dreamfall . I put up a listener poll on my Instagram account asking you what story I should do , and the winner was Aladdin . And it's about time , because I've been dying to read this story . It's a little different from the Disney movies we're used to , but I think you'll love the original version of the story just as much . So snuggle up in your blankets and have sweet

Speaker 1 4:11

dreams . There once lived a poor tailor who had a son called Aladdin , a careless , idle boy who would do nothing but play all day long in the streets with little idle boys like himself . This so grieved the father that he died . Yet in spite of his mother's tears and prayers , aladdin did not mend his ways . One day , when he was playing in the streets as usual , a stranger asked him his age and if he was not the son of Mustafa the tailor . I am , sir , replied Aladdin , but he died a long while ago . On this , the stranger , who was a famous African magician , fell on his neck and kissed him , saying I am your uncle and I knew you from your likeness to my brother . Go tell your mother I am coming . Aladdin ran home and told his mother of his newly found uncle In deep child . She said your father had a brother , but I always thought he was dead . However , she prepared supper and bade Aladdin seek his uncle , who came laden with wine and fruit . He fell down and kissed the place where Mustafa used to sit , bidding Aladdin's mother not to be surprised at not having seen him before , as he had been forty years out of the country . He then turned to Aladdin and asked him his trade , at which the boy hung his head while his mother burst into tears . Upon learning that Aladdin was idle and would learn no trade , he offered to take a shot for him and stock it with merchandise . Next day he bought Aladdin a fine suit of clothes and took him all over the city showing him the sights , and brought him home at nightfall to his mother , who was overjoyed to see her son so

Speaker 1 7:43

fine . The next day , the magician led Aladdin into some beautiful gardens a long way outside the city gates . They sat down by a fountain and the magician pulled a cake from his girdle , which he divided between them . Then they journeyed onwards till they almost reached the mountains . Aladdin was so tired that he begged to go back , but the magician beguiled him with pleasant stories and led him on , in spite of himself . At last they came to two mountains divided by a narrow

Speaker 1 8:40

valley . We will go no farther , said his uncle . I will show you something wonderful . Only do you gather up sticks while I kindle a fire . When it was lit , the magician threw on it a powder he had about him , at the same time saying some magical words . The earth trembled a little in front of them , disclosing a square , flat stone with a brass ring in the middle to raise it by . Aladdin tried to run away , but the magician caught him and gave him a blow that knocked him down . What have I done , uncle , he said piteously . We were upon . The magician said more kindly , fear nothing , but obey me . Only this stone lies a treasure which is to be yours and no one else may touch it . So you must do exactly as I tell you At the word

Speaker 1 10:02

treasure . Aladdin forgot his fears and grasped the ring , as he was told , saying the names of his father and grandfather . The stone came up quite easily and some steps appeared . Go down , said the magician . At the foot of those steps you will find an open door leading into three large halls . Look up your gown and go through them without touching anything or you will die instantly . These halls lead into a garden of fine fruit trees . Walk on till you come to a niche in a terrace where stands a lighted lamp . Pour out the oil it contains and bring it to me . He drew a ring from his finger and gave it to Aladdin , bidding him

Speaker 1 11:10

prosper . Aladdin found everything , as the magician had said , gathered some fruit off the trees and , having got the lamp , arrived at the mouth of the cave , the magician cried out in a great hurry make haste and give me the lamp . This Aladdin refused to do . Until he was out of the cave , the magician flew into a terrible passion and , throwing some more powder on the fire , he said something and the stone rolled back into its place . The man left the country , which plainly showed that he was no uncle of Aladdin's but a cunning magician who had read in his magic books of a wonderful lamp which would make him the most powerful man in the world . Though he alone knew where to find it , he could only receive it from the hand of another . He had picked out the foolish Aladdin for this purpose , intending to get the lamp and kill him

Speaker 1 12:41

afterwards . For two days Aladdin remained in the dark , crying and lamenting . At last , he clasped his hands in prayer and in doing so rubbed the ring which the magician had forgotten to take from him . Immediately , an enormous and frightful genie rose out of the earth , saying what was thou with me ? I am the slave of the ring and will obey thee in all things . Aladdin fearlessly replied Deliver me from this place . Whereupon the earth opened and he found himself outside as soon as his eyes could bear the

Speaker 1 13:45

light . He went home , but fainted on the threshold . When he came to himself , he told his mother what had passed and showed her the lamp and the fruits he had gathered in the garden , which were in reality precious stones . He then asked for some food , a last child . She said I have nothing in the house , but I have spun a little cotton and will go sell it . Aladdin bade her keeper cotton , for he would sell the lamp . Instead , as it was very dirty , she began to rub it that it might fetch a higher price . Instantly , a hideous genie appeared and asked what she would have . She fainted away , but Aladdin , snatching the lamp , said boldly fetch me something to eat . The genie returned with a silver bowl , twelve silver plates containing rich meats , two silver cups and two bottles of wine . Aladdin's mother , when she came to herself , said Whence comes this splendid feast ? Ask not , but eat , replied Aladdin . So they sat at breakfast till it was dinner time and Aladdin told his mother about the lamp . She begged him to sell it and have nothing to do with the devils . No , said Aladdin . Since chance has made us aware of its virtues , we will use it in the ring likewise , which I shall always wear on my finger . When they had eaten all the genie had brought , aladdin sold one of the silver plates , and so on , till none were left . He then had recourse to the genie , who gave him another set of plates , and thus they lived many

Speaker 1 16:29

years . One day Aladdin heard an order from the Sultan proclaiming that everyone was to stay at home and close his shutters while the princess , his daughter , went to and from the bath . Aladdin was seized by a desire to see her face , which was very difficult , but she was always veiled . He hid himself behind the door of the bath and peeped through a crack . The princess lived at her veil as she went in and looked so beautiful that Aladdin fell in love with her at first sight . He went home so changed that his mother was frightened . He told her he loved the princess so deeply , he could not live without her and meant to ask her in marriage of her father . His mother , on hearing this , burst out laughing . But Aladdin , at last , prevailed upon her to go before the Sultan and carry his request . She fetched a napkin and laid it in the magic fruits from the enchanted garden which sparkled and shone like the most beautiful jewels . She took these with her to please the Sultan and set out trusting in the

Speaker 1 18:16

lamp . The Grand Vizier and the Lords of the Council had just gone in as she entered the hall and placed herself in front of the Sultan . He , however , took no notice of her . She went every day for a week and stood in the same place . When the Council broke up on the sixth day , the Sultan sent to his Vizier I see a certain woman in the audience chamber every day carrying something in a napkin Call her next time that I may find out what she wants Next day . At a sign for the Vizier , she went up to the foot of the throne and remained kneeling until the Sultan said to her Rise , good woman , and tell me what you want . She hesitated , so the Sultan sent way all but the Vizier and bade her speak freely , promising to forgive her beforehand for anything she might say . She then told him of her son's violent love for the Princess . I prayed him to forget her , she said , but in vain . He threatened to do some desperate deed if I refused to go and ask her majesty , for the hand of the princess . Now I pray you to forgive not me alone , but also my son

Speaker 1 20:08

Aladdin . The sultan asked her kindly what she had in the napkin , whereupon she unfolded the jewels and presented them . He was thunderstruck and , turning to the vizier , said what sayest thou ? Ought I not to bestow the princess on one who values her at such a price ? The vizier , who wanted her for his own son , begged the sultan to withhold her for three months , in the course of which he hoped his son could contrive to make him a richer present . The sultan granted this and told Aladdin's mother that , though he consented to the marriage , she must not appear before him again for three

Speaker 1 21:09

months . Aladdin waited patiently for nearly three months , but after two had elapsed , his mother , going into the city to buy oil , found everyone rejoicing and asked what was going on ? Do you not know ? Was the answer that the son of the grand vizier is to marry the sultan's daughter tonight . Breathless , she ran and told Aladdin , who was overwhelmed at first but presently bethought him of the lamp . He rubbed it and the genie appeared saying what is thy will ? Aladdin replied the sultan , as thou knowest , has broken his promise to me , and the vizier's son is to have the princess . My command is that tonight you bring hither the bride and bridegroom , master , I obey , said the genie . Aladdin then went to his chamber where , sure enough , at midnight , the genie transported the bed containing the vizier's son and the princess . Take this new married man , he said , and put him outside in the cold and return at daybreak . Whereupon the genie took the vizier's son out of the bed , leaving Aladdin with the princess . Fear nothing , aladdin said to her . You are my wife , promised to me by your unjust father , and no harm will come to

Speaker 1 23:21

you . The princess was too frightened to speak and passed the most miserable night of her life , while Aladdin lay down beside her and slept soundly . At the appointed hour , the genie fetched in the shivering bridegroom , laid him in his place and transported the bed back to the palace . Presently , the sultan came to wish his daughter good morning . The unhappy vizier's son jumped up and hid himself . While the princess would not say a word and was very sorrowful . The sultan sent her mother to her who said how comes it , child , that he will not speak to your father ? What has happened ? The princess sighed deeply and at last told her mother how , during the night , the bed had been carried into some strange house and what had passed there . Her mother did not believe her in the least , but bade her rise and consider it an idle

Speaker 1 24:50

dream . The following night , exactly the same thing happened the next morning . While the princesses were refusing to speak , the sultan threatened to cut off her head . She then confessed , all bidding him . Ask the vizier's son . If it were not so , the sultan told the vizier to ask his son , who owned the truth , adding that , dearly as he loved the princess , he had rather die than go through another such fearful night and wished to be separated from her . His wish was granted and there was an end of feasting and

Speaker 1 25:40

rejoicing . When the three months were over , aladdin sent his mother to remind the sultan of his promise . She stood in the same place as before and the sultan , who had forgotten Aladdin , at once remembered him and sent for her . On seeing her poverty , the sultan felt less inclined than ever to keep his word and asked his vizier's advice , who counseled him to set so high a value on the princess that no man living could come up to it . The sultan then turned to Aladdin's mother , saying Good woman , a sultan must remember his promises , and I will remember mine , but your son must first send me forty basins of gold brimful of jewels , carried by forty servants and led by forty lords splendidly dressed . Tell him that I await his

Speaker 1 27:05

answer . The mother of Aladdin bowed low and went home , thinking all was lost . She gave Aladdin the message , adding he may wait long enough for your answer . Not so long , mother , as you think . Her son replied I would do a great deal more than that for the princess . He summoned the genie and in a few moments eighty people arrived and filled up the small house and garden . Aladdin made them to set out to the palace two by two , followed by his mother . They were so richly dressed , with such splendid jewels that everyone crowded to see them and the basins of gold they carried on their heads . They entered the palace and , after kneeling before the sultan , stood in a half circle around the throne with arms crossed . While Aladdin's mother presented them to the sultan . He hesitated no longer but said Good woman , return and tell your son that I wait for him with open

Speaker 1 28:38

arms . She lost no time in telling Aladdin , bidding him make haste . But Aladdin first called the genie . I want a scented bath , he said , a richly embroidered habit , a horse surpassing the sultans and twenty servants to attend me . Besides this , six servants beautifully dressed to wait on my mother and lastly , ten thousand pieces of gold in ten purses . No sooner said than done , aladdin mounted his horse and passed through the streets . The servants drank gold as they

Speaker 1 29:38

went . Those who had played with him in his childhood knew him not . He had grown so handsome . When the sultan saw him , he came down from his throne , embraced him and led him into a hall where a feast was spread , intending to marry him to the princess that very day . But Aladdin refused , saying I must build a palace fit for her , and took his leave . Once home he said to the genie Build me a palace of the finest marble , set with jasper agate and other precious stones . In the middle you shall build me a large hall with a dome with four walls of massy , gold and silver , each side having six windows whose lattices all except one which is to be left unfinished must be set with diamonds and rubies . There must be stables and horses and grooms and servants . Go and see about

Speaker 1 31:02

it . The palace was finished the next day and the genie carried him there and showed him all his orders , faithfully carried out , even to the laying of a velvet carpet from Aladdin's palace to the sultan's . Aladdin's mother then dressed herself carefully and walked to the palace with her servants . While he followed her on horseback , the sultan sent musicians with trumpets and symbols to meet them , so that the air resounded with music and cheers . She was taken to the princess , who saluted her and treated her with great honor . At night , the princess said goodbye to her father and set out on the carpet for Aladdin's palace , with his mother at her side and followed by the hundred servants . She was charmed at the sight of Aladdin , who ran to receive her Princess . He said blame your beauty for my boldness if I have displeased you . She told him that , having seen him , she willingly obeyed her father in this matter . After the wedding had taken place , aladdin led her into the hall where a feast was spread and she slept with him , after which they danced till

Speaker 1 32:55

midnight . Next day , aladdin invited the Sultan to see the palace . On entering the hall with the four and twenty windows , with their rubies , diamonds and emeralds , he cried it is a world's wonder . There is only one thing that surprises me . Was it by accident that one window was left unfinished ? No , sir , by design , returned Aladdin . I wished your majesty to have the glory of finishing this palace . The Sultan was pleased and sent for the best jewelers in the city . He showed them the unfinished window and bade them fitted up like the others . Sir , replied the spokesman . We cannot find jewels enough . The Sultan had his own fetched , which they soon used , but no purpose , for in a month's time the work was not have done . Aladdin , knowing that their task was in vain , bade them undo their work and carry the jewels back , and the genie finished the window at his command . The Sultan was surprised to receive his jewels again and visited Aladdin , who showed him the window finished . The Sultan embraced him , the envious vizier meanwhile hinting that it was the work of

Speaker 1 35:02

enchantment . Aladdin had won the hearts of the people by his gentle bearing . He was made captain of the Sultan's armies and won several battles for him , but remained as courteous as before and lived thus in peace and content for several years . But far away in Africa , the magician remembered Aladdin and , by his magic arts , discovered that Aladdin , instead of perishing miserably in the cave , had escaped and had married a princess with whom he was living in great honor and wealth . He knew that the poor Taylor's son could only have accomplished this by means of the lamp and traveled night and day till he reached the capital of Trinna , bent on Aladdin's ruin . As he passed through the town , he heard people talking everywhere about a marvelous palace . Forgive my ignorance . He asked what is the place you speak of ? Have you not heard of Prince Aladdin's palace ? Was the reply the greatest wonder in the world . I will direct you if you have a mind to see it . The magician thanked him who spoke and , having seen the palace , knew that it had been raised by the genie of the lamp and became half mad . With rage , he determined to get hold of the lamp and again plunge Aladdin into the deepest

Speaker 1 37:09

poverty . Unluckily , aladdin had gone hunting for eight days , which gave the magician plenty of time . He bought a dozen lamps , put them into a basket and went to the palace crying New lamps for old . Followed by a jeering crowd , the princess , sitting in the hall of four and twenty windows , sent a servant to find out what the noise was about . Who came back laughing so that the princess scolded her . Madam , replied the servant , who can help laughing to see an old fool offering to exchange fine new lamps for old ones ? Another servant , hearing this , said there's an old one on the corner there which he can have Now . This was the magic lamp which Aladdin had left there as it could not take it out hunting with him . The princess , not knowing its value , laughingly bade the servant take it and make the exchange . She went and said to the magician give me a new lamp for this . He snatched it and bade the servant take her choice . Amid the jeers , the crowd . Little he cared but laughed off carrying his lamps and went out of the city gates to a lonely place where he remained till nightfall . When he pulled out the lamp and rubbed it , the genie appeared and , at the magician's command , carried him together with the palace and the princess in it , to a lonely place in

Speaker 1 39:26

Africa . Next morning the sultan looked out of the window towards Aladdin's palace and rubbed his eyes for it was gone . He sent for the vizier and asked what had become of the palace . The vizier looked out too and was lost in astonishment . He again put it down to enchantment and this time the sultan believed him and sent thirty men on horseback to fetch Aladdin back in chains . They met him riding home , bound him and forced him to go with them on foot . The people , however , who loved him , followed arm to sea that he came to no harm . He was carried before the sultan , who ordered the executioner to cut off his head . The executioner made Aladdin kneel down , bandage his eyes and raised his scimitar to strike . At that instant the vizier , who saw that the crowd had forced their way into the courtyard and were scaling the walls to rescue Aladdin , called to the executioner to stay his hand . The people indeed looked so threatening that the sultan gave way and ordered Aladdin to be unbound and pardoned him in the sight of the

Speaker 1 41:20

crowd . Aladdin now begged to know what he had done . False wretch , said the sultan , come hither and showed him from the window the place where his palace had stood . Aladdin was so amazed he could not say a word . Where is your palace ? And my daughter , demanded the Sultan For the first . I am not so deeply concerned , but my daughter I must have and you must find her or lose your head . Aladdin begged for 40 days in which to find her , promising , if he failed to return , to suffer death of the Sultan's pleasure . His prayer was granted and he went forth , sadly , from the Sultan's presence . For three days he wandered about like a madman , asking everyone what had become of his palace , but they only laughed and pitied him . He came to the banks of a river and knelt down to say his prayers before throwing himself in . In doing so he robbed the ring he still wore . The genie he had seen in the cave appeared and asked his will , save my life . Genie , said Aladdin , and bring my palace back . That is not my power , said the genie . I am only the slave of the ring . You must ask him of the lamp Even so , said Aladdin , but you can take me to the palace and set me down under my dear wife's

Speaker 1 43:36

window . He had once found himself in Africa under the window of the princess and fell asleep out of sheer weariness . He was awakened by the singing of birds and his heart was lighter . He saw plainly that all his misfortunes were owing to the loss of the lamp and vainly wondered who had robbed him of it . That morning the princess rose earlier than she had done , since she had been carried into Africa by the magician whose company she was forced to endure once a day . She , however , treated him so harshly that he dared not live there altogether . As she was dressing , one of her women looked out and saw Aladdin . The princess ran and opened the window , and at the noise she made , aladdin looked up . She called him to come to her , and great was the joy of these lovers seeing each other

Speaker 1 45:02

again . After he had kissed her , aladdin said I beg of you , princess , in God's name , before we speak of anything else , for your own sake and mine , tell me what has become of an old lamp I left on the cornice in the hall of forty and twenty windows when I went hunting Alas . She said I am the innocent cause of our sorrows and told him of the exchange of the lamp . Now I know , cried Aladdin , that we have to thank the African magician for this . Where is the lamp ? He carries it about with him , said the princess . I know , for he pulled it out to show me . He wishes me to break my faith with you and marry him , saying that you will be headed by my father's command . He is forever speaking ill of you , but I only reply by my tears If I persist . I doubt not , but he will use

Speaker 1 46:25

violence . Aladdin comforted her and left her for a while . He changed clothes with the first person he met in the town and , having bought a certain powder , returned to the princess , who let him in by a little side door . Put on your most beautiful dress , he said to her , and received the magician with smiles , leading him to believe that you have forgotten me . Invite him to sup with you and say you wish to taste the wine of his country . He will go for some and while he is gone I will tell you what to

Speaker 1 47:18

do . She listened carefully to Aladdin and when he left her , arrayed herself gaily . For the first time since she left China . She put on a girdle and a headdress of diamonds and , seeing in a glass that she was more beautiful than ever , received the magician saying to his great amazement I have made up my mind that Aladdin is dead and that all my tears will not bring him back to me . So I resolved him or no more and have therefore invited you to sup with me , but I am tired of the wines of China and would feign tasos of Africa . The magician flew to a cellar and the princess put the powder Aladdin had given her in her cup . When he returned , she asked him to drink her health in the wine of Africa , handing him her cup in exchange for his as a sign she was reconciled to him . Before drinking , the magician made her speech in praise of her beauty , but the princess cut him short , saying Let us drink first and you shall say what you will afterwards . She set her cup to her lips and kept it there while the magician drained his to the dregs and fell back lifeless . The princess then opened the door to Aladdin and flung her arms around his neck , but Aladdin went to the dead magician , took the lamp out of his vest and bathed the genie , carried the palace and all in it back to China . This was done and the princess , in her chamber , felt only two little shocks and little thought . She was home

Speaker 1 49:50

again . The sultan , who was sitting in his closet mourning for his lost daughter , happened to look up and rubbed his eyes , for there stood the palace as before . He hastened there and Aladdin received him in the hall of the four and twenty windows , with the princess at his side . Aladdin told him what had happened and showed him the dead body of the magician that he might believe . A ten days feast was proclaimed and it seemed as if Aladdin might now live the rest of his life in peace . But it was not meant to

Speaker 1 50:46

be . The African magician had a younger brother who was , if possible , more wicked and more cunning than himself . He travelled to China to avenge his brother's death and went to visit a pious woman called Fatima . Thinking she might be of use to him , he entered her cell and clapped a dagger to her breast , telling her to rise and do his bidding on pain of death . He changed clothes with her , coloured his face like hers and put on her veil . Then he went towards the palace of Aladdin and all the people thinking he was the holy woman gathered round him , kissing his hands and begging his blessing . When he got to the palace , there was such a noise going on around him that the princess bade her servant look out the window and ask what was the matter . The servant said it was the holy woman curing people by her touch of their ailments , whereupon the princess , who had long desired to see Fatima , sent for

Speaker 1 52:28

her . On coming to the princess , the magician offered up a prayer for her health and prosperity . When he was done , the princess made him sit by her and begged him to stay with her always . The false Fatima , who wished for nothing better , consented but kept his veil down for fear of discovery . The princess showed him the hall and asked him what he thought of it . It is truly beautiful , said the false Fatima . In my mind , it wants but one thing . And what is that , said the princess . If only a rock's egg , replied he , were hung up from the middle of the stone , it would be the wonder of the world . After this , the princess could think of nothing but the rock's

Speaker 1 53:38

egg . And when Aladdin returned from hunting he found her in very ill humor . He begged to know it was a miss , and she told him that all her pleasure in the hall was spoiled for a want of a rock's egg hanging from the dome . If that is all , replied Aladdin , you shall soon be happy . He left her and rubbed the lamp and when the genie appeared , commanded him to bring a rock's egg . The genie gave such a loud and terrible shriek that the hall shook . Wretch , he cried it is not enough that I have done everything for you , but you must command me to bring my master and hang him up in the midst of this

Speaker 1 54:40

dome . You and your wife and your palace deserve to be burnt ashes , but that this request does not come from you , but from the brother of the African magician whom you destroyed . He is now in your palace disguised as this holy woman . It was he who put that wish into your wife's head . Take care of yourself , for he means to kill you . So saying , the genie disappeared . Aladdin went back to the princess , saying his head ached and requesting that the holy Fatima should be fetched to lay her hands on it . But when the magician came near Aladdin , seizing his dagger , pierced him to the heart . What have you done , cried the princess . You have killed the holy woman . Not , so replied Aladdin , but a wicked magician , and told her of how she had been deceived . After this , aladdin and his wife lived in peace . He succeeded the Sultan when he died and reigned for many years , leaving behind him A long line of kings .

Speaker 2 57:03

A long line of kings , a long line of kings . A long line of kings , a long line of kings , a long line of kings , a long line of kings , a long line of kings .
