The next day, the uncle led Aladdin out far beyond the city gates.
“I am, sir” replied Aladdin “ but he died a long while ago.” When the stranger heard this, he embraced Aladdin saying, “ My boy – I am your long lost uncle.” Aladdin ran home and told his mother all about this newly found relative, and she prepared supper for them all. A stranger came up to him and asked him if he was not the son of Mustapha the Tailor. A long time ago, in Persia, a poor boy called Aladdin was playing with his friends in the streets of his city.
