The Story of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp 17137Words 2018-03-22
According to legend, in ancient times, in a certain city in the west of China, there lived a poor family who was sewing as a profession. The male owner was named Mustafa. Aladdin is playful by nature, he idles around, never learns well, and is an out-and-out little naughty ghost. The old couple wholeheartedly hoped that their son would learn sewing so that he could inherit his father's business in the future and make a living from it.Because of their poor family, there is no extra money for Aladdin to study or apprentice, let alone let him do business. However, Aladdin was playful, never willing to stay in the shop and sew in peace, always went out to hang out with the poor and naughty children in the area, and never went home all day long.Aladdin has become accustomed to this, and neither persuasion nor whipping will work.He neither listened to his parents, learned sewing well to inherit his father's business, nor learned the skills of running a business, so he just muddled around day by day.His parents thought his future was really dire and worrying.

Seeing his son's unproductive behavior, Mustafa was greatly disappointed, filled with grief and indignation. When Aladdin was ten years old, his father died of depression.Aladdin not only did not feel guilty because of his father's death, and changed his lazy and dissolute character, but thought that once his father died, he would no longer be subject to strict restraint and discipline, so he became more unruly, lazy and depraved, and continued to live a dissolute life. His mother saw that her son was incompetent and had no hope at all. She felt that the future was bleak, so she had no choice but to sell all the things in the tailor's shop and start spinning yarn as a career.Poor and unfortunate mother, who works from dawn to dusk, earns her living by spinning, and supports her naughty son who is not doing his job properly.In this way, he was pulled until he was fifteen years old.

On this day, as usual, Aladdin was playing boringly with a group of kids in the area who were just like him, when a foreigner who came from afar and looked like a monk came to them. Standing aside, he looked at the group of children thoughtfully.Later his attention was focused on Aladdin.He stared at Aladdin carefully, observed and studied Aladdin carefully.At last he thought to himself, "Oh, he's just the kid I need." It turned out that this person came here after a long journey from Morocco, Africa.He is a Moorish man who specializes in magic, is proficient in magic, and is good at astrology.For a long time, he has been tirelessly studying this kind of crooked ways, and has reached the point of proficiency, and finally became a veritable magician.Now, he did not hesitate to leave his hometown and travel here without fear of hardships and dangers. Of course, he had a purpose.

The magician took a child from among them to the side, and after asking him about Aladdin's situation, he walked up to Aladdin, pulled him and said: "My son, you must be the son of Mustafa the tailor?" "That's right. My father died five years ago, though." When the magician heard the news, he rushed to Aladdin, put his arms around his neck, kissed him, and wept, with a look of grief and pity. Aladdin was bewildered by this stranger's behavior, and he asked in surprise: "Master, why are you crying?" "My child," said the magician with a trembling voice, "you may not know that I am your uncle, and your father is my half brother. I have been wandering abroad for a long time, and now I have returned from a far away place. , with a joyful heart and full of expectations, I want to meet your father to get rid of the longing that has been stagnant in my heart for many years, but I never thought that what I heard today was the sad news of his death. Will it not make me cry? Then again, I can recognize you as my nephew in this group of children at a glance, which means that you have the blood of your father, that is, our family. Although I parted from your father At that time, he was not yet married. I have been wandering for a long time, and I have been looking forward to seeing him. However, our brothers are far away from each other, and this long-cherished wish has always been difficult to achieve. I didn’t expect your father to go away before me now. How could it not make me so disappointed and heartbroken!"

He hugged Aladdin in his arms again, and continued to say, "Fortunately, your father left you for our family. My dear nephew! I'm already half buried, so, Our family can only rely on you to pass it down." As the magician spoke, he reached out for his purse, took out ten gold coins and handed them to Aladdin, asking, "My dear nephew, where do you and your mother live now?" Aladdin showed the magician where his house was. The magician said: "Dear nephew, go back quickly, give the money to your mother, and say hello to her for me, and tell her that you have seen me and that I will visit her at your house tomorrow."

After Aladdin broke up with the magician, he broke the convention and went home before it was time for dinner for the first time. Before he reached the door, he shouted excitedly: "Mother, I have the good news for you. I am here today. I met my uncle who has been wandering for many years. He also asked me to greet you and said that he would come to visit you some other day." "Son! I think you have probably developed the bad habit of lying and deceiving people again. Otherwise, how could you find an uncle?" "Mother, what are you talking about! On the street just now, I did meet an old man who was about the same age as my father. He recognized me from the crowd and said that he was my father's elder brother. Really, he Not only hugged me and kissed me, but sent me to greet you with tears."

"Son! As far as I know, you belonged to an uncle, but he has long since passed away. How could another uncle come out?" After hearing what his mother said, Aladdin was dubious and at a loss. After the magician broke up with Aladdin, he finally survived the night.Early the next morning, he hurried out to look for Aladdin.As long as he didn't see this child, he felt uneasy.Looking around, he saw that he was with those naughty children again, so he hurried forward, pulled him to his side, embraced him kindly, then handed him two gold coins, and said: "Go home and tell your mother that I'm going to your house for dinner, but before that, you have to take me to see the route to your house."

"Okay, come with me." Aladdin readily agreed, and then led the magician on the way home, pointing out to him as he walked, and they parted ways when they reached the front of the house. Aladdin ran home in one breath, handed two gold coins to his mother, and said excitedly: "Mother, uncle is coming to my house for dinner today, and this is the money he gave you to cook." Aladdin's mother was very happy, went to the market to buy all kinds of food, and borrowed cups, plates and bowls from the neighbors, and then began to cook carefully.When the food was ready, she told Aladdin: "I'm afraid your uncle doesn't know where our family lives. You might as well go out and wait for him. When you see him, bring him here."

"Okay! I'll go right away." After hearing what his mother said, Aladdin was about to go out to pick up the guests when he heard a knock on the door.He hurried out to open the door and saw the magician and another servant carrying wine, cakes and fruits standing at the door.Aladdin greeted them with joy. The magician brought the servant into the house, asked the servant to put down the gift, and sent him away. Then he had a weeping greeting with Aladdin's mother, and then he suddenly asked: "Where did my brother always get up when he was alive?" sit?" Aladdin's mother pointed to a long chair on the side, and the magician walked over immediately, fell on the ground, kissed the floor and prayed to himself, and said in tears: "My good brother! I will part with you forever, even The wish of seeing each other for the last time can’t be fulfilled, could it be because of my bad luck?” He complained and sobbed, sobbing, this situation, even a hard-hearted person would be moved to tears.

Aladdin's mother was fascinated by the vivid emotion he displayed, and half believed in her heart that this man might really be Aladdin's uncle.So she went forward, helped the magician up from the ground, and comforted her: "Death is like a lamp going out. Even if you die crying, you can't bring Musta back to life. Don't be so sad." While comforting the magician with kind words, she invited him to sit down and entertained him graciously. Sitting in front of the table, the magician gradually controlled his emotions. When he had regained his composure, he spoke to Aladdin's mother, and said: "My sister-in-law! You probably know nothing about me, which is no wonder, since it was forty years since I parted from Mustafa. Years ago, I left this city and started living a wandering life. I passed through India, Sindh, and came to Egypt, a world-renowned ancient civilization, and stayed there for a long time. Finally, I After leaving there, I continued to travel to the far west of Africa and settled down in Morocco for thirty years. Because Mustafa and I could not communicate with each other, he may have thought that I was no longer alive.

One day, I was sitting alone at home, and suddenly felt extremely lonely and lonely. I thought of my hometown and my flesh and blood brother for a while, and I didn't know what was going on with him now.With these associations, I became more and more unable to control my desire to go back to my hometown and reunite with my loved ones.I looked at myself and felt sorry for myself, thinking that I was far away from my hometown and relatives, living alone in a foreign land, and couldn't help crying bitterly.Afterwards, after some consideration, I resolved that, whatever the odds and dangers, I would go home and look forward to seeing my brother again.So I said to myself: 'You can no longer leave your country and live like a nomadic Arab.You should set off immediately to go back to your hometown while you are alive, and meet your brother again.Because of the cruelty of the world, there is no certain day when I will die in a foreign country, and it will be too late to regret at that time.Besides, you are quite rich now, if your brother is in distress, you should help him; if he is rich, he should also go to congratulate him. 'Thinking of this, I couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately started to prepare for the departure.After everything was ready, it coincided with the Friday rest day, and I set off.Along the way, I experienced untold hardships and suffered all kinds of hardships. Thanks to God's blessing, I finally returned to my hometown safely.Once here, I'll look around to find out where you are.Yesterday, I accidentally ran into my nephew Aladdin playing with some children. Due to the natural blood relationship, when I saw him, I knew intuitively that he was my nephew.Therefore, the moment I saw him, my fatigue and inner distress were instantly eliminated, but when I learned that my brother had passed away, I suddenly felt infinite grief and sadness.I believe Aladdin has told you about the situation at that time.I was very sad that I was unable to meet my brother when I came back this time, but the only thing that gave me solace was that Mustafa left the only offspring for his family. " After the magician finished speaking, he turned his attention to Aladdin. Through observation, he found that his words had deeply moved Aladdin's mother.The magician gave her these comforts in order to prevent her from mentioning her husband's life, so as to successfully implement his deception plan.So he asked Aladdin: "My child, what do you do now as a profession? Can you support yourself and your mother with your own ability and ability?" Aladdin was speechless and bowed his head in embarrassment for a moment. At this time, his mother couldn't wait to say: "The truth is not what you imagine. I swear to God, he is an ignorant child. He idles around all day, kills time, hangs out with those naughty and rascal children, and makes his father I became sick with grief and anger, and died of depression. Now my own situation is also very miserable. I toil all day long, engaged in spinning, and keep my hands on the spinning rod day and night. With this, I earn a few breads a day, and the mother and son can live. Aladdin Every day except for meal time, I never come home to see me. To be honest, I am planning to lock the door and prevent him from entering the house, so that he can find a way out and support himself. Because I am old and have no energy Recession, it's getting harder to do this kind of work. It's not going to be easy to continue like this." The magician listened to Aladdin's mother's words from the heart, pretended to be sympathetic, and said to Aladdin: "My child, you have always behaved badly. For a young man like you who was born in an honest and upright family , you shouldn't be fed by an old and frail person like your mother. Don't you feel ashamed and disgraceful now that you are no longer young? My child, look around you. People work hard on their own. Bread and bread with your hands. You are old enough to learn to master a trade, and I promise you my support. When you graduate, my boy, you will be able to earn a living. If you If you don't like your father's sewing skills, you can choose the one you think is ideal to learn. What do you think? Tell me, my child, that my uncle will help you with all my strength. " After the magician spent a lot of time talking, seeing that Aladdin was still indifferent and silent, he felt that this child was lazy by nature and only wanted to live a life of wandering. Said: "Son, do you understand what I mean? If you don't like to learn crafts, then I can open a shop for you and prepare all kinds of expensive and luxurious goods for you to operate. Master the ability to make money by buying cheap and selling expensive in the trading field, and become a well-known merchant in the city in the future." Aladdin was moved by the words that he could become a famous businessman.Because he knows that famous businessmen have status, status, eat well, and dress well.He looked up at the magician, pursed his lips and smiled, then lowered his head to show a satisfied expression. The magician observed carefully, and seeing the smile on Aladdin's face, he knew that he was moved by the business, so he took advantage of the situation to lure him and said: "My child, it seems that you are willing to do business, which proves that you are not useless." People can achieve great things, but they suffer from lack of opportunities. Now I will open a shop for you, so that you can become a person with reputation and status in the business world in the near future. Tomorrow, I will take you to the market and give you Buy a set of suits specially made for wealthy businessmen, dress you up, and then start preparing to open a shop, so as to fulfill my promise." At first, Aladdin's mother was suspicious of the Moroccan man who claimed to be her husband's elder brother. After hearing that he promised to pay for her son to buy goods and open a shop, the doubts in her heart disappeared immediately.She has completely believed that this person is indeed her husband's elder brother, otherwise, a foreigner who is not related to him would never do such a good thing for her son.So she persuaded her son to go back to the right path, change his bad habits of laziness and playfulness, and aspire to be a well-behaved and self-reliant person, especially to follow the example of his capable uncle, treat him as his own father, and listen to him carefully , and taught him to make up for the time he had lost with idle naughty boys. Aladdin's mother taught her son this lesson, then set the table, brought out the food, asked the magician to sit at the head, and the mother and son accompanied him for dinner. While eating and drinking, the magician talked to Aladdin about doing business.Aladdin was fascinated by his talk, his face glowed with excitement, and he couldn't sleep. When the magician saw that his words had yielded results, he began to chew with relish and relish. He drank to his heart's content, until he was so drunk that his eyes were hazy, and he didn't get up until late at night to leave.Before leaving, he asked again: "I will come tomorrow morning and take Aladdin to buy clothes for the merchants, and follow the plan." In the early morning of the next day, the magician came to Aladdin's house as promised. He did not enter the house, but stood at the door waiting for Aladdin to pack up, and then led him to the market.In a clothing store, he pointed to the clothes and said to Aladdin: "My child, what style do you like, choose it yourself." After listening to his uncle's words, Aladdin happily chose a beautiful dress. The magician paid for him and took Aladdin to the bathhouse to take a bath.Aladdin put on his new clothes and expressed his thanks to his uncle excitedly. After leaving the bathhouse, the magician took Aladdin to the market again.The two walked around the market happily.The magician took him and said to him while watching the lively trading scenes: "My child, you have to get acquainted with these people in the future, and learn the skills of buying and selling from them through observation, so as to enrich yourself in this respect." Experience and mastery of business skills. You know, what they are doing now may be your own career. " After visiting the market, the magician took Aladdin to visit the places of interest in the city, and said to him: "By visiting these magical buildings, you can continuously increase your knowledge, enrich your experience, and make yourself mature as soon as possible." .” The purpose of the magician taking Aladdin to the entertainment venues to have fun is to open his eyes and make him firm in his determination to become a well-informed and wealthy businessman, so that he will be obedient and not change his mind at any time. Finally, the magician brought Aladdin to his residence—a large hotel specially opened for foreign businessmen, and invited businessmen from all walks of life to meet him. They had dinner together, and he declared Aladdin in front of everyone. Latin is his nephew. When it was getting dark, the merchants had enough to eat and drink, and parted happily.The magician then sent Aladdin home. Aladdin's mother couldn't believe her eyes when she saw that her son was wearing beautiful clothes and his appearance was completely changed. Tears welled up in his eyes.She thanked the magician with gratitude: "My good brother, you have cared for this child like a biological father. My gratitude cannot be expressed in thousands of words. I will never forget your kindness to our mother and son." .” "Sister-in-law! This is just my wish, and it is not worth mentioning, because this child is my own son. It is my duty to raise and educate my brother's child. My sister-in-law does not have to Sorry about that.” "God bless, my brother will live a long life! From now on, Aladdin will live a happy life under your protection. I think he will listen to you." "Sister-in-law! Aladdin was born in a kind family, and his nature is good. As long as we guide him well, under the blessing of God, I believe he can follow in his father's footsteps and resolve to behave himself, so as to comfort his father's spirit in heaven. My sister-in-law's hope for a son Jackie Chan has something to hope for. Tomorrow happens to be a Friday off day, and the business community is closed. Therefore, I plan to take Aladdin to a park outside the city. Because there, he can meet with those rich businessmen and celebrities, borrow This will increase his knowledge and lay a solid foundation for future business, which will be beneficial to him." After the magician gave his instructions, he left and went back to the hotel to rest. Aladdin put on new clothes, went to the bathhouse, ate restaurants, visited markets and places of interest, and met many businessmen in one day. His joy and happiness are indescribable.Thinking of his uncle taking him out of the city to play tomorrow morning, he was so excited that he didn't close his eyes all night. The next morning, when Aladdin heard a knock on the door, he knew that his uncle had come.Yi Gulu got up from the bed and opened the door to greet him. When the magician saw Aladdin, he hugged him tightly, took his hand kindly and said, "Nephew! Today I will take you to a wonderful place, which will open your eyes." He also said The nice words made Aladdin very excited.Just like that, the two talked and laughed and left the house and walked out of the city.In order to make Aladdin extra happy, the magician took him around for a tour, introduced various places of interest to him endlessly, and took him for a walk in the beautiful park. Aladdin has always been intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of nature. While watching it with great interest, he chatted and laughed with the magician. It wasn't until the magician reminded him that he should take a rest and eat something that he felt really hungry. .The magician unfastened his belt and opened the bag of food. Aladdin immediately ate hungrily, and the magician ate with him.They both ate and rested, immersed in pleasure and contentment all the time. After the magician saw that Aladdin had eaten, drank, and rested, he said, "Nephew, it's almost rested now. According to the arrangement, we should continue to move forward until we reach our final destination." Aladdin stood up after listening to his uncle's words, and continued to move forward with the magician.They kept walking, passed through one garden after another, farther and farther, and they didn't know how long they walked until they came to the foot of a towering mountain. Aladdin, a child who is not too young, has never left the city. So far, he has never walked as much as today, so he felt a little strenuous, so he complained to the magician, saying: "Uncle , where are we going? We have been out for almost a day, and now we have come to this deserted and lonely place. If there is still a long way to go, I can't bear it, and it seems that there is nothing else to visit in front of us. It's better to leave here as soon as possible and go home." "No, my child, we can't go back yet. We didn't go wrong. It's a pity to give up halfway now. Because what we are going to do today is not for the purpose of visiting the garden, but an earth-shattering undertaking. The career of any emperor is by no means comparable to it. What you see and hear is nothing compared to it. So I hope you can muster up the courage to continue walking with me, and use your actions to prove that you have grown up It’s too old.” The magician patiently reasoned with him, comforted him with words, and told him some weird stories to relieve his fatigue from walking.Using this trick, the magician led Aladdin straight to the destination. This is the ultimate goal of this West African magician who traveled far and wide, from the west at sunset to China at sunrise, almost traveling half the world. The magician brought Aladdin to his destination, and he was very happy, because his plan was about to come true.In order not to make any more mistakes, he continued to comfort Aladdin: "Okay, nephew, we have reached our destination. Now sit down and rest for a while, something wonderful will happen later. This kind of It's a wonderful sight, only you and I are lucky enough to see it. But I still need to trouble you to rest for a while, pick up some sawdust and dry branches for me, and pile them together, let me light them, and you will understand the mystery of it, and complete the purpose of our trip. " Aladdin listened to the magician's instructions and was eager to see what his uncle was going to do, so he felt less tired. After resting for a while, he stood up, followed the magician's instructions, and began to look for pieces of wood and dry branches. He didn't bring the wood chips and branches to the magician until he heard his uncle call him. While lighting the branches, the magician took out a fancy little box from his breast pocket, took out some frankincense from it, sprinkled it in the flames, and whispered a spell against the green smoke that came out.What he was reading, Aladdin could not understand a word. At this moment, the earth shrouded in thick smoke suddenly shook, and with a loud thunderbolt, the ground cracked open. Seeing this horrible scene, Aladdin was taken aback and prepared to run away from the disaster. The magician was furious when he saw his actions.If the kid is allowed to go, his whole plan will fail, because the secret underground treasure he is determined to steal cannot be opened by anyone but Aladdin.So as soon as he realized that Aladdin was going to run away, he raised his hand, and slapped him so hard on the head that he was so dizzy that he fell unconscious with pain. When Aladdin woke up slowly and saw the magician standing beside him, he couldn't help crying because of the pain and grievance, and said: "Uncle, what did I do wrong to be punished like this? " "My child, I wholeheartedly want to train you to become a talent. Why are you so unbelievable? Why do you still go against my will?" The magician pretended to be kind and loving, and comforted Aladdin, "I am your uncle. , it can also be said to be your biological father, and you should do what your father ordered. Doing so will be good for you, and you don't need to worry and fear at all. " At this time, a rectangular piece of marble with a copper ring tied in the middle gradually emerged from the split.Facing the marble, the magician took a divination from the sand, then turned to Aladdin, and said, "My child, what I want you to do is very simple. If you do it, then you will become king in no time." You are a wealthy person. But you tried to run away. For your stupid behavior, I had to beat you. Let me tell you, there is a treasure house buried under this marble slab, and the treasure inside is in your name It is up to you to decide whether to take out the treasures that have been stored. I just prayed for the opening of this treasure house. My child, now listen carefully, go down now, hold the copper ring in the middle of the stone slab, and take the stone slab Lift it up, for it is yours to do, and no one else can do it. When the slab is lifted, you are to go in. Before I go in, I must tell you what you must pay attention to, and you must do as I tell you. To do it, you must not be negligent, let alone go against me. You must know, my child, that in this treasury specially prepared for you, there are rich treasures, even the wealth accumulated by emperors cannot compare .You can't even imagine it. Of course, I also have a share of the treasures here." After hearing what the magician said, Aladdin immediately forgot about his fatigue and pain.Dazed as he was, he stared blankly at the magician, but at the same time he was very happy that fate would soon make him rich.So sincerely said to the magician: "Uncle, since this is the case, then just tell me, I will do as you say." "Nephew, in my heart, you are closer than my own son. Because now I have no other relatives except you. That is to say, you are also my heir." He said , kissed Aladdin once, and then said: "Who am I working so hard for? You should be very clear by now that I did all this for you. Please believe that you will become the richest and greatest person immediately Yes. Well, now go over quickly, hold the brass ring, and lift the stone slab." "Uncle, that stone slab is too heavy. I'm afraid I can't handle it by myself. How about it, let's work together to uncover it." "No, my nephew, it would be self-defeating to do so. Didn't I tell you just now that this treasure is not to be touched by anyone but you. Don't worry, just hold the copper ring and peel off the stone slab. It will open automatically. But when you take it off, you have to keep calling yourself and your parents’ names. Try it, the slate is easy to take off, and you don’t need to use much strength.” According to his uncle's instructions, Aladdin tightened his belt, walked to the stone slab, stretched out his hand to hold the copper ring, and called his own and his parents' names while lifting the slate.Unexpectedly, it was opened without any effort.When he saw it, it turned out that what the stone slabs covered was a tunnel entrance, with twelve steps leading to the ground. At this time, the magician hurriedly reminded Aladdin, saying: "My child, you must concentrate and do what I tell you. Now you step into the cave and walk down the steps carefully. When you reach the bottom floor, There were many houses there, and in each house were four jars of gold or silver, and although they contained priceless jewels, you must not touch them, and do not let yourself touch anything. Just go on, don't stop Come down, otherwise it will immediately turn into a black stone. When you reach the fourth house, you will find a closed door in the house. You have to call your own and your parents’ names to open it as you did when you opened the stone slab. It, then you can enter a garden, and as before, you don't care about the fruit trees bearing all kinds of strange and colorful fruits, just go down the passage in the middle. About fifty paces away, there is a beautiful room. A magnificent hall. There is an oil lamp hanging from the ceiling of the hall, and there is also a ladder with thirty steps in the hall. You go up the ladder, take down the oil lamp, pour out the oil in the lamp, and put it on your chest Once the lamp is in your hands, all the treasures in the treasure will be yours." After the magician instructed, he took off a ring from his hand, put it on Aladdin's index finger, and continued: "My child, let me tell you, this ring protects you from any danger and terror, so you don't have to worry about it, but you must firmly remember everything I have told you. Well, take courage, hurry up Go down. Now that you are a man, don't be afraid like a child. When you come back victorious, my child, you will win a great fortune and become the richest man in the world." According to the magician's instructions, Aladdin entered the cave and walked down the steps quickly. After entering the tunnel, he carefully passed the four houses where the gold and silver jars were placed, came to the garden, and then walked along the passage until he entered the garden. into a magnificent hall, climbed up the ladder, took down the oil lamp hanging from the ceiling, blew it out, poured out the oil in the lamp, put it in his breast pocket, then went down the ladder and exited the hall, Go back to the garden. At this time, Aladdin's mood relaxed a lot, and he was no longer as nervous and timid as when he came in.He strolled through the garden leisurely, admiring the wonderful scenery in the garden.When he saw the attractive and brilliant gemstone fruits on the branches, he was really moved.I saw that the gemstone fruits all emitted brilliant and dazzling rays of light, and each gemstone fruit was so large that even the gemstones owned by the emperors could not compare with it. But Aladdin was still a child after all, not deeply involved in the world, inexperienced, and he didn't know the value of these precious jewels and jade except that they were new and strange.In his opinion, these jewels and jade are just products like glass.I even regret that these fruits are inedible, but I still plan to treat these things as rare items and try to collect as many as possible to take away.He said to himself: "I want to pick some glass fruits and bring them home to play." He picked many kinds of fruits, and besides filling every pocket, he also unwrapped his scarf and wrapped it around his waist.He only regards these things as decorations, and has no other intentions at all. Aladdin did not dare to stay any longer, fearing that he would be reprimanded by his magician uncle for not returning home.So he left the garden in a hurry, followed the route he came in, and ran to the entrance of the tunnel in one breath.When he walked up the steps and reached the top step, he found that this step was higher than the rest. Because he had too many jewels and fruits on his body, he could not climb it alone. So he stretched out his hand and said to the magician: "Uncle, give me a hand, I can't step on it." "My child, you pass me the oil lamp first, which will lighten your burden. I see that you are carrying a heavy load, and you seem to have carried a lot of things." "No, uncle! The things I'm carrying are not heavy, but the steps are too high. Hold out your hand, help me, pull me out, and I'll give you the oil lamp." When the magician heard this, he became anxious and had a fierce look on his face. It turned out that he traveled thousands of miles and worked tirelessly from Morocco to China. His only purpose was to possess this oil lamp. He helped Aladdin and brought him here to achieve this purpose.Aladdin didn't know all this. The reason why he didn't give the magic lamp to the magician immediately was because the magic lamp was hidden at the bottom and it was inconvenient to take it out.In fact, he made up his mind to hand over the magic lamp to the magician as soon as he came out of the cave, and had no intention of taking the magic lamp for himself.But the magician mistakenly thought that Aladdin was aware of his intention and was unwilling to hand over the magic lamp to him.When he repeatedly asked Aladdin for the magic lamp to no avail, he cursed and quarreled furiously. At this time, the magician lost his mind due to anxiety and anger, thinking that the magic lamp was about to be possessed by someone else, so he was overwhelmed, simply recited a spell, sprinkled frankincense into the air, and retaliated viciously.Due to the magical power of the incantation, the stone slab beside him shook and slowly slid to the mouth of the tunnel, returning to its original appearance and becoming the cover of the tunnel. Aladdin was thus buried in the tunnel of the treasury. It turned out that the magician was a Moor who was born and raised in West Africa. He was obsessed with witchcraft since he was a child. The expert in the world has reached the pinnacle. One day, the magician learned from the magic book that there is a huge treasure at the foot of a mountain called Kallas in China based on the induction of magic power. The wealth is extremely rich, and the most valuable and wonderful treasure is the lamp. An ordinary magical lamp on the surface.因为谁拥有了那盏灯,便可成为不可战胜的万能者,无论地位、财富、权力各方面都将天下第一。就是人世间威望最高、权力最大、财富最多的帝王,其威力跟神灯的魔力比较,也只不过是小巫见大巫罢了。 魔法师根据他的巫术知识,深知那个宝藏只能由出生在当地某贫民家,名叫阿拉丁的孩子开启。于是,他仔细研究开启宝藏的步骤,希望能按自己的意愿顺利进行,不出任何问题地达到目的。一切都准备妥当后,他收拾行装,动身作中国之行。他马不停蹄地连续跋涉,终于来到中国,找到阿拉丁,对他施行骗术。 魔法师按照计划做了一切,以为能够获得神灯,成为神灯的主人,可是他万万没有料到,他经过长时间的精心策划和准备,艰难的奔走和跋涉后,在眼看就要成功的最后关头,受到了挫折,到头来只是竹篮打水一场空。因此,在绝望、愤怒之下,他决心置阿拉丁于死地。于是他施展魔法,把阿拉丁埋在地道里,让他慢慢死去,他认为采取这个措施,阿拉丁就出不了地道,神灯也就不可能被带出宝库,这样,他将来还有机会来实现其目的。 魔法师像做了一场白日梦,垂头丧气地离开中国,返回非洲老家去了。 阿拉丁被埋在地道里,大声呼唤魔法师,抱着最后一线希望求他伸手拉他一把,让他离开地道,回到地面上,但是不管他怎么嘶声力竭地呼喊、哀求,都始终得不到回答。这时候,阿拉丁才逐渐醒悟了,慢慢意识到此人不是自己的伯父,而是一个怀有罪恶目的、惯于撒谎骗人的妖道。 当感到没有摆脱危机的办法,没有活命的希望时,他苦恼极了,忍不住伤心哭泣起来。 没办法,只得又沿台阶走去,指望老天爷给他一条出路,减轻自己的痛苦。由于魔法师用魔法将宝库中的各道门路全都封起来了,他只得在伸手不见五指的黑暗中摸索着。一会儿左,一会儿右,当然最终毫无结果。他知道生路已经断绝,在恐惧和悲哀中,除了嚎啕大哭外,没有别的办法。 最后,他一屁股坐在地上等待死神降临。 但是,天无绝人之路。在阿拉丁还未遇险被困的时候,老天爷已为他安排好一条绝处逢生之路。 阿拉丁在黑暗中也不知哭了多久,在活又活不成,死又死不了的情况下,不由自主地搓着自己的手。在搓手的过程中,他无意间擦着了戴在手指上的戒指,瞬间,一个威风凛凛的巨神出现在他面前,并用洪亮的声音向他说道: “禀告主人,奴婢奉命前来听候吩咐,你需要我做什么?” 原来,在阿拉丁准备进入宝库时,魔法师曾给了他一枚戒指作为护身符,并对他说: “无论你遇到什么危险,这个戒指都能保你平安,能给你胆量和勇气。”这一切原来是老天爷在冥冥中借魔法师的手来保护阿拉丁的生命,以使他摆脱危险的巧妙安排。 阿拉丁听到说话声,仔细打量,才看清他面前站着一个魁梧的巨神,形貌酷似传说中所罗门大帝时代的妖魔。面对这可怕的巨神,他吓得魂不守舍,浑身发抖,一句话也说不出来。 巨神见此情境赶忙又对他说:“不用怕,你需要什么?只管告诉我。如今我是你的仆人了。可能你还不清楚,戴在你手指上的这个戒指,是我的主人。现在你既然拥有它,实际上你就是我的主人了,我就该听你的命令。” 阿拉丁听了巨神的解释,知道没有危险后,神色才逐渐恢复,心情也慢慢平静下来,同时想起魔法师给他戴戒指时嘱咐的话,便心里有数,马上勇气十足,高兴地说: “戒指的仆人啊!我要你把我带到地面上去。” 阿拉丁刚说完这句话,大地突然裂开,他还没明白是怎么回事,自己便已经在地面上了。 由于他呆在暗无天日的地道中已整整三天,一下子不适应夺目的阳光,不能睁眼看东西,只好试着把眼皮慢慢微睁,直到眼球对强烈的光线有所适应了,才张开眼看周围的情况。 此时他的心情格外舒畅,同时又觉得惊奇诧异。他与魔法师开启的地下宝库的门道已经无影无踪,而且周围的地面平坦,完全没有任何变化,所有的痕迹都不存在了。眼前的情景,使他茫然不知身处何处。后来经过一番思索、观察,他终于明白:原来此地就是当初魔法师焚香、念咒语的那个地方,于是恍然大悟,确信自己还没离开原来的老地方。 他朝远处张望一阵,并能隐约辩论出那些景象和走过的道路。当初他已觉得自己已无生路,但转眼间,即重新回到大地上,因此,他对老天爷给予的这一切感激不尽。阿拉丁带着劫后余生的幸福心情离开那里,一个人在回城的途中跋涉。沿途的情景,依然跟来时一样,并不陌生。他一口气回到城中,径直向家奔去。由于死里逃生而欢喜过度,也由于受到的惊吓、磨难太多和饥渴的时间太长,当他来到母亲跟前时,终于支持不住,昏倒在地,不省人事。 阿拉丁的母亲从儿子离家的那天起,便惴惴不安。 由于孩子几天不归,她感到有些可怕,终日里长吁短叹,悲哀哭泣,在以泪洗面的日子中痛苦地煎熬。当看见阿拉丁归来时,她喜出望外,乐不可支,却想不到儿子突然昏倒。她颇为惊慌,赶忙起身急救,拿水洒在他脸上,向邻居找香料熏他,这才使他恢复了知觉。 阿拉丁慢慢苏醒过来后,顿觉腹中空空,于是他有气无力地对他母亲说: “娘,我感觉非常饿,我整整三天没吃没喝了。” 他母亲赶忙端来食物,说道:“儿啊!你现在什么也别想,快吃些东西,好好休息。至于发生了什么,以后再对我说吧。” 阿拉丁听了母亲的话,支撑着坐起来吃喝。当身心从极度疲倦中恢复过来后,才对母亲说道:“娘啊,我有满腹痛苦、冤屈要向你诉说。那个口口声声自称是我伯父的人,没想到竟是一个地地道道的大恶魔,为达到自己的罪恶目的,他用最卑鄙毒辣的手段,想致我于死地。如果不是老天保佑,咱母子怕是这辈子再见不着面了。” 接着阿拉丁一口气将他如何跟魔法师来到郊外,如何开启宝库洞口,获得神灯,又如何被害,以及最终逃出苦难的整个过程,细细地讲给母亲听了,最后他愤怒地说道:“原来我所依靠差完全信任的这个所谓的伯父,竟是一个笑里藏刀、十恶不赦的大魔鬼,但愿老天会无情地惩罚他。” 阿拉丁的母亲听了儿子的叙述,得知魔法师危害他的始末,气愤地说道:“孩子,正如你所说的,让老天无情地惩罚这个专搞异端邪说、利用巫术来害人的恶魔。幸亏老天保佑,你才没被他害死。这个坏蛋,当初我还真把他当作你的伯父了。” 由于阿拉丁在地道中几乎三天三夜没睡觉,因此他困倦得要命,唯一的愿望是能尽快休息。 母亲理解儿子的心情,便让他躺下好好睡一觉。 阿拉丁因疲劳过度以,睡得很香甜,一觉睡到第二天中午才醒过来。他一睁眼便向母亲要东西吃。他母亲有些为难地说:“儿啊!现在家里没有什么现存的食物。这样吧,你先耐心等一会,待我把纺好的棉纱拿到市上卖掉后,再给你买些吃的。” “娘,你纺的纱还是留下来,暂时别卖它。把我带回的那盏灯拿给我,让我拿去卖掉。 我相信油灯总比纱值钱些。 " 阿拉丁的母亲同意儿子的意见,把灯拿在手里,见灯有些脏,便对阿拉丁说:“儿啊! 灯拿来了,可是很脏,我先洗擦一下,弄干净些,这样会多卖几个钱。 " 于是她抓了一把沙土,刚擦了一下,一个巨神便出现在她面前。那巨神的形貌非常可怕,又高又大,简直是面目狰狞的凶神恶煞。他粗声粗气地对阿拉丁的母亲说: “我应命来了,你要我做什么?只管说吧。我是这盏灯的仆人,也是你的仆人,会不折不扣地按照你的命令行事的。” 突然出现在眼前的可怕形象,把阿拉丁的母亲吓得魂不附体,一句话也说不出口,当场就晕了过去。 阿拉丁一见他母亲这种情形,赶忙跑过来,把灯拿在自己手里,从容地和灯神交谈。因为他已经历过类似的情况。他在洞中所遇到的情形,与现在几乎是一样的,所以他一点也不畏惧,轻松自如地对眼前的巨神说: “灯神啊!你就给我弄些可口的食物吧。” 灯神听了阿拉丁的吩咐,转眼就不见了。 一会儿,灯神端来一席丰盛的饭菜,摆在一个精致名贵的银托盘中,总共十二种美味可口的菜肴。灯神摆好饭菜就匆匆隐去。 阿拉丁急忙抢救母亲,一边拿水洒在她脸上,一边用香熏她的鼻子,待她慢慢苏醒过来,他说道:“娘,老天爷可怜咱们,给我们送来了美味佳肴,你起来,咱们俩一起享用吧。” 阿拉丁的母亲看到那么讲究的银托盘、金杯碟和热气腾腾的丰富菜肴,十分惊奇、诧异,问道:“儿啊!这是怎么回事?谁如此慷慨,为我们送来这样丰富的食物?真不知该如何感谢他呀。” “娘,先别管这些,咱母子都快饿死了,快来一块儿吃吧。”他把母亲扶到席前,陪她一起吃喝。 由于长期挨饿,如今得到这样好的饭菜,母子俩食欲格外旺盛,饭量也比平时增加了许多。一方面是饥饿过度的缘故,另一方面是这样的珍馐美味,以及如此精美的器皿,他母子生平从没见过,更不用说吃过了。 阿拉丁母子吃饱喝足,但无论如何也吃不完。 他们剩下一些饭菜,留作晚饭,估计还够第二天食用。母子两人洗了手,坐下来,母亲这才想起刚才发生的事。她看了儿子一眼,说道:“儿啊!现在你告诉我刚才发生的一切吧。那个自称仆人的巨神是如何对待你的?感谢老天爷!他为咱们提供美好充足的饮食,往后我们的生活就有着落了,我们也不会为此事再发愁了。” 阿拉丁回答了母亲的问话,把她见灯神惊恐过度而昏倒时,他跟灯神打交道的经过,从头到尾叙述了一遍。 她听了,感到十分诧异,说道:“鬼神出现在人类面前的事,我只是听说过,但从没有亲身体验过,现在我相信这是事实了。儿啊!这个巨神是不是把你从地下宝藏中救出来的那个?” “不,娘,你所见的这个巨神不是出现在山洞中的那个,他是神灯的仆从。” “儿啊!你是凭什么这样肯定的?” “因为他们虽然都是巨神,但形貌却不一样。那个是戒指的仆从,而你所看到的这个,是你拿在手中的那盏灯的仆从。” “哦,我明白了,那个在我跟前一现身就不见了的,把我吓得半死的该诅咒的家伙,的确和这一盏灯有关系。” “不错,他属于神灯。” “儿啊!看在我养育你的情份上,听我一次话,把这盏灯和这个戒指扔掉吧。因为把这样的东西留在身边,往后会给咱们招引灾祸的。我不愿看到类似的事情再发生。况且跟妖魔鬼怪交往,是犯禁的行为。” “娘,按理我应照你所说的去做,但我却不能舍弃神灯和戒指。理由很简单,当我们最需要什么的时候,仆从为咱们所做的一切,你老人家已亲眼看到并亲自体会到。再说那个魔法师,他派我进宝库去,并不是为了获得黄金白银和其它任何价值连城的宝物。他一再嘱咐我,他所要获取的只有这盏神灯。这是他经过深思熟虑,仔细研究过的,他懂得其中的奥妙也深知这盏灯的价值,只不过还未证实它的作用罢了。他之所以忍受种种艰难困苦,不辞辛劳,长途跋涉,远离家乡,来到这里,其目的就是为了获取这盏神灯。因此,当他没有达到目的而感到绝望时,便恼羞成怒地把我给埋在地道中,想致我于死地。这一切充分说明,这盏灯的价值是无法估量的。由于它得之不易,因此无论如何必须留下它,并且要好生保护它,丝毫不能泄露它的秘密。咱们今后是要靠它过生活的,它会给我们带来富裕。至于说到这个戒指,它的作用也非常大,我要随时戴在手指上。你清楚,没有这个戒指,我不会活着回到你的身边,可能早已死在地下宝库的地道中了。如果我把这个戒指脱下来,万一时运不好,突然发生什么意外,或者一理灾难临头,而戒指又不在身边,那我就劫数难逃了。不过我非常理解你的顾虑,为尊重你的意见,我会把灯收藏起来。从今以后,绝不让类似的事情再在你眼前发生,以免你受惊。” 阿拉丁的母亲听了儿子的解释,明白了其中的道理,不再坚持自己的意见,于是她对阿拉丁说:“儿啊!你觉得怎么好就怎么做吧,娘不阻拦你。我只希望不再看见仆从的形貌和那恐怖的情景就行了。” 阿拉丁母子俩靠灯神拿来的食物过日子。 食物吃完时,阿拉丁准备拿一个盘子到集市去变卖,以换回食物,但他却不知盘子是纯金的。 阿拉丁在集市上,碰到一个卑鄙、贪婪的犹太人,鬼头鬼脑地纠缠着要买那个盘子。他把阿拉丁带到僻静的地方,仔细一再估量,最后确信盘子是纯金的名贵物品,所以决心收买。但是他不知阿拉丁是否识货,他估计,阿拉丁还只是一个毛孩子,也许根本不懂这些,于是便直接了当地对阿拉丁说: “我的小主人,这个盘子你打算卖多少钱?” “它的价值,你自然非常清楚。”阿拉丁没有直接回答犹太人。 这样的回答,似乎是行家的口吻,犹太人便不敢贸然行动。他本来打算只花几个小钱将盘子买下,但怕阿拉丁真懂盘子的价值,而使生意不能成交。最终他抱着侥幸心理暗想: “这孩子有可能是假充内行,不一定知道盘子的价值。” 他思索着从衣袋中掏出一枚金币。 阿拉丁看到他手中的金币,感到满意,立即把金币拿到手,然后转身匆匆走了。犹太人一眼看穿阿拉丁的无知和幼稚,相信实际上用不了一枚金币便可买到盘子。 阿拉丁卖了盘子,径直到面包店,买了面包,急忙回到家中,把面包和剩余的钱交给母亲。 “娘,还需要什么?你自己去买吧。” 阿拉丁的母亲拿着钱来到集市,挑选了一些日常必备的食物,满心欢喜地带回家,母子俩就这么一天一天过着日子。几天后,卖盘子的钱花光了,阿拉丁又拿一个卖给那个该诅咒的犹太人。每个金盘一枚金币,这已是够便宜的了,可是犹太人仍不满意,本来还想从中打折扣,但转念一想,认为由于上次没有把握好机会,用一枚金币买下了盘子,现在若不给这个数目,恐怕这个孩子会另找主顾,那就失去这种便宜的生意了,所以仍然只得照付一枚金币。 阿拉丁靠卖盘子过活,当把十二个金盘卖完后,就只得打那个摆在家中的银托盘的主意了。由于那个银托盘又大又沉,不便带往集市,所以他干脆带犹太商人到家中来看货,最后以十二枚金币的价钱把它卖给了犹太人。 就这样,阿拉丁母子过着丰衣足食的生活,需要什么就买什么,根本不用为钱发愁。眼看手中的钱又要花光了,阿拉丁这才趁母亲外出时,抓紧时间把神灯拿出来,擦了一下,灯神便像先前那样迅速出现在他面前。 “请吩咐吧,我的主人!你要我做什么呢?” “我要你袂按文茄鸵蛔婪共死础! 灯神应声隐去,转瞬间,又像前次那样,端来一个大托盘,盘中摆着十二个更精致的盘子,盘里盛满各式各样的菜肴,另外还增加了一些面包和几瓶醇酒。 不多一会,他母亲回到家中,看见大托盘中摆着的各种好菜,嗅到香味,心里感到欢喜,同时她知道这必是灯神所为,又觉得害怕。阿拉丁察觉到这种情景,说道:“娘,你现在应该知道这盏灯的好处了。当我们需要时,它不折不扣地满足我们的愿望,因此,我们无论如何都不应该放弃它。” “儿啊!我从心里感激这盏神灯,但愿老天爷多多赐福于它。但是我还是怕灯神在我面前出现,这一点你应该理解。” 阿拉丁和母亲坐在托盘面前,尽情享受这丰盛的饭菜,直至吃饱喝足。之后他们同样把剩余的饮食收存起来,留待下次食用。 又过了一天,阿拉丁见灯神送来的食品吃光了,知道又得出售盘子,于是他拿了一个盘子塞在衣服下面,径直去找那个犹太人,准备把盘子卖给他。可是说来也巧,他从一家古老的珠宝店门前经过时,被一个正直的珠宝商看见了,他叫住阿拉丁说: “我的孩子,屡次见你从这儿经过,去和那个犹太人打交道,好像在跟他做买卖,彼此都成老主顾了。今天你大概又是去找那个犹太人,也许要卖给他什么东西吧?能告诉我吗? 我的孩子,你要知道,那个犹太人可不是什么好人,而是一个奸诈的小人,一贯玩弄伎俩,贱买贵卖,牟取暴利,已经有很多善良之人在他那里吃亏了。见你和他打交道,我真怕你不明不白就上他的当了。我的孩子,如果你真有什么东西要出售,不妨先拿给我看看。你别害怕,我主要是怕你不懂市场行情,因此,打算替你估一下你的东西值多少钱。若你愿意,我会按公道价格购买,决不会叫你吃亏。 " 阿拉丁听了珠宝商的话,见他诚心诚意,便把盘子掏出来。商人接过去仔细打量,并在秤上称过重量,这才问道:“你卖给那个犹太人的盘子与这个是一套吧?” “是的,完全一样。” “他买下一个这样的盘子,付了多少钱呢?” "A gold coin." 珠宝店的老板听了回答,大吃一惊,骂道:“这个该死的犹太人,如此贪婪,竟用一枚金币的代价收买一个价值几十枚金币的金盘,这样欺骗孩子,真不怕天打雷劈呀!”接着他对阿拉丁说:“我的孩子,那是个诡计多端无恶不作的犹太人,你上了他的大当了。你手里的这些盘子是纯金的,按市场的行情,估计它最少值七十金币。如果你愿意,我打算以这个价格买下它,你看如何?” 他说完,见阿拉丁表示同意,于是数了七十个金币给他。 阿拉丁高兴地收下老板付给他的金币,对老板的公道与正直,表示了由衷的敬佩与感激,同时也认清了那个犹太奸商的丑恶嘴脸,不去上他的当,为此阿拉丁感到庆幸。他告别了珠宝店老板,带着轻松、愉快的心情回家去了。 阿拉丁母子俩虽然知道自己有花不完的钱,用不尽的物,但他们也毫不浪费,仍然过着节俭的生活,花钱办事很有分寸。因此,他们除了正常开支以外,还有大量剩余,钱财也越积越多。此时的阿拉丁已完全长成一个懂事的大人了。他改掉了少年时代的那种调皮捣蛋的坏毛病,断绝了与那些不三不四、游手好闲的人来往,选择那些正直诚实的人做朋友,同生意场中大小商人接触,在频繁往来中,不断地充实自己,努力学习经营的决窍,提高投资求利的本领。 他还经常接近珠宝商和金银首饰商,学会了鉴赏名贵珠宝玉器,他留心观察商人们经营生意的方式方法。他把一切记在心里。随着鉴赏水平的提高和经验、阅历的逐步增长,他已清楚地知道那些他从花园中摘来的几袋果实,并不是玻璃一类的东西,而是名贵稀罕的珠宝,价值连城。因此,他感到自己是比帝王还富裕的有钱人了。他暗自估量,认为他自己现有的珠宝,跟古玩店中的比起来,数量虽然只有四分之一,但是价值不知要高多少倍。因为市场上那些珠宝中体积最大的,也无法跟自己最小的相比,更不用说质量的高低了。
