THE STORY
It was the first day of the year and the people had started to gather in the palace yard. At noon the
beloved Caliph must show the sacred sceptre to prove his right to rule over the land of Bagdad.
However, several hours earlier:
The Caliph woke up in his bed feeling very strange. Everything around him seemed to have grown
bigger. Nervously he ran through the palace to the room where he kept his magic lamp. He climbed
onto the table and polished the lamp until a genie appeared. "How can I help you, o master"?
"Why am I so small"?
"What has happened to my palace"?
"What does this all mean"? asked the Caliph.
After an oppressive silence the genie spoke again:
“It seems that an evil wizard from a land across the great sea has conjured your palace full
of monsters and obstacles to prevent you from showing the spectre at noon. He intends to
divest you of all your power and become the Caliph himself".
"What can I do, how can you help me"? asked the Caliph.
"I am doomed to stay in this lamp", replied the genie", but whenever I can, I will try to give
you some helpful clues".
