Aladdin (Story)

"Aladdin" is a folk tale mentioned on ABC's Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. It is an Aravis story translated into English by Antoine Galland and incorporated into the book "One Thousand and One Nights" in 1710.

Plot
Aladdin is an impoverished young ne'er-do-well in a Chinese town, who is recruited by a sorcerer from the Maghreb, who passes himself off as the brother of Aladdin's late father Qaseem, convincing Aladdin and his mother of his goodwill by apparently making arrangements to set up the lad as a wealthy merchant. The sorcerer's real motive is to persuade young Aladdin to retrieve a wonderful oil lamp from a booby-trapped magic cave of wonder.
