1
00:00:13,334 --> 00:00:19,387
"Twenty-three, twenty-four," counted Aladdin.

2
00:00:19,388 --> 00:00:21,886
He felt for the next step with his foot.

3
00:00:21,887 --> 00:00:26,132
"Twenty-five." The stairway was dark.

4
00:00:26,133 --> 00:00:30,762
"I must be careful," he said softly to himself.

5
00:00:30,763 --> 00:00:36,761
"Thirty." Soon Aladdin saw something below in the darkness.

6
00:00:36,762 --> 00:00:42,064
"A light," he said as he slowly stepped down. "Forty-two."

7
00:00:42,065 --> 00:00:44,459
The light was getting brighter.

8
00:00:44,460 --> 00:00:49,218
"Forty-eight, forty-nine." He was almost there!

9
00:00:49,219 --> 00:00:54,499
"Fifty!" Aladdin slipped through a narrow doorway and looked around.

10
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:58,486
"It's the golden chamber!" he cried.

11
00:00:58,487 --> 00:01:04,254
And there stood the four golden jars, just as Magrib had said.

12
00:01:04,255 --> 00:01:08,289
"Don't touch anything," Aladdin reminded himself.

13
00:01:08,290 --> 00:01:12,522
Just then a light wind tickled his face.

14
00:01:12,523 --> 00:01:15,210
"What's that?" he wondered.

15
00:01:15,211 --> 00:01:20,566
A stronger wind sent the end of his sash toward a golden jar.

16
00:01:20,567 --> 00:01:24,930
"Hey!" said Aladdin, pulling his sash back.

17
00:01:24,931 --> 00:01:29,561
"I wonder if there's a spirit in here," he whispered.

18
00:01:29,562 --> 00:01:32,844
Then Aladdin's cap blew off.

19
00:01:32,845 --> 00:01:37,405
"Stop!" he called to no one as he jumped to catch it.

20
00:01:37,406 --> 00:01:41,814
He slid across the floor and almost hit a golden jar.

21
00:01:41,815 --> 00:01:46,316
Aladdin gulped. "That was close!"

22
00:01:46,317 --> 00:01:50,973
Holding his cap, he ran to a large door just ahead of him.

23
00:01:50,974 --> 00:01:53,395
"My name is Aladdin!" he shouted.

24
00:01:53,396 --> 00:01:55,821
"I command you to open!"

25
00:01:55,822 --> 00:02:01,036
The door swung open, and Aladdin stepped into a beautiful garden.

26
00:02:01,037 --> 00:02:05,971
The air smelled like sweet flowers and ripe fruit.

27
00:02:05,972 --> 00:02:07,175
He looked up.

28
00:02:07,176 --> 00:02:09,089
"Oranges!" he said.

29
00:02:09,090 --> 00:02:10,454
"Lemons and limes!

30
00:02:10,455 --> 00:02:12,359
Pears and plums!"

31
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,703
Aladdin was getting hungry.

32
00:02:14,704 --> 00:02:17,688
He wished he could eat one of the plums.

33
00:02:17,689 --> 00:02:19,940
Then his face lit up.

34
00:02:19,941 --> 00:02:25,953
"Uncle said I can pick all the fruit I want when I have the lamp," he thought.

35
00:02:25,954 --> 00:02:29,408
The garden path was right under his feet.

36
00:02:29,409 --> 00:02:36,872
"One, two, three," he said, counting his steps as he walked between the trees.

37
00:02:36,873 --> 00:02:42,172
Exactly one hundred steps later, Aladdin arrived at the ladder.

38
00:02:42,173 --> 00:02:43,369
He looked up.

39
00:02:43,370 --> 00:02:47,574
The top was hidden high in the treetops.

40
00:02:47,575 --> 00:02:50,500
Slowly, Aladdin climbed.

41
00:02:50,501 --> 00:02:54,883
When he got to the top, the hole in the wall was in shadow.

42
00:02:54,884 --> 00:02:58,741
But Aladdin could see the lamp hanging from a chain.

43
00:02:58,742 --> 00:03:04,155
He reached in, took it, and held it in his hands.

44
00:03:04,156 --> 00:03:08,536
"It's just a dirty, old brass lamp," he said, shaking his head.

45
00:03:08,537 --> 00:03:10,983
"I don't want to mess up my jacket."

46
00:03:10,984 --> 00:03:16,511
So Aladdin wrapped the lamp in his sash and tucked it in his back pocket.

47
00:03:16,512 --> 00:03:20,872
Then he climbed back down the ladder.

48
00:03:20,873 --> 00:03:24,398
"Now," he said, "I'll get something to eat."

49
00:03:24,399 --> 00:03:29,288
But when Aladdin stepped to the ground, he couldn't believe what he saw.

50
00:03:29,289 --> 00:03:32,903
The oranges, lemons, and limes were gone.

51
00:03:32,904 --> 00:03:36,597
The pears and plums were gone too.

52
00:03:36,598 --> 00:03:41,712
Instead, the fruit trees were covered with sparkling jewels.

53
00:03:41,713 --> 00:03:45,488
"The fruit has turned to glass!" said Aladdin.

54
00:03:45,489 --> 00:03:48,859
He picked a bright-red jewel off a tree.

55
00:03:48,860 --> 00:03:51,714
"I can't eat this," he said with a shrug.

56
00:03:51,715 --> 00:03:52,744
"But it's pretty.

57
00:03:52,745 --> 00:03:56,022
I'll pick the glass fruit and take it to Mother."

58
00:03:56,023 --> 00:04:00,495
Aladdin was young, and he had always been poor.

59
00:04:00,496 --> 00:04:06,686
He didn't know these were precious gems—emeralds, diamonds, and rubies.

60
00:04:06,687 --> 00:04:09,068
They weren't glass at all.

61
00:04:09,069 --> 00:04:15,743
He began stuffing the jewels into the pockets of his jacket and pants until they bulged.

62
00:04:15,744 --> 00:04:19,762
"Now, I must return to my uncle," he told himself.

63
00:04:19,763 --> 00:04:25,309
He hurried through the golden chamber and started up the steps toward Magrib.

64
00:04:25,310 --> 00:04:31,704
Aladdin's load was so heavy that he could barely climb the stone stairway.

65
00:04:31,705 --> 00:04:39,569
And when he had almost reached the top, he could not get up the last step, which was taller than the others.

66
00:04:39,570 --> 00:04:47,000
"Uncle," he called out. "I'm back! Help me!"
