Listen to your teacher and follow the instructions.
A beautiful girl called Jasmine goes to the market place and steals an
apple for a poor and hungry boy. The seller wants to cut off Jasmine’s
hands but Aladdin rescues her. They hide and look at the palace
together. Before Aladdin could say his name, he goes to prison. Jafar
takes him out of the cell and asks him to go into a cave. Aladdin enters
the cave and takes the magic lamp. He rubs the magic lamp and meets
the Genie. The Genie is ready to fulfill the three wishes for Aladdin. He
asks for his first wish and becomes a real Prince. Aladdin, now a Prince,
takes Jasmine for a ride on his magic carpet. At that moment Jasmine
recognizes Aladdin. But Jafar catches Aladdin again. How will Aladdin
escape this time? Who will help him? We’ll soon know.
