1
00:00:13,334 --> 00:00:17,982
Aladdin had changed after his experience in the treasury.

2
00:00:17,983 --> 00:00:21,108
He didn't feel like a child anymore.

3
00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:24,889
He didn't want to play all day in the streets.

4
00:00:24,890 --> 00:00:30,268
He felt grown up and wanted to help his mother.

5
00:00:30,269 --> 00:00:33,535
Aladdin looked at the plates that had held their food.

6
00:00:33,536 --> 00:00:36,449
And he had an idea.

7
00:00:36,450 --> 00:00:40,205
"I will take one of these plates to the bazaar and sell it."

8
00:00:40,206 --> 00:00:45,850
"It's a fine plate, but it's probably not real gold," said Zeba.

9
00:00:45,851 --> 00:00:49,852
"You might get a few copper coins for it."

10
00:00:49,853 --> 00:00:54,315
Aladdin put the plate in his jacket and went to the bazaar.

11
00:00:54,316 --> 00:01:00,713
He found an old merchant in a shop filled with pots, plates, and cups.

12
00:01:00,714 --> 00:01:03,327
"How much will you give me for this plate?"

13
00:01:03,328 --> 00:01:06,572
Aladdin asked the merchant.

14
00:01:06,573 --> 00:01:11,332
The old man took the plate and looked at it closely.

15
00:01:11,333 --> 00:01:15,782
"Pure gold," he whispered to himself.

16
00:01:15,783 --> 00:01:18,069
He looked up at Aladdin and thought,

17
00:01:18,070 --> 00:01:22,904
"But I think this boy does not know this."

18
00:01:22,905 --> 00:01:27,349
To Aladdin, he said slyly, "It is not a bad plate.

19
00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:29,837
How much do you want for it?"

20
00:01:29,838 --> 00:01:33,529
"What is it worth?" asked Aladdin.

21
00:01:33,530 --> 00:01:39,047
The old man smiled and pulled one gold piece from his pocket.

22
00:01:39,048 --> 00:01:44,234
"Oh, thank you, sir!" Aladdin cried, taking the coin.

23
00:01:44,235 --> 00:01:48,532
Immediately the merchant wished he had offered even less.

24
00:01:48,533 --> 00:01:54,260
"Two copper coins would have been enough," he thought.

25
00:01:54,261 --> 00:01:59,844
After that, whenever Aladdin needed money, he took a plate to the merchant.

26
00:01:59,845 --> 00:02:06,610
Each time, the old man grumbled to himself and paid one gold coin.

27
00:02:06,611 --> 00:02:12,457
One day, Aladdin put the last plate in his jacket and headed for the bazaar.

28
00:02:12,458 --> 00:02:17,945
As he walked along, another merchant came out of a different shop.

29
00:02:17,946 --> 00:02:23,621
"Boy, I have seen you passing by many times," he said.

30
00:02:23,622 --> 00:02:27,666
"And you always go to that one old merchant.

31
00:02:27,667 --> 00:02:29,485
Show me what you are selling.

32
00:02:29,486 --> 00:02:32,033
Maybe I will pay more."

33
00:02:32,034 --> 00:02:37,988
"Oh, I get a very good price for my plates," said Aladdin with pride.

34
00:02:37,989 --> 00:02:41,750
The new merchant took Aladdin's plate and weighed it.

35
00:02:41,751 --> 00:02:45,804
"Is this plate like the ones you sold to the old man?"

36
00:02:45,805 --> 00:02:50,051
"Yes," replied Aladdin. "Exactly the same."

37
00:02:50,052 --> 00:02:53,930
"What did he give you?" asked the new merchant.

38
00:02:53,931 --> 00:02:59,232
"One gold coin!" said Aladdin with a big smile.

39
00:02:59,233 --> 00:03:02,737
"He cheated you," the merchant said.

40
00:03:02,738 --> 00:03:04,637
"This plate is pure gold.

41
00:03:04,638 --> 00:03:08,852
It is worth one hundred gold coins!"

42
00:03:08,853 --> 00:03:13,910
"I am a fool," muttered Aladdin, his face red.

43
00:03:13,911 --> 00:03:17,081
"And that old man has been laughing at me!"

44
00:03:17,082 --> 00:03:22,980
"Ah, but you can learn from your mistake," said the merchant.

45
00:03:22,981 --> 00:03:27,559
From that day, Aladdin went to the bazaar every morning.

46
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,898
He talked to all the merchants and traders.

47
00:03:30,899 --> 00:03:34,254
He learned about buying and selling.

48
00:03:34,255 --> 00:03:39,282
He asked many questions and learned the value of things.

49
00:03:39,283 --> 00:03:44,453
Aladdin sometimes visited a merchant who sold diamonds and rubies.

50
00:03:44,454 --> 00:03:50,189
He listened to everything the man said and watched him buy and sell.

51
00:03:50,190 --> 00:03:55,867
That is how Aladdin learned his glass fruit were not glass at all.

52
00:03:55,868 --> 00:04:02,695
They were rare stones worth more than anything owned by the sultan himself.

53
00:04:02,696 --> 00:04:07,488
One morning, Aladdin went to the bazaar as usual.

54
00:04:07,489 --> 00:04:14,250
When he arrived, he saw one of the sultan's men on a large horse speaking to the crowd.

55
00:04:14,251 --> 00:04:17,891
"People of the city!" the man shouted.

56
00:04:17,892 --> 00:04:21,151
"Lock up your shops and go home!

57
00:04:21,152 --> 00:04:27,626
Whoever does not obey will be killed!"
