1
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:19,105
Magrib was certain that Aladdin was the right boy.

2
00:00:19,106 --> 00:00:25,346
He reached his long arm into the crowd of children and grabbed Aladdin's sleeve.

3
00:00:25,347 --> 00:00:31,659
"Come here, my boy," he said.

4
00:00:31,660 --> 00:00:36,531
"Tell me—are you the son of a poor tailor?"

5
00:00:36,532 --> 00:00:42,290
"Oh yes, I am," said Aladdin, "but my father died years ago."

6
00:00:42,291 --> 00:00:45,535
"He's dead?" cried the magician.

7
00:00:45,536 --> 00:00:55,623
With a groan, he threw his arms around Aladdin's neck and began to weep.

8
00:00:55,624 --> 00:00:57,057
"Why are you crying?"

9
00:00:57,058 --> 00:01:00,810
asked Aladdin, his eyes wide with surprise.

10
00:01:00,811 --> 00:01:04,031
"Did you know my father?"

11
00:01:04,032 --> 00:01:08,166
"Did I know him?" exclaimed the magician.

12
00:01:08,167 --> 00:01:11,461
"Your father was my brother!

13
00:01:11,462 --> 00:01:14,643
And now you say he is dead!"

14
00:01:14,644 --> 00:01:17,805
Tears poured down his cheeks.

15
00:01:17,806 --> 00:01:20,851
"I am Magrib, your uncle.

16
00:01:20,852 --> 00:01:25,150
I have traveled over deserts and mountains to see him.

17
00:01:25,151 --> 00:01:30,900
But I am too late!"

18
00:01:30,901 --> 00:01:33,235
"I'm so sorry," said Aladdin.

19
00:01:33,236 --> 00:01:35,754
"My father never spoke of you."

20
00:01:35,755 --> 00:01:40,095
"The moment I saw you, I knew you were my brother's son,"

21
00:01:40,096 --> 00:01:43,689
murmured Magrib, still weeping.

22
00:01:43,690 --> 00:01:45,579
"You look just like him.

23
00:01:45,580 --> 00:01:47,194
Your handsome nose!

24
00:01:47,195 --> 00:01:49,935
Your black eyes!"

25
00:01:49,936 --> 00:01:53,734
He squeezed Aladdin closer to his chest.

26
00:01:53,735 --> 00:02:02,774
"Oh, my child, I must accept God's will and take comfort that you, my own nephew, are alive and well.

27
00:02:02,775 --> 00:02:05,526
Now tell me, where do you live?

28
00:02:05,527 --> 00:02:09,486
Where is your mother, my brother's wife?"

29
00:02:09,487 --> 00:02:15,816
Aladdin led Magrib to a street of crooked houses made of mud and wood.

30
00:02:15,817 --> 00:02:19,581
"Just go to the end of the road and you will be at our door."

31
00:02:19,582 --> 00:02:27,343
Instead, Magrib reached into his sleeve and brought out five gold coins.

32
00:02:27,344 --> 00:02:28,958
"Go," he said.

33
00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:33,459
"Take these to your mother and tell her that your uncle has come.

34
00:02:33,460 --> 00:02:36,565
This evening I will visit my brother's house.

35
00:02:36,566 --> 00:02:40,797
Tell your mother to prepare a fine meal for us all."

36
00:02:40,798 --> 00:02:43,228
"I will happily do as you say, my uncle!"

37
00:02:43,229 --> 00:02:47,193
said Aladdin, amazed at the coins in his hands.

38
00:02:47,194 --> 00:02:53,419
He had never seen so much money, and he ran home as fast as he could.

39
00:02:53,420 --> 00:02:57,872
When Aladdin arrived, his mother was busy spinning yarn.

40
00:02:57,873 --> 00:03:00,882
She was surprised to see her son.

41
00:03:00,883 --> 00:03:07,042
"I never see you except at mealtime," she said, "and supper is hours away.

42
00:03:07,043 --> 00:03:09,951
What do you want from me?"

43
00:03:09,952 --> 00:03:13,393
"Mother!" he cried. "I have great news!

44
00:03:13,394 --> 00:03:15,995
I bring greetings from my uncle!"

45
00:03:15,996 --> 00:03:20,778
"Uncle?" said Zeba. "You have no uncle!"

46
00:03:20,779 --> 00:03:24,470
"Listen," replied Aladdin. "It is true!"

47
00:03:24,471 --> 00:03:30,118
The boy told her everything that had happened and all that Magrib had said.

48
00:03:30,119 --> 00:03:33,618
Then Aladdin gave his mother the coins.

49
00:03:33,619 --> 00:03:36,135
They sparkled in her hand.

50
00:03:36,136 --> 00:03:39,468
"Your father never spoke of a brother," she said.

51
00:03:39,469 --> 00:03:41,751
"Is it possible?"

52
00:03:41,752 --> 00:03:44,489
"Yes, Mother," said Aladdin.

53
00:03:44,490 --> 00:03:46,835
"And my uncle is coming to eat with us tonight!"

54
00:03:46,836 --> 00:03:49,589
"Tonight!" cried Zeba.

55
00:03:49,590 --> 00:03:50,903
"I must get ready!

56
00:03:50,904 --> 00:03:53,765
There is so much to do!"

57
00:03:53,766 --> 00:03:57,777
Aladdin's mother took the coins and hurried to the market.

58
00:03:57,778 --> 00:04:02,216
She bought olive oil, cheese, and a plump chicken.

59
00:04:02,217 --> 00:04:08,377
Back at home, she set out her best dishes and laid out a colorful dinner cloth.

60
00:04:08,378 --> 00:04:12,085
She baked bread and toasted almonds.

61
00:04:12,086 --> 00:04:17,659
Finally the meal was ready, but Magrib had not yet arrived.

62
00:04:17,660 --> 00:04:20,670
"Well, where is he?" asked Zeba.

63
00:04:20,671 --> 00:04:23,957
"Maybe he got lost," said Aladdin.

64
00:04:23,958 --> 00:04:27,605
"Lost?" said his mother. "You may be right.

65
00:04:27,606 --> 00:04:30,144
Run to the corner and look for him!"

66
00:04:30,145 --> 00:04:36,535
Just then they heard a knock on their door.
