Day 12
In the evening they heard him on the stairs.
'Don't be afraid,' Aladdin said quietly to his wife. 'I am in the next room and can be with you in a second.' He went quickly into the next room and stood behind the door.
Abanazar opened the door of Badr-al-Budur's room and came in. He smiled: 'You are more beautiful every day, Badr-al-Budur,' he said. 'Your husband, that good-for-nothing Aladdin, is dead now. You must marry me. You can have gold, jewels, palaces, anything! But you must be my wife.'
For the first time the Princess smiled at Abanazar.
'Why not?' she said. 'You are a rich man and I am happy here. Yes, let's drink to that.'
And she gave him a tall gold cup with the drink and the powder in it.
'Let us drink from one cup, Abanazar,' she said, and smiled at him. 'You first, then me. In my country new husbands and wives always do this.'
'To Badr-al-Budur, the most beautiful woman in Morocco,' Abanazar said happily, 'and my wife.'
He looked into Badr-al-Budur's eyes and began to drink. Very afraid, the Princess watched him. But it was a good sleeping-powder, and after five seconds Abanazar's eyes closed and he was asleep.
The Princess ran to the door of the next room.
'Quick, Aladdin,' she called.
Aladdin ran in with his sword and saw the sleeping magician. 'Well done, my love!' he said. 'Now, go into the next room and do not watch.'
Badr-al-Budur ran to the next room and closed the door. Aladdin put his hand in Abanazar's pocket and took out the lamp. He put it carefully into the pocket of his coat, and then stood up.
The sword did its work quickly, and Abanazar never opened his eyes again.
The Princess came back into the room, and ran to Aladdin. He took her in his arms.
'The magician is dead,' he said. 'And now we can go home.' He began to rub the lamp...
WHOOSH! Fire and red smoke came from the lamp. The Princess watched, afraid.
'I am here, master,' said the jinnee of the lamp. 'What is your wish?'
'Carry this palace, Badr-al-Budur, and me back to our city in Arabia. But leave that dog, Abanazar, here.'
'To hear is to obey,' said the jinnee.
When the Sultan looked out of his window and saw Aladdin's palace again, he was a happy man. And when he took his daughter in his arms, he was the happiest man in Arabia.
From that day, Aladdin and Badr-al-Budur lived happily in their palace. They lived for many years, and had many children. But Aladdin always carried the magic lamp with him, day and night.
