‘ Her slave-girl ran down and opened a little door into the gardens. Aladdin ran up to the Princess's rooms, and in a second she was in his arms.

‘ Oh, my love, ' the Princess said. ‘ A bad man carried me here. A magician¹. His name is －'

‘ His name is Abanazar and I am going to kill him, ' said Aladdin. ‘ Tell me － does he have my old lamp? '

‘ Yes, ' Badr-al-Budur said. ‘ He always carries it with him. I know about its magic now, because he told me. Oh, why did I give it away? '

‘ Listen, my love, ' said Aladdin. ‘ I'm going to give you some sleeping-powder. When he comes here again, you must give him a drink and put the powder in it. When he is asleep, I can kill him. Don't be afraid. I'm going to take you home very soon. Now for some good magic. '

He began to rub² his ring...

WHOOSH³! ‘

What is your wish, master? ' said the jinnee of the ring.

‘ Bring me some sleeping-powder, ' said Aladdin.

‘ To hear is to obey. '

In a second the jinnee was back with some sleeping-powder. Then Aladdin and the Princess waited for Abanazar.

In the evening they heard him on the sitars.

‘ Don't be afraid, ' Aladdin said quietly to his wife. ‘ I am in the next room and can be with you in a second. ' He went quickly into the next room and stood behind the door.

Abanazar opened the door of Badr-al-Budur's room and came in. He smiled: ‘ You are more beautiful every day, Badr-al-Budur, ' he said. ‘ Your husband, that good-for-nothing Aladdin, is dead now. You must marry me. You can have gold, jewels, palaces, anything! But you must be my wife. '

For the first time the Princess smiled at Abanazar.

她的婢女跑下去打开了通往花园的一扇小门。阿拉丁跑到公主的房间里，公主马上扑到了他的怀里。

“哦，我心爱的，”公主说道，“一个坏蛋把我带到了这里。他是个魔法师，名字叫－－”

“他叫阿巴那扎尔，我要宰了他。”阿拉丁说，“告诉我－－他拿了我的旧油灯了吗？”

“是的，”公主答道，“他总是把它带在身边。我现在知道它具有魔力了，因为魔法师跟我说了。天呐，我为什么要把它送给别人呢？”

“听着，亲爱的，”阿拉丁说，“我要给你一些催眠药粉。他回来以后，你必须向他敬一杯酒，并且把药粉放在里面。等他睡熟后，我就能杀死他了。千万别害怕。我很快就会带你回家。现在我来使一个小魔法。”

他伸手去擦拭戒指??

呼啦！

“你有什么愿望，主人？”戒指神问道。

“给我找些催眠粉来。”阿拉丁说。

“听到就得遵从。”

很快，戒指神就弄来一些催眠药粉。阿拉丁和公主一起等着阿巴那扎尔的归来。

傍晚时分，他们终于听到了他上楼梯的声音。

“不要害怕，”阿拉丁悄声对他妻子说，“我就在隔壁的房间里，随时可以来帮助你。”他很快地躲到隔壁房间的门后。

阿巴那扎尔打开白狄仑?布杜鲁公主的房门走了进来。他谄笑道：“你一天比一天漂亮了，白狄仑?布杜鲁公主。你的丈夫，那个叫阿拉丁的废物已经死了。你必须嫁给我。你可以拥有金银、珠宝、宫殿，所有的一切！但你必须做我的妻子。”

公主第一次对阿巴那扎尔露出了笑容。
