the flowers and the waters jetted from the jaws of lions molded in

yellow brass like unto gold. So they took seat over against a



lakelet and rested a little while, and Aladdin enjoyed himself with

joy exceeding and fell to jesting with his uncle and making merry with



him as though the magician were really his father's brother.

Presently the Maghrabi arose, and loosing his girdle, drew forth



from thereunder a bag full of victual, dried fruits and so forth,

saying to Aladdin: "O my nephew, haply thou art become a-hungered,



so come forward and eat what thou needest." Accordingly the lad fell

upon the food and the Moorman ate with him, and they were gladdened



and cheered by rest and good cheer. Then quoth the magician: "Arise, O

son of my brother, an thou be reposed, and let us strollonward a



little and reach the end of our walk." Thereupon Aladdin arose and the

Moroccan paced with him from garden to garden until they left all



behind them and reached the base of a high and naked hill, when the

lad, who during all his days had never issued from the city gate and



never in his life had walked such a walk as this, said to the

Maghrabi: "O uncle mine, whither are we wending? We have left the



gardens behind us one and all and have reached the barren hill

country. And if the way be still long, I have no strength left for



walking. Indeed I am ready to fall with fatigue. There are no

gardens before us, so let us hark back and return to town." Said the



magician: "No, O my son. This is right road, nor are the gardens

ended, for we are going to look at one which hath ne'er its like



amongst those of the kings, and all thou hast beheld are naught in

comparison therewith. Then gird thy courage to walk. Thou art now a



man, Alhamdolillah- praise be to Allah!"

Then the Maghrabi fell to soothing Aladdin with soft words and



telling him wondrous tales, lies as well as truth, until they

reached the site intended by the African magician, who had traveled



from the sunset land to the regions of China for the sake thereof. And

when they made the place, the Moorman said to Aladdin: "O son of my



brother, sit thee down and take thy rest, for this is the spot we

are now seeking and, Inshallah, soon will I divert thee by



displaying marvel matters whose like not one in the world ever saw,

nor hath any solaced himself with gazing upon that which thou art



about to behold. But when thou art rested, arise and seek some wood

chips and fuel sticks which be small and dry, wherewith we may



kindle a fire. Then will I show thee, O son of my brother, matters

beyond the range of matter." Now when the lad heard these words, he



longed to look upon what his uncle was about to do and, forgetting his

fatigue, he rose forthright and fell to gathering small wood chips and



dry sticks, and continued until the Moorman cried to him, "Enough, O

son of my brother!"



Presently the magician brought out from his breast pocker a

casket, which he opened, and drew from it all he needed of incense.



Then he fumigated and conjured and adjured, muttering words none might

understand. And the ground straightway clave asunder after thick gloom



and quake of earth and bellowings of thunder. Hereat Aladdin was

startled and so affrighted that he tried to fly, but when the



African magician saw his design, he waxed wroth with exceeding

wrath, for that without the lad his work would profit him naught,



the hidden hoard which he sought to open being not to be opened save

by means of Aladdin. So, noting this attempt to run away, the magician



arose, and raising his hand, smote Aladdin on the head a buffet so

sore that well-nigh his back teeth were knocked out, and he fell



swooning to the ground. But after a time he revived by the magic of

the magician, and cried, weeping the while: "O my uncle, what have I



done that deserveth from thee such a blow as this?" Hereat the

Maghrabi fell to soothing him, and said: "O my son, 'tis my intent



to make thee a man. Therefore do thou not gainsay me, for that I am

thine uncle and like unto thy father. Obey me, therefore, in all I bid



thee, and shortly thou shalt forget all this travail and toil whenas

thou shalt look upon the marvel matters I am about to show thee."



And soon after the ground had cloven asunder before the Moroccan, it

displayed a marble slab wherein was fixed a copper ring. The Maghrabi,



striking a geomantic table, turned to Aladdin and said to him: "An

thou do all I shall bid thee, indeed thou shalt become wealthier



than any of the kings. And for this reason, O my son, I struck thee,

because here lieth a hoard which is stored in thy name, and yet thou



designedst to leave it and to levant. But now collect thy thoughts,

and behold how I opened earth by my spells and adjurations. Under



yon stone wherein the ring is set lieth the treasure wherewith I

acquainted thee. So set thy hand upon the ring and raise the slab, for



that none other amongst the folk, thyself excepted, hath power to open
