A magic lamp
Aladdin began to climb the
steps but then stopped. Suddenly he felt very frightened.
‘Give me the lamp!’ the magician shouted again.
Aladdin climbed two more steps. The magician put his hand
out. Aladdin held out up the lamp but at the last moment
pulled it back.
Suddenly he magician pulled out a big knife. ‘Give me
the lamp!’
Aladdin moved back down he steps. ‘Why do you want
the lamp, Uncle?’
‘I am not your uncle,’ said the magician.
‘I sent you into the cave to get the lamp.’
‘Because it’s a magic lamp. Only a boy of
fifteen can take the lamp from the cave. That’s why I
asked you to get it.’
'You will die in this
cave'
The magician stopped shouting.
He smiled ‘Aladdin, you clever boy! I can make you
rich. Give me the lamp.’
Looking up, Aladdin saw the magician standing in front of
the entrance. He was hiding the knife behind his back.
Shaking his head, Aladdin said, ‘No, I won’t
give you it!’
The magician was very angry. ‘Then nobody shall have
the lamp!’ he cried. ‘And you will die here in
this cave.’
‘No!’ cried Aladdin. ‘Don’t leave
me here!’
But the magician closed the entrance and walked away.
Aladdin sat down and cried.
