When Aladdin climbed
into the cave, he couldn’t
believe his eyes! The cave
was full of treasure, just as
his uncle had said, so he
started filling his pockets
with as many diamonds
and rubies as possible. He also found a gold ring
which he immediately put
on his finger. Finally, he
found the lamp Mustafa
had asked for. He asked
his uncle to give him a
hand getting out of the
cave, but Mustafa told
him that he wanted to
see the lamp first.
Aladdin, who was suspicious of his
uncle, thought that Mustafa would
take the lamp and leave him, so the
boy refused to give him the lamp. Mustafa got angry, “Listen,
boy, I am not your real uncle
and I don’t care about you.
I will leave you here if I want!
Since you don’t want to give
me the lamp I will block the
cave with this huge rock,”
he shouted, and left
Aladdin inside.
