Волшебная лампа Аладдина / The Story of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp

Once upon a time there lived a poor tailor. He had a son Aladdin. This boy was very idle; he wanted to do nothing but play[23 - do nothing but play – не делать ничего другого, как играть] all day long. Soon his father fell sick[24 - fell sick – заболел] and died.

One day Aladdin was sitting in the street and playing with his friends, a stranger came along.[25 - came along – подошёл] The stranger was a magician. And he asked Aladdin, “Boy, are you not the son of the tailor?”

Aladdin answered, “Yes, O my master, but my father is dead.”

The magician began to weep. Aladdin asked the stranger, “Did you know my father?”

The stranger replied, “My boy, your father was my brother! And now he is dead. O my son, where is your house, and where is your mother?”

Aladdin showed him the way to their house, and the sorcerer gave him some coins, “Take this money, give it to your mother and tell her that your uncle came.”

When the uncle saw the poor woman, he said, “I am your husband’s brother. Forty years ago I left this city and travelled around the world. I visited India and China, and Arabia, and Egypt. I studied magic there.”

The woman answered, “Indeed, my husband had a brother. But I always thought he was dead.”

“No, that’s not true, I’m alive! Please tell me about this boy.”
