Bibliography: Arabian Nights by Andrew Lang arabian-nights-merchant-and-genius.html

There was a poor man named Aladdin. He was taken to a cave to retreat treasure from. But he ended up being stuck in the cave. He wished to be out of the cave and he was taken out. He went on to tell his mother what happened. He collected the lamp and planned to sell it but it was very dirty so he rubbed it to get the dust off and a genie came out. The sultan told everyone to close their doors while he and the princess went to the bath but Aladdin looked and fell in love with her at first sight. Aladdin was left with the princess but she was terrified. The next night the princess was left with him instead. Aladdin wished the genie would make him into a new man, a man for the princess to marry. He also wished for the genie to build him a brand new palace. Aladdin and the princess got married and he took her and the sultan to see the new palace. Aladdin was loved by everyone. The magician heard of the palace and became very angry. The magician went to the palace the next day and pretended to be trading lamps. The magician stole the magic lamp from Aladdin. And the next day the palace was gone. The sultan asked for Aladdins head to be cut off. Aladdin was surprised to see that his palace was gone. The sultan asked for his daughter  and Aladdin asked to have 40 days to find her. Aladdin found the princess with the magician and asked the princess where the lamp was. The princess said that the magician carries the lamp with him wherever he goes. The princess was delighted to see Aladdin but the sultan did not know so he was very upset at losing his daughter. Aladdin then told the princess all the truth of what had happened and they ended living happily together. 

Here is a picture of Aladdin and the princess.
