LESSON 7
Passage 2 ALADDIN AND THE MAGIC LAMP
Aladdin was a young gentleman. His father died when he was young, so his mother took care of him. One day, a white- bearded old man entered their house and said to the mother: "I am your husband's brother, don't you know me? I left this country a long ago". Really, he was a wicked wizard.
Next day, the old man took Aladdin to a desert and asked him to gather dry branches and make a great fire. Aladdin did what the old man told him and put the branches on a long flat stone, and then the old man cast magic powder on flames and uttered unknown words. Then, fearful noise was heard, the stone was broken and deep hole appeared in the ground.
Aladdin was surprised! He wanted to run away, but the old man caught him and said: "Take this ring; it will guard you against evil spirits that live in this cave. When you reach its end, you will find an oil lamp. Bring it soon to me".
Aladdin began to walk carefully and reached the bottom of the ladder. He was greatly surprised when he saw lots of gold and jewels at the end of the cave. He looked at this wealth, filled his pockets with gold and jewels, then found the lamp and put it on his waist.
