Aladdin with the oil lamp.

Aladdin is a person from the story Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp, which is part of the Book of One Thousand and One Nights.

## [edit] Story

The young man Aladdin is told by a sorcerer (magician) to fetch him an oil lamp from a cave. Aladdin fetches the lamp, but the sorceror tries to trick him. So, Aladdin keeps the lamp for himself. Aladdin discovers that inside the lamp there is a djinn. The djinn can fulfill every wish of the lamp's owner. With the jinn's help, Aladdin becomes rich and powerful and marries a princess.

The sorcerer returns and tricks Aladdin's wife into giving him the magic lamp. Aladdin finds out that in a ring he has, there is another djinn. This djinn helps Aladdin defeat the sorceror, get back the magic lamp, and save his wife.

## [edit] Adaptions

In the Disney film Aladdin, he is a smart young thief in the not real city of Agrabah. He meets and falls in love with the leaders daughter, Jasmine, an independent soul who, much like Aladdin, wants to escape from her current life. Jafar, the leaders evil advisor, tricks Aladdin into helping him find a magic lamp, which ends up with Aladdin and his monkey and friend, Abu. The lamp's occupant is a lunatic, shape-shifting genie, who promises his master three wishes, and though he cannot make Jasmine fall in love with Aladdin - he can make things easier for him. By making Aladdin look like rich and handsome Prince Ali, Aladdin does not impress the Princess, and discovers that it was his true self she liked him all along. Using his own smartness and courage, Aladdin defeats Jafar and his evil plans, becoming a prince and the Princess.
