Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp / Aladin a Ndhern Lampa

Once upon a time there lived a poor tailor

Zil raz jeden chudobnÿ krajčír

this poor tailor had a son called Aladdin

tento chudobnÿ krajčír mal syna Aladina

Aladdin was a careless, idle boy who did nothing

Aladdin bol neopatrnÿ, nečinnÿ chlapec, ktorÿ nič nerobil

although, he did like to play ball all day long

aj keď rád hral celé dni s loptou

this he did in the streets with other little idle boys

toto robil na uliciach s inÿmi malÿmi nečinnÿmi chlapcami

This so grieved the father that he died

To otca tak zarmútilo, ze zomrel

his mother cried and prayed, but nothing helped

jeho matka plakala a modlila sa, ale nič nepomáhalo

despite her pleading, Aladdin did not mend his ways

napriek jej prosbám sa Aladdin nenaprav
