Book-review 1-9 Aladdin

   I read " Aladdin ", this is very famous story in the world. This hero is the boy called Aladdin. He lived with his mother in a little house in Arabia. He was a lazy boy and he did not like to work, then he never helped her. One day he met an old man in a long black coat in the market. An old man began to talk with Aladdin." What is your name ?". He said, "Aladdin Mustafa". An old man was his father's brother. His name is Abanazar. Unfortunally Aladdin's father is dead.
An old man gave ten pieces of gold to him, and he said that he will visit Aladdin's house tommrow. Next day he visited at Aladdin's house to see his mother, and he ate wonderful meal. Next day Aladdin and Abanazar went to city, and they drank coffee, talked to people, had a very good dinner. It was a wonderful day for Aladdin. After that they went to top of the hill to see beautiful garden. but there was not garden on the hill. Abanazar said, " First we must make a fire ". Aladdin did not understand, but he made a fire for his uncle on the ground. Then Abanazar took some power out of a small box, and put it on the fire. He closed his eyes and said, " Abracadabra ". Then the sky went dark. Black smoke came from the fire, and the ground under the fire began to open. And in the ground there was now a big white stone with a ring in it. Only Aladdin can move this stone. Aladdin said," I am Aladdin, son of Mustafa ". The stone moved easily, and Aladdin could see stairs uner the ground. There were four big rooms, there were some fruits and a lamp. Aladdin have to bring the lamp by himself. Abanazar took a gold ring off his finger and gave it to Aladdin. This ring was margic. Aladdin put the ring on the little finger on his left hand. And he began to go down the stairs.
Abanazar was not his uncle. He was a magician from Morocco, he just wanted this lamp very much. Aladdin went down a hundred stairs and he found the lamp in the garden. He put the lamp in his pocket, and put some fruits in the pocket. He went to back to the stairs and go up the ground. Aladdin said to Abanazar, " First help me out, then you can have the lamp". They quarreled each other. Abanazar got angry with him. He closed the stone door with magic. Aladdin couldn't get out there. He stayed three days under the ground. Nobody came to help him. On the third day he remembered Abanazar's ring on his finger. Abanazar said " the ring to protect him". Then he put his right hand on it. Suddenly he heard noise, and blue smoke came out of the ring. And out of the smoke came a big jinnee. Aladin was very suprised, and very afraid. But Aladdin said to jinnee, "Take me out of here". Jinnee took him on the hill under the blue sky. He went back house, and talked about this story. They are poor, but everyday he said to jinnee," Bring rice and meat to us". They took took one of the plates to the market and sold it for two pieces of gold. Then they were rich.
Five years later, Aladdin had a shop in the market and three market-sellers worked for him. The sellers liked Aladdin because he was good to them. The market children liked Aladdin too, because he gave them money. Now they had a nice house near the garden and they has many beautiful things. One day he met " Princess Badr-al-Budur " in the street. She was beautiful, with big dark eyes.Suddenly he went back home, and he said to his mothor, " I want to marry her ". Aladdin got some jewels from the magic, and he gave these jewels to carry to the Sultan's palace. Many days his mother went to Sultan's palace with many jewels. But she couldn't meet Sultan. After several days, Sultan asked her, " Why do you come here every day?". Aladdin's mother said, " I have a son. my son loves your daughter, he wants to marry her". But the Vizier wanted the Princess to marry his son. For two month, the Vizier's son came to the Sultan and gave him gold, and jewels, and many beautiful things. One day Aladdin's mother came home from the market and said, " The Princess is going to marry the Vizier's son ". And that night, he took out the magic lamp and rubbed it. He said to the jinnee of the lamp "Bring Princess Badr-al-Budur to me ". In a second the jinnee was gack with the Princess asleep in his arms. When she opened her eyes, Aladdin said to her, " I love you ".
She thought Vizier's son think only gold and of jewels. She said to her father, " I do not want to marry the Vizier's son, I want Aladdin for my husband". Sultan said to Aladdin's mother, " He must give me forty gold plates with jewels, Forty slave-girls, with forty slaves, must carry the plates to me". Aladdin has the jinnee of the lamp. Next day He carried a all of them. Sultan said,"Aladdin must marry my daughter". Aladdin built new palace with useing jinnee of the lamp. That night Aladdin married Badr-al-Budur and they lived happily in the new palace.
When he could not get the lamp from Aladdin, he went home to Morocco. One day, he got out his seven black stones. These stones were magic, and when he put them in water, the water could tell him many things. Soon, he could see the magic lamp in the water, but it was not under the white stone in the Arabian hill. It was in a palace. After some monthes he arrived in Arabia, and he saw new palace. For the next week, He got a good idea. When Aladdin and his friends left the palace to go humting in the hill, he began to sell lamos, but not for money. He changed new lamp for old. The princess knew nothing about the lamp or its magic. He took the old lamp, gave a new lamp to Fawzia, and then quickly walked away. He took out the lamp and rubbed it. The jinnee of the lamp came to him, and Abanazar said," Carry Aladdin's palace, the Princess, and me back to Morocco". In the everning Aladdin and his friends finished hunting and began to go home. Suddenly they met Sultan's men, and Sultan's men said" we must take you to the Sultan." When Aladdin came into the palace, he found there were no palace, no princess, no gardens. Aladdin said to Sultan" Kill me now",but Sultan said " Find her in forty days- or you die". But without his magic, he could do nothing. After thirty-seven days he sat by a river. And then he saw the magician's ring on his little finger. He asked jinnee to take him to Morocco. In the Moroco, He met a Princess and new palace. In new palace, he got a idea. He is going to give her some sleeping-power. When he come here again, she must give him a drink and put the power in it. When he is sleeping, Aladdin kill him.
In the evening they heard him on the stairs. Abanazar opened the door of Badr-al-Budur's room and came in. And she asked to drink with her. She gave him a tall gold cup with the drink and the power in it. She said," You first, then me. In my country new husbands and wives always do this".He looked into her eyes and began to drink. It was a good sleeping-power, and after five seconds Abanazar's eyes closed and he was asleep. Aladdin ran in with his sword. He said,"Now, go into the next room and do not watch".The magician is dead. They went back to Arabia with useing jinnee of the lamp. From that day, Aladdin and Badr-al-Budur lived happily in thier palace.They lived for many years, and had many children.( 1389 words )
