Chapter 2: A Walk to Nowhere
Early the next morning, Abenaza arrived at Aladdin's house, and then he and Aladdin walked to the market.
“First of all, we must look at coats.”, Abenaza said.
Soon,Aladdin had an expensive new coat and he felt very happy.
Then Abenaza and Aladdin walked through the market and looked at the shops.
They drank coffee, talked to people, and had a very good dinner.
It was a wonderful day for Aladdin on Friday.
When the market was closed, Abenaza took Aladdin to the beautiful gardens in the city.
They walked under the trees and talked about a shop for Aladdin.
“You are very good to me, uncle.”, Aladdin said.
Abenaza smiled, “But of course”, he said, “You are my brother's son. Now let us leave the city and go up into the hills. There is something wonderful there and you must see it.”
They left the gardens, walked past the sultan's palace and out of the city, up intothe hills.
They walked for a long time and Aladdin began to feel tired.
“It'snot far now.”, said Abenaza, “We're going to see a beautiful garden, more beautiful than the garden of the Sultan's palace.”
At last, Abenaza stopped.
“Here we are.”, he said.
Aladdin looked, but he could see no gardens on the hills.
“Where is this garden, uncle?”, He said.
“First we must make a fire.”, said Abenaza.
Aladdin did not understand, but he made a fire for his uncle on the ground.
Then Abenaza took some powder out of a small box and put it on the fire.
He closed his eyes and said, “Abra Cadabra”.
At once, the sky went dark.
Black smoke came from the fire, and the ground under the fire began to open.
Then the smoke went away, and in the ground, there was now a big white stone with aring in it.
Aladdin was very afraid.
He began to run away, but Abenaza took his arm and hit him on the head.
For a minute or two, Aladdin could not speak or move, then he cried. “Why did you do that, uncle.”
“You must be a man now, not a child.”, said Abenaza, “I am your father's brother,and you must obey me. Don't be afraid. In a short time, you're going to be a rich man. Now, listen carefully.”
He took Aladdin's hand, “only you can move this stone, put your hand on the ring and say your name and your father's name.”
Very afraid, Aladdin put his hand on the ring.
It was not hot, but very cold.
“I am Aladdin, son of Mustafa.”, he said.
The stone moved easily, and now Aladdin could see stairs under the ground.
“Go down those stairs.”, Abenaza said, “And then through four big rooms in the last room, there is a door into a garden, and under one of the trees there is alamp. You can take some fruit from the trees and but first you must find the lamp. Bring the lamp to me.”
“Please come with me, uncle.”, Aladdin said.
“No,only you can do this, my boy.”
Abenaza took a gold ring off his finger and gave it to Aladdin.
“This ring is magic and can protect you.”, he said, “Be careful and bring me the l am pquickly.”
Aladdin put the ring on the little finger of his left hand and began to go down the stairs.
It was dark and he was afraid, but he was more afraid of Abenaza.
And Aladdin was right to be afraid, because Abenaza was not his uncle.
He was a magician from Morocco, and he wanted this lamp very much.
It was a magic lamp, and only a poor boy from the city could get it for him. A boy called Aladdin.
Aladdin went down 100 stairs and into the first room down here.
It was not dark, and he went quickly through the rooms to the door into the garden.
There were trees in the garden with beautiful fruit of different colors, white, red,green, and yellow.
He soon found the lamp under one of the trees.
“Why does my uncle want this dirty old lamp?”, he thought.
He put it in his pocket.
Then he began to take fruit from the trees and to put it in every pocket of his coat.
After that he went back to the stairs and began to go up.
Soon he could see Abenaza and the blue sky.
“Give the lamp to me!”, Abenaza said and put out his hand quickly, “Boy, the lamp.”
Aladdin could not get the lamp out of his pocket because it was under the fruit.
He looked at Abenaza's angry face and was afraid.
“First help me out, then you can have the lamp.”, he said, “Please uncle.”
“First the lamp.”, cried Abenaza, “Give me the lamp.”
“No.”,Aladdin said.
“You good for nothing, you dog, you and the lamp can stay down there.”, angrily Abenaza to the fire and put more powder on it.
“Abra Cadabra.”, he called.
The big white stone moved again and now Aladdin could not see the sky.
He was in the dark under the ground and could not get out.

第二章：无处可去
第二天一大早，阿贝纳扎来到阿拉丁家，然后他和阿拉丁一起走向市场。
阿贝纳扎说：“首先，我们必须看看外套。”。
不久，阿拉丁有了一件昂贵的新外套，他感到非常高兴。
然后，阿贝纳扎和阿拉丁穿过市场，看着商店。
他们喝咖啡，与人交谈，吃了一顿丰盛的晚餐。
星期五对阿拉丁来说是美好的一天。
当市场关闭时，阿贝纳扎带阿拉丁去了城里美丽的花园。
他们走在树下，谈论着阿拉丁的商店。
“叔叔，你对我很好。”阿拉丁说。
阿贝纳扎微笑着说：“当然，你是我哥哥的儿子。现在，我们离开这座城市，上山去吧。那里有一些美妙的东西，你一定要看看。”
他们离开花园，走过苏丹的宫殿，出城，上山。
他们走了很长时间，阿拉丁开始觉得累了。
“现在不远了。”阿贝纳扎说，“我们要去看一个美丽的花园，比苏丹宫殿的花园还要漂亮。”
最后，阿贝纳扎停了下来。
“我们到了。”他说。
阿拉丁看了看，但他看不见山上的花园。
“叔叔，这个花园在哪里？”他说。
“首先，我们必须生火。”阿贝纳扎说。
阿拉丁不明白，但他在地上为叔叔生火。
然后，阿贝纳扎从一个小盒子里拿出一些粉末放在火上。
他闭上眼睛说：“阿布拉·卡达布拉。”。
天空立刻变黑了。
大火冒出黑烟，火下的地面开始裂开。
然后烟散了，地上有一块大白石头，上面有一个戒指。
阿拉丁非常害怕。
他开始逃跑，但阿贝纳扎抓住他的胳膊，打了他的头。
有一两分钟，阿拉丁无法说话或移动，然后他哭了。“你为什么那么做，叔叔。”
“你现在必须成为一个男人，而不是一个孩子。”阿贝纳扎说，“我是你父亲的兄弟，你必须服从我。不要害怕。很快，你就会成为一个富人。现在，仔细听。”
他握住阿拉丁的手，“只有你能移动这块石头，把手放在戒指上，说出你的名字和你父亲的名字。”
非常害怕，阿拉丁把手放在戒指上。
天气不热，但很冷。
“我是阿拉丁，穆斯塔法的儿子。”他说。
石头很容易移动，现在阿拉丁可以看到地下的楼梯了。
“走下那些楼梯。”阿贝纳扎说，“然后穿过最后一个房间的四个大房间，有一扇门通往花园，在其中一棵树下有一盏灯。你可以从树上摘些水果，但首先你必须找到那盏灯。把灯带给我。”
“叔叔，请跟我来。”阿拉丁说。
“不，只有你能做到，我的孩子。”
阿贝纳扎从手指上摘下一枚金戒指，递给阿拉丁。
“这戒指很神奇，可以保护你。”他说，“小心点，快把灯给我拿来。”
阿拉丁把戒指戴在左手的小指上，开始下楼。
天很黑，他很害怕，但他更害怕阿贝纳扎。
阿拉丁害怕是对的，因为阿贝纳扎不是他的叔叔。
他是一位来自摩洛哥的魔法师，他非常想要这盏灯。
这是一盏神灯，只有城里的一个穷孩子才能给他弄到，一个叫阿拉丁的男孩。
阿拉丁走下100级楼梯，走进楼下的第一个房间。
天还不黑，他迅速穿过房间，来到花园的门口。
花园里有树，结着不同颜色的美丽果实，白色、红色、绿色和黄色。
他很快在一棵树下找到了那盏灯。
“为什么我叔叔想要这盏脏兮兮的旧灯？”他想。
他把它放进口袋里。
然后，他开始从树上摘水果，放进外套的每个口袋里。
之后，他回到楼梯上，开始往上走。
很快，他就能看到阿贝纳扎和蓝天。
“把灯给我！”阿贝纳扎说，然后迅速伸出手来，“孩子，灯。”
阿拉丁无法从口袋里掏出那盏灯，因为它在水果下面。
他看着阿贝纳扎愤怒的脸，很害怕。
“先帮帮我，然后你就可以拿到灯了。”他说，“叔叔，求求你。”
“首先是灯。”阿贝纳扎喊道，“把灯给我。”
“不。”阿拉丁说。
“你一无是处，你这条狗，你和灯可以一直呆在那里。”，愤怒的阿贝纳扎把更多的粉末放在火上。
“阿布拉·卡达布拉。”他喊道。
那块白色的大石头又动了，现在阿拉丁看不见天空了。
他在地下黑暗中，无法脱身。
