In the city of Baghdad, there lived a poor tailor named Mustafa and his wife. They had a son named Aladdin, who was a lazy but kind-hearted boy.
One day, a mysterious stranger appeared, claiming to be Aladdin's long-lost uncle. He promised to take Aladdin on a journey to find hidden treasure. Aladdin's mother was hesitant, but the stranger convinced her to let Aladdin go.
The stranger led Aladdin to a hidden cave, where he found a magic lamp. When Aladdin rubbed the lamp, a genie appeared, offering to grant him any wish.
Aladdin wished for wealth and riches, and the genie transported him to a magnificent palace. Aladdin became a prince and fell in love with the beautiful Princess Badroulbadour.
But the evil stranger, who was actually a sorcerer, discovered Aladdin's secret and stole the magic lamp. The sorcerer wished to become the Sultan, and the genie granted his wish.
Aladdin was heartbroken, but he didn't give up. With the help of the genie's wife, Aladdin outsmarted the sorcerer and reclaimed the magic lamp. The genie then granted Aladdin's wish to become the Sultan, and he lived happily ever after with Princess Badroulbadour.
