The stranger helped Aladdin lift the stone, for it was very heavy. If you go down there, you’ll get your reward. Just go down into the cave under that stone you see there. This dark-eyed man was elegantly dressed with a finely-trimmed black beard and a splendid sapphire sparkled in his turban.
One day, while searching for wild figs in a grove some distance from the city, Aladdin met a mysterious stranger.
They were very poor and lived from day to day, although Aladdin did what he could to earn a few pennies, picking bananas in faraway places. Once upon a time there was a widow who had an only son named Aladdin.
