Both were quite amazed at seeing rise before them a strange figure this proved to be the Genius of the Lamp, who asked for their commands. He told her all that had happened she then felt curious to look at the Lamp he had brought, and began rubbing it, to make it shine brighter. In an instant he found himself at home, very hungry, and his poor mother was much pleased to see him again. While crying bitterly, he by chance rubbed the ring, and a figure appeared before him, saying, “I am at your command, the Genius of the Ring what do you desire?”Īladdin told the Genius of the Ring that he only wanted to be set free, and to be taken back to his mother. The Magician, in an anger, then slammed down the trap-door, and Aladdin was shut up fast enough. “Not till I get out safe,” cried the boy. “Give me the Lamp,” said the old man, angrily. Many of these he plucked and put in his pockets, and then returned with the Lamp, and called upon his uncle to help him up the broken steps. As he came back through the garden, his eyes were dazzled with the bright-coloured fruits on the trees, shining like glass. He took the Lamp from the shelf, threw out the oil, and wrapped it in his arms. Aladdin found all the Magician had told him to be true he passed quickly but cautiously through the three halls, so as not even to touch the walls with his clothes, as the Magician had directed.
