Aladdin's Journey and Deception by a Wicked Magician

Aladdin, the son of a poor tailor, was a playful and spoiled boy who loved fun more than work. When his father Mustapha passed away, Aladdin struggled to support himself, and his mother had to work tirelessly to provide for them. Despite his shortcomings, Aladdin's mother believed he had a good heart and potential for success. One day, a stranger claiming to be his uncle approached Aladdin and placed a magical ring on his finger, promising protection. Unbeknownst to Aladdin, this man was a wicked magician who aimed to exploit him. The magician led Aladdin to a remote location between two mountains, where he performed a ritual, causing a trapdoor to appear. He instructed Aladdin to descend through a series of halls to a garden with a niche containing a lighted lamp. Aladdin was to extinguish the lamp, empty its oil, and bring it back. Aladdin agreed and followed the magician's instructions.
