Aladdin and The Magic Lamp – Short Story for Kids

In a city far away there lived a poor boy Aladdin.

One fine day, a suspicious merchant came up to Aladdin and said he will make Aladdin rich if he finds a magic lamp. Aladdin agreed to do, but he didn’t know that the merchant was an evil wizard.

The wizard cunningly took him to a mountain asking him to bring a lamp from inside the cave.

In the cave, there were gold, silver, and all kind of treasures. Among those was a magic lamp glowing in the dark.

Aladdin took the Magic lamp and tried to get out of the cave. The wizard asked Aladdin for the lamp but he asked the wizard to fetch him out first.

But the angry wizard closed the cave door and went. Aladdin accidentally rubbed the lamp, and a genie appeared.

Aladdin asked the genie to take him home as his first wish. Suddenly a magic carpet flew in and carried him out of the cave.

Back home, Aladdin rubbed the magic lamp again and asked the genie for a big palace filled with riches. Genie granted him his second wish, and now Aladdin was the richest man in the city.

He got married to the princess of that city.

The evil wizard who heard all of this was deeply angered. He went to the princess acting like an old merchant and exchanged the magical lamp with a regular lamp.
