This story talked about Aladdin who lived with his mother in China. They were very poor. One day, a rich man came to Aladdin's house. He gave Aladdin a magic ring. He asked

Aladdin if he would like to work for him. "Oh yes" said Aladdin "because we're very poor." The man took Aladdin to a cave and he said "Go down into the cave find my magic lamp."

Aladdin was scared because the old man was very angry now. Aladdin said very quietly "He is a bad old man." When Aladdin went d0wn into the cave, it was very dark and very cold.

Aladdin found a magic lamp and rubbed it. Out flew out a large red monster. He said, "What can I do for you?" Aladdin said "I want some money, and a new house for my mother."

Aladdin became a rich man and was handsome.

One day he went to the city with his mother And he saw a beautiful young woman. He said "It's nice. I'm going to marry her. She's the daughter of the emperor." He went to the fortress of the emperor. "Hmm" said the emperor "you're a very handsome man. Are you rich?'' "Oh yes!" said Aladdin. After that "You can marry my daughter," smiled the Emperor.

One morning when Aladdin was not in the castle the old man came to the castle and he said "New lamps for old." Aladdin's wife said "We've got an old lamp. I'd like a new one please."She didn't know about the magic lamp and she gave the man the magic lamp. The old man was happy and he quickly rubbed it. The big red genie flew out and the man said to the genie "Take Aladdin's castle and put it in the middle of the forest." Aladdin was very angry when he could not find his castle. Aladdin rubbed his magic ring. The big green genie flew out of it! He said "What can I do for you? " Aladdin said "Find my castle and bring it here! " There was Aladdin's castle again. Aladdin ran in to the castle and saw the bad old man. Aladdin was very fast and he quickly caught the old man. He took the magic lamp and rubbed it. Aladdin said to the genie I don't want to see this man again.

Aladdin took the magic lamp and put it in a safe place. Aladdin said "Now we can be happy, but let's be careful with this lamp."

Aladdin lived with his wife and his mother happily ever after.
