Aladdin and the Magic Lamp
Source
Oh no! The genie almost killed Aladdin!
No roc egg for the princess.
ON THE FORTY-FIRST NIGHT
Sheherazade said:
It seemed to Aladdin that Princess Badrou'l-Budour looked very distracted and preoccupied; and he asked her the cause of it, with much anxiety. Then Sett Badrou'l-Budour, all of a breath, said to him: "I will certainly die if I do not as soon as possible have an egg of the roc bird, which lives on the highest peak of Mount Caucasus!" And Aladdin, at these words, began to laugh and said: "By Allah, O my mistress Badrou'l-Budour, if it is only a question of having this egg to prevent you from dying, refresh your eyes! But just tell me, so that I know, what you mean to do with that bird's egg!" And Badrou'l-Boudour replied: "It is the holy old woman who has just prescribed the sight of it to me, as supremely effective in curing the sterility of women! And I want to have it to hang in the middle of the crystal vault of the hall with nine hundred and ninety-nine windows!" And Aladdin replied: "Upon my head and on my eyes, O my mistress Badrou'l-Budour! You're going to have that roc egg right now! »
He immediately left his wife and went to lock himself in his room. And he drew from his breast the magic lamp which he always carried with him, since the terrible danger which he had run by his negligence, and he rubbed it. And, at the same moment, appeared before him the genie of the lamp, ready to carry out his orders. And Aladdin said to him: "O excellent genie, who obeys me thanks to the virtues of your mistress the lamp, I ask you to bring me at once, to suspend it in the middle of the crystal vault, an egg of the gigantic roc bird, who lives on the highest peak of Mount Caucasus! »
Now scarcely had Aladdin uttered these words when the genie convulsed terribly, and his eyes blazed, and he gave in Aladdin's face a cry so frightful that the palace was shaken in its foundations and that Aladdin was thrown from it, like a sling stone, against the wall of the room and so violently that its length almost entered its width. And the genie, in his voice full of thunder, cried out to him: “Wretch human, what dare you to ask me? O most ungrateful of people of low status, now, despite all the services that I have rendered to you immediately, you dare to order me to go and fetch you the son of my supreme master, the Roc, to hang it on the roof of your palace! Do you not know, fool, that I and the lamp and all the genie servants of the lamp are the slaves of the great Roc, father of the eggs? Ah! you are lucky to be under the protection of my mistress, the lamp, and to wear on your finger this ring full of salutary virtues! Otherwise, your length would have already entered your width!" And Aladdin, motionless against the wall, said: “O genie of the lamp, by Allah! This request does not come from me, but it was suggested to my wife Badrou'l-Boudour by the holy old woman, mother of fertilization and healer of sterility!" Then the genie suddenly calmed down and resumed his usual tone towards Aladdin, and said to him: “Ah! I did not know! Ah! it's like that! it is therefore from this creature that the attack comes! You are very happy, Aladdin, to have nothing to do with it! Know, indeed, that it is your destruction and that of your wife and that of your palace that they wanted to obtain by this means! The person you call a holy old woman is neither a saint nor an old woman, but a man disguised as a woman. And this man is none other than the Maghrebi's brother, your exterminated enemy. And he looks like his brother like half a bean looks like his sister. And the proverb is true which says: The younger brother of the dog is more filthy than its elder, because the posterity of a dog always goes on bastardizing! And this new enemy, whom you did not know, is even more versed in magic and treachery than his older brother. And when he learned, by the operations of geomancy, that his brother had been exterminated by you and burned by order of the sultan, father of your wife Badrou'l-Budour, he resolved to avenge him on you and came here from the Maghreb, disguised as an old saint, to reach this palace. And he succeeds in entering it and suggesting to your wife this pernicious demand which is the greatest attempt against my supreme master, the Roc! So I warn you of his treacherous plans so that you can avoid them. Ouassalam!" And the genie, having thus spoken to Aladdin, disappeared.
Then Aladdin, on the verge of anger, hastened to go into the room with nine hundred and ninety-nine windows to find his wife Badrou'l-Budour. And, without revealing anything to her of what the genie had just taught him, he said to her: “O Badrou’l-Budour, my eyes! it is absolutely necessary, before bringing you the egg of the roc bird, that I hear with my own ears the holy old woman who prescribed this remedy for you. I beg you, therefore, to send for her with all diligence, and while I am here behind the curtain, to make her repeat his prescription, on the pretext that you no longer remember its exact content!" And Badrou'l-Budour answered: "On my head and my eye!" and immediately sent for the holy old woman.
Now, as soon as she entered the room with the crystal vault and, still veiled in her thick face veil, she approached Badrou'l-Boudour...

You won't believe me but I had the gut feeling that this lady is not good for Aladdin and his family who is pretending to be a noble lady and came to help the Aladdin and his wife to get the kid which they both want.
I have read this kind of story in my childhood, where there is someone who changed his/her appearance and that could be done with the magic. AS the Maghrabi and his family was magicians but some bad magicians, we can't expect good from them.
Maghrabi may have told his brother about the Lamp and may be this was his planned to changed the appearance of his brother to a noble girl and comes to the Princess , because girls are very easy to make fools , That's what this brother of maghrabi did and ask for that Egg.
Which was not possible for Genie to bring, he may knew that, by asking about this Egg, Genie might get angry and will kill the Aladdin, but Aladdin handled the situation and Told everything to the Genie, which calm him down.
Now Aladdin knows about everything, he have planned to meet this noble lady, which in real is a man , now Aladdin will revenge him for what he did. Glad to see Aladdin is safe and sound.
There are 4 or 5 episode are left in this story, will you start a new one ? Can we expect a happy ending or there are still some bad things are going to happen to Aladdin and his family specially to princess.
Yes.
Hahaha! (The genie almost killed Aladdin) I laughed loudly as I read this.
If you remember, I said yesterday that what the old woman is asking Aladdin's wife to do is not a concept in our religion of Islam, nor is it considered a science, and if I believe the thing is only to the extent of a story. I said this because both my heart and my mind both were not accepting that this could happen.
I also say the same, how can everything be fixed so quickly, I still laugh to think of what would have happened if jinn had killed Aladdin 😂. Anyway, The brother of the magician (Maghrabi) who is coming in the guise of this good woman has cleverly planned to do all this and has announced the revenge of Aladdin.
But now he does not know that Aladdin has come to know everything, jinn has told Aladdin everything about him. And Aladdin has shown great wisdom here too that he did not even tell his wife about him. Aladdin has also prepared a complete plan to catch this unfortunate and I am sure Aladdin will succeed in this.
But his story was very good because it had action, it had thrill, it had fun and in the way Aladdin told Jinn everything and he handled the difficult situation, he had the cleverness of Aladdin. Now it is to be seen how Aladdin catches that wretched person who is walking around happily in the guise of a good woman.
In my opinion, now Aladdin should find a permanent solution for the people who are coming in front of him one by one to take away the lamp from him and he can do this with the help of any jinn, for example, he can do all this very easily by calling any jinn as the keeper of his lamp.
Well now let's see what happens next and how Aladdin exposes the magician's brother who is this time disguised as a holy woman.
This part of the story reminds me of the wicked witch from Snow White who pretends to be an old lady who sells apples, only to kill Snow White. There is always this kind of deception, which uses magic to deceive people.
This evil magician only wants to avenge the death of his brother, knowing that telling this to the princess, she would tell her husband, he does everything possible to please his love, but without knowing that his evil plan was that the Genie de la Lampara will kill Alladin because for the genius this is one of the greatest insults, that asking for this request is like ending the genius himself.
The magician knew that with that he was going to kill Alladin, but now what he does not suspect is that Alladin knows the whole truth.
But this magician may be more cautious than his brother, he can't believe that the princess forgot the recipe she needed for her fertility.
Will the magician believe the word of the princess? or what new trap will this magician have
The magician twice exploited the weaknesses and shortcomings of the princess, using deceptive methods to achieve his goals.
Studies have shown that women are more likely to become victims of certain types of scams. This may be due to societal expectations, cultural backgrounds, levels of education and trust, and the influence of scams on social media and online communication platforms.
Regardless of gender, people should always be vigilant, protect their property and personal information, and not easily believe unreliable information and strangers, especially on the Internet.
You seem to be a smart guy, and you write very well in English. If you want to get more HIVE and increase your reputation, you should start to blog regularly in English, and I would follow you then.
Thank you for your compliment! I am well aware of my shortcomings and still have a lot to work on. Watching your stories every day is one way for me to learn and improve.
Today, after reading this story, I was thinking the same thing that even in the life of Alladin. Well, the one that comes out of it gets stuck in something else and the way this woman has come and it's behind the lamp. The princesses are also not understanding this at all, they just want this woman to continue doing what she is saying, Aladdin's, and to have a child in their house, but it will not happen like this, it will take a long time. And Allah Din loves the princess so much that he will do whatever she asks to do from there.
The way we all know that women are easy to drive crazy and quick to talk and the way this woman is acting like a princess but also a servant sent for the megician. The way we read that Aladdin's life was in great danger but still he handled the whole city and told everything to gennie which saved his life.
Every time something new comes into the story it becomes more interesting because in a way no one could have imagined this woman will come into the story and the same megician behind it. Megician is also trying his best to achieve this cruelty but as far as I think he will never achieve from there because his intention is not good that is to hurt people through it.
Now if Aladdin had not been wiser this time it could have been a lot of trouble for him but as we know he is wiser and has handled everything very well. Now Aladdin along with Jannie will find a permanent solution to all these people otherwise they will continue to haunt him the way they have now come back into his life.
In the end, there is a very interesting scene in the story and now the story is once again very interesting.
What treachery! I knew there was something suspicious about this new character, Fatmah. She pretended to be a frail, old and pious woman that helps people but it turns out, she's not so.
There are two shocking parts in this story! I was spellbound from the beginning of this chapter until I got to the part where Aladdin requests the genie to get him a roc's egg. I was shocked by the genie's change of attitude, from the meek and humble genie that usually bowed and said nice things whenever Aladdin releases him from the lamp to an angry, unrecognisable being that spewed out expletives! Who knew the genie could be this passionate about his master?
Also, we now know the roc bird is the master of genies so that's one wish that the genie can never fulfil. I'll say Aladdin is lucky to get this information from the genie or else he would have gotten into trouble with the genie and the roc.
The second shocking part - Fatmah is the Maghrebi's brother!!! 😳😅 I thought Aladdin was finally free from the Maghrebi and the next villain would probably be someone else. Alas, we remain in the Maghrebi's web of deception and hate. Fatimah is even more deceptive than the Maghrebi, pretending to be a pious old woman so Aladdin can get into trouble with a powerful, mythical bird!
One thing I've admired Aladdin for despite his immature beginning, he has a good head on his shoulders and able to think smartly and fast on his feet. I hope his plan to catch the old woman red-handed works. I'm looking forward to the next chapter with much anticipation! Thank you. 😊😊
Ah, the truth is out. The Genie of the Lamp also has the ability to grant a wish. Good thing the Genie knew what he was doing and he told the possible consequences of his wish.
Going back to the Roc Bird talk, so the Genie has a master too, that's interesting to know. This was not mentioned in the popular version of the story, which is why I was a little excited about this part of the story. Maybe the Roc bird is really so powerful that's why the Genie can't do anything about it. What does a Roc bird look like? I was curious that's why I searched for it on Google, the Roc looks really majestic. Based on artists' impressions it is a large bird; it is bigger than the elephant. Its dominant features look like an eagle and a hawk. His appearance is scary because he can pick up a big elephant.
I then remembered a mythical creature in the Harry Potter movie, that bird was called the Griffin. If there is a comparison between Roc and Griffin, Roc looks bigger and more powerful, amazing!!!
Let's get to the conversation about the so-called holy woman, she is fake! He is Maghrebi's brother. What the heck!? He seems that he is even more of a troublemaker compared to Maghrebi. It looks like Aladdin and the Princess are going to fight again.
They need to stay vigilant about what Fatmah will do against them. Fortunately, they got a tip from Genie about Fatmah's true personality and secret. Now it looks like Aladdin has the plan to face their enemy. What will he and Princess do to defeat Fatmah? That's what we'll find out in the next chapter, can't wait!
Another attempt at deception was tried on Aladdin, but lucky enough the Genie deciphered who was behind it and laid down the truth to his master. Now Aladdin will take action against Maghrebi's brother as he considers fit. A new challenge rises for him and the Princess and the question is only how will he surpass it. Only the next night will tell us...
It seems that the holy old woman that the Princess referred was actually a man in disguise, the brother of the Maghrebi whom Aladdin had exterminated. He resembles his brother and is more treacherous and knowledgeable in magic. He learned about his brother's death and came to seek revenge on Aladdin by disguising himself as an old saint and infiltrating the palace.
The proverb "the younger brother of the dog is more filthy than its elder" is quite true, and this new enemy is even more dangerous than his older brother.
Oh it seems that trouble is chasing our protagonist Aladdin. He not only can't have offspring that he almost falls into another magician's trap, the little brother of his enemy.
Although the genius has been angry, he has given Aladdin some very useful information.
What will our protagonist do with this new threat? And how will he please the princess that she is increasingly sad?
Aladdin's initial desire for wealth and influence reflects the common human desire for power and control over one's life and surroundings. However, the story suggests that true power comes not from material possessions or social status, but from the inner strength and resilience that allows one to pursue their goals with determination and courage.
