ALADDIN AND THE LAMP FICTIONAL MORAL STORY

            In the ancient times of Persia, there lived a young man named Aladdin. He was a kind hearted, God, fearing, service minded lad. He had the habit of helping anyone who asked for, whether they be known or they be strangers.





 In a faraway desert, there was a ruined cave that had a lamp buried within. A cruel wizard was in need of it, as there was a Genie bottled inside. Genies are capable of granting anything you wished. He was in search of a person with a pure heart because only such a person can take the lamp out of the cave. The wizard heard of Aladdin's kindness and decided that he was the right person to fetch the lamp. When the wizard asked Aladdin to help him, Aladdin could not refuse.

            He travelled with the wizard to the ruins in the desert. He bravely entered into the ruins and found the lamp lying there, as told by the wizard. There were riches beyond imagination. However, Aladdin was not interested in them. "I've found the lamp," shouted Aladdin. "Thank you, bring it to me," replied the wizard.



        When Aladdin stretched his hand for the wizard to lift him out, the wizard snatched the lamp and ran away, leaving Aladdin to die. Aladdin thought to himself, "God, what am I to do now? Please help me. Aladdin was squeezing his fist in agitation. Suddenly, he felt a ring in his hand. He didn't know how it came there. He started rubbing the ring out of curiosity. 

       To his wonder, a Genie appeared there and bowed in front of him saying, "Thank you young man for releasing me. You are my master now. What shall I do for you?" Aladdin told the whole story to the Genie and said, "Take me home. Also, bring back the lamp from the wizard. It should not be in the hands of bad people." "So be it, my lord," replied the Genie. In a moment Aladdin was in his home and the lamp was in his hands. 

      The Genie said, "I shall appear only once, but the one in the lamp will appear as many times as you rub the lamp. Use it well young man," and disappeared. Aladdin became very rich with the help of the Genie in the lamp. He made his whole country and the people who lived there were also very rich and happy.
