan to find her. Then, he went to find the Palace and he could help her and got back his lamp. They could go back home.

Afterward, Abanazar had an evil brother and he wanted to kill Aladdin. However, he killed him and Aladdin and Badr were safe.

When I read this book, I was surprised very much because the story is not different story of Aladdin I have known. A genie of ring did not appear in the story I had known.
