"You
must climb down into this cave and fetch a lamp that you will find there,"he said. "Bring it to me.
Don't touch anything except the lamp.
Wear this magic ring to protect you.
Aladdin was afraid,but he dared not argue with his uncle.
He put on the magic ring and climbed into the cave.
As soon as he was through the entrance, his eyes grew wide with wonder.
All around,piles of gold and jewels stretched from floor to ceiling.
Gemstones glittered in the dim light.
Just one ruby would make Aladdin and his mother rich.
But he did as he had promised and touched nothing.
At last,he found a dull brass lamp.
Surely this can't be it?Aladdin thought, but he took it back to his uncle.
When he got to the opening,he found he couldn't climb out of the cave holding the lamp.
Pass it to me,.
his uncle said,then I will help you out.
" "Help me out first,uncle,"Aladdin replied, and then I will give you the lamp.
" No!"the man shouted.
.
First give me the lamp!"
