Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp / Aladdin og den Vidunderlige Lampe

Once upon a time there lived a poor tailor

Der boede engang en fattig skrædder

this poor tailor had a son called Aladdin

denne stakkels skrædder havde en søn ved navn Aladdin

Aladdin was a careless, idle boy who did nothing

Aladdin var en skødesløs, ledig dreng, der intet gjorde

although, he did like to play ball all day long

selvom han kunne lide at spille bold hele dagen lang

this he did in the streets with other little idle boys

dette gjorde han på gaden med andre små ledige drenge

This so grieved the father that he died

Dette gjorde faderen så bedrøvet, at han døde

his mother cried and prayed, but nothing helped

hans mor græd og bad, men intet hjalp

despite her pleading, Aladdin did not mend his ways

på trods af hendes bøn, rettede Aladdin sig ikke op
