Genie of the lamp

"Just what I wanted. Nothing would be better than to build a house for Princess Badinu Budoru near the palace." Aladdin then said goodbye to the emperor, mounted his horse, and led the guards away from the palace.

Aladdin's decisive words and deeds won everyone's praise.

Back home, Aladdin went into the bedroom at once.

He took out the magic lamp and rubbed it. The genie of the lamp immediately appeared in front of him and asked, "Master, if you need anything, please tell me!"

At once Aladdin gave instructions to the Genie of the lamp, "I want you to build, as quickly as you can, a very beautiful and magnificent palace on the ground in front of the palace. It shall be furnished and furnished with everything that is of great royal use."

"I see. I'll do it." The genie of the lamp obediently retired.

Early the next morning the Genie of the lamp appeared to Aladdin and said, "Tell your master that the palace has been built according to your wishes and desires. Now please come with me to inspect it and see if you are satisfied with it."

Aladdin willingly agreed to go and see it, and the Djinn carried him on his back, and in a moment he came to the place where the new palace was.

Aladdin looked at this magnificent building with delighted eyes, and was very satisfied. The whole building is made of precious jasper, granite, marble and other materials, through fine carving chisel. The most spectacular of all is the upstairs viewing pavilion with 24 latticed Windows. Each of these Windows was set with precious stones of a kind, more ingenious in design and more elaborate in workmanship than any mortal man could have imagined, but one of these Windows was evidently left unfinished on purpose, because Aladdin had wished to test the Emperor's powers.

Aladdin also wanted to see the decorations and furnishings, so he went into the palace, led by the genie of the lamp.

They first went to the storeroom, where there were mountains of gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins, the quantity and quality of which were immeasurable. There were stately bedclothes, rich furnishings, and rare ornaments in the beautifully furnished rooms. They entered the dining room, where the tableware was either silver or gold. At last they came to the stable, where they kept a strong horse with a high head, far beyond the mule owned by the emperor. In addition to this, in the new palace, there were a large number of eunuchs, servants, and handmaids who were very beautiful.

Aladdin looked happily at the whole of the palace, and went out with easy steps.

As he walked along, he suddenly turned and said to the Genie of the lamp who was following him, "Oh, I forgot one thing."

"What is it? Let the master tell you."

"In order that Princess Badinu Budoru may walk here from the palace without touching the ground with her feet, I need a carpet of pure gold silk, and spread it from here to the palace."

The Djinn went away, and in a moment he came back to Aladdin and said, "It is all done. Please go and see." So Aladdin went out of the palace with the Djinn. He took a good look at the amazing carpet that lay between the two houses, and then left contentedly, escorted home by the Djinn.

The next morning, when the emperor woke up, he got up and opened the window. At a glance he could see the magnificent palace opposite the palace. To make sure he was not dreaming, he rubbed his eyes and looked again. At last he was convinced that it was indeed a very large and splendid building. And when he saw the unique carpet lying between the two palaces, his jaw dropped.

Early that morning, the prime minister entered the palace and stopped in front of the palace. He was astonished at what he saw and did not know why. After a while, he came to his senses and hurried to the palace to see the emperor. The king and the minister immediately began to talk about this incredible miracle. Finally, the emperor said to the prime minister proudly:

"I suppose you have changed your mind by now. When I said Aladdin was worthy to be the husband of Princess Badinu Butoru, you did not think so. '

The Prime minister's anger and jealousy towards Aladdin never changed, so he replied to the emperor: "Your Majesty, even the richest man and the most powerful emperor in the world could not build such a huge and magnificent building in one night. I think it is only a trick played by magicians."
