The Curse of Aladdin

Aladdin,Aladdin 

That's what they called him 

He had brown eyes and brown hair that looked like coffee

He was once a prince who got whatever he wanted

One day while riding a horse ,he found a lamp that looked expensive

He thought that maybe he could keep it 

Once he picked it up, the lamp jiggled

Inside of it, there lay a genie 

The genie told him that he would grant him three wishes 

The first two wishes were unimportant

However the last wish would cost him

He told the genie that he wished to know what the future had in store for him

Later on that day something inside him changed

He was brutal, and mean to all of his servants 

Then, one day a witch disquised as a helper put a curse on him

He turned into a tiger 

Soon, he was lonely and started to wander 

He wandered into the city day and night looking for a place to sleep

He stopped at a market place, and slept under the vendors soundly 

The next day the seller found him and tied him to a tree

When Aladdin woke , he tried to communicate that he was hungry 

The only words that came out were roars and mumbles 

Then the seller gave Aladdin a huge piece of savory meat and walked him up to a platform

Before he knew it Aladddin was the main exhibit in a crowd of tiger fighters

He was being sold to the highest dealer!

The dealer took the rope from Aladdin's neck and he put a leash on it 

He dealer whispered in Aladdin's ear "you will be the most valuable tiger at tonights' fight"

The dealer was right ,and he made Aladdin get into a caged arena where him and another tiger would fight

Soon the other tiger came back and started to fight Aladdin

Aladdin being a prince never knew how to fight because he was a prince

Princes didn't fight, they just gave orders 

Aladdin got bruised and banged up badly

 Soon the dealer knew that Aladdin would be no use for him 

He threw Aladdin outside in the rain

 Aladdin started to regret being such a horrible prince 

He soon came upon a little house

He went inside to rest

The next morning, a young maiden girl (Jasmine) saw him

At first,she was startled but then she relaxed

 She started to clean Aladdin's wounds and he woke up

She looked into his eyes with compassion

She took care of him for several weeks until he was nursed back to health

During that time, Aladdin and Jasmine became great friends 

His only wish would be for her to marry him 

Then one day it happened, a fairy in blue and white spoke with him 

She said that is was now his time 

"Time for what"? ,he thought 

"Time for you to the prince you were meant to be",she replied

With a quick motion of her hand and tilt of her hat 

Aladdin was once again a man,and returned to his living as usual

The next days went smoothly until his heart started to quake 

He missed his love, Jasmine

He went to his mother and father and told them all about what happened 

His parents told him to follow his hearts' desires

He found Jasmine coming back from the market place 

She had been looking for him

He told her about him being a tiger

Afterwards, he described his love for her 

She soon knew it was true and hugged him endlessly

They got married the following day

The weddding had with a lot of cheers and woohoos 

Always remember the lesson given here today 

If you think the future is important to know, just  live life day by day

Be careful of what you do 

I should know. Sincerly, Aladdin
