AladdinHero of a well-known story in The Thousand and One Nights. The son of a poor widow, Aladdin is a lazy, careless boy who meets an African magician claiming to be his uncle. He sends Aladdin into a cave to find a magic lamp, but Aladdin refuses to hand over the lamp until he is safely out of the cave. The angry magician shuts the boy in the cave and departs, but Aladdin discovers that he can summon powerful genies (jinn) by rubbing the lamp. The genies grant his every wish, and Aladdin becomes rich, marries the sultan's beautiful daughter, and reigns for many years. How to thank TFD for its existence?

| This so grieved the father that he died; yet, in spite of his mother's tears and prayers, Aladdin did not mend his ways. Judge for yourself, Signor Aladdin -- judge, but do not confine yourself to one trial. But the builders of the Tower of Babel were quite modest and domestic people, like mice, compared with old Aladdin. |
