The man grew very excited and tugged at the rope to have Aladdin bring up the lamp quickly. But Aladdin could not take his eyes off the gold around him. He wanted to linger there little longer, but since the man kept pulling on the rope, he began climbing up with difficulty. Just as he was about to come out of the well, the man said, "Give me that lamp and then you'll hold on more easily." As soon as Aladdin handed the lamp to the man, the man let go of the rope. Aladdin could not hold on and fell screaming back into the well. But the man also failed to keep hold of the lamp and it fell into the well, hitting Aladdin on the head. The man went mad with rage. He left to find another solution. But Aladdin, holding the golden lamp, was left completely alone for days in that cold, dark, and silent well. No matter how much he shouted, no one heard his voice. At that moment, tiny light flashed before his eyes. Aladdin crawled toward the light and saw that it was coming from ring. The moment he put the ring on his finger, the bottom of the well lit up like daytime and huge giant appeared before him. The giant said, "You have three wishes. Wish for whatever you want.

As he hurried home, he bumped into Yasmin, who was secretly wandering the market. Aladdin was struck speechless at the sight of her beauty. Yasmin too could not take her eyes off this young man.

Yasmin spent her days looking out of her window and dreaming of the handsome young man she had seen in the market, Aladdin. As Aladdin's wealth spread by word of mouth, one day the Sultan summoned him to the palace to learn the source of it. He asked him to bring 40 soldiers, each carrying chests full of gold. As Aladdin left the palace, his eyes met Yasmin's. He immediately realized that she was the girl he had met in the market. Wanting to win the Sultan's favor, he hurried excitedly home. Meanwhile, Yasmin rushed to her father, threw herself at his feet, and said she had feelings for the young man she had just seen, and that she wanted to marry him. Her father, the Sultan, said, "Let's wait and see my daughter. First, he must fulfill my wishes. As soon as Aladdin arrived home, he stroked the lamp three times and the blue genie appeared and he wished for what the sultan wanted.

The Sultan was very impressed by such wealth and agreed to let his daughter marry Aladdin. Held in the palace that was remembered for ages. One day while Aladdin was not at the palace, an old peddler passed through the palace gardens. The peddler shouted, "Old things for trade, old things, peddler." Hearing this, Yasmin noticed the old lamp of Aladdin's and gave it to the peddler. In exchange, she took prettier, newer lamp. But Yasmin did not realize that the one she gave the lamp to was the same wicked man who had once left Aladdin alone in the well. The man was overjoyed the moment he got the lamp. Right then and there he rubbed the lamp and the blue genie came out and he ordered him to carry this beautiful palace along with the princess far away. The genie fulfilled the wish of his new master. The palace with Yasmin and the wicked man inside was carried far away into the lost lands of the desert. When Aladdin returned, neither Yasmin nor the palace was there anymore. At once he remembered the ring he had found in the well and put it on his finger. With the ring, the place lit up again and the giant reappeared. The giant said to Aladdin, "What do you wish from me? You have only two wishes left." Aladdin wished to go to Yasmin's side. When the giant clapped his hands, Aladdin suddenly found himself on flying carpet. Aladdin barely managed to get onto the carpet. And the flying carpet carried him to the palace in the farthest corner of the desert. Aladdin quietly entered the palace. In the palace hall, he saw Yasmin serving the wicked man. And the blue genie's lamp was sitting in the man's lap. Aladdin put the ring on his finger once more. The giant appeared before him again and said, "Wish for whatever you want, but this will be your last wish, remember." Aladdin wished for the wicked man to turn into bird. The giant clapped his hands and the man instantly turned into bird and flew out of the palace window. Yasmin was shocked at what she saw. Finally, Aladdin ran to Yasmin and embraced her. And of course, he immediately took the lamp with the blue genie. When he rubbed it few times, the blue genie appeared. He asked him to return the palace to its original place. The blue genie did as he was told, and the palace floated in the sky and returned to its old place. From that day on, Aladdin and Yasmin lived happily ever after as the happiest couple in the east.
