One day Aladdin met an old man, who told him all about a magic lamp. He said that anyone who rubbed the lamp would be given three wishes! Aladdin was amazed! He asked the old man where it was, and the old man led him to a cave. But the old man couldn’t be trusted.He just wanted the lamp for himself!

一天，阿拉丁遇見了一位老人。這位老人跟他講述了神燈的故事：誰擦亮神燈，誰就能實現三個愿望。阿拉丁十分驚奇，問老人哪里能找到神燈，老人帶他去了一個山洞。可是這個老人根本靠不住，他只是自己想得到神燈！

Aladdin went into the cave and found the lamp. He showed it to the old man. The old man took the lamp, but then kicked Aladdin back into the cave. This wasn’t the end! Aladdin grabbed the lamp just before he fell. Then the cave entrance collapsed! Aladdin was trapped with the lamp.

阿拉丁鉆進山洞，找到了神燈，他拿給老人辨認。老人接過神燈，馬上飛起一腳，把阿拉丁踢進山洞。但故事并沒有這樣結束！阿拉丁在掉進山洞的瞬間奪回了神燈。緊接著洞口就坍塌了，阿拉丁和神燈被困在了洞里。

The cave was in darkness. Aladdin was scared, but then he remembered the lamp! He rubbed it once, then rubbed it twice more. Suddenly a puff of smoke came out of the lamp! A bright shining blue genie was floating in the air in front of him!

山洞里一片漆黑，阿拉丁很害怕，這時他想到了神燈！他立刻擦了一下神燈，然后又擦了兩下。突然，神燈噴出了一縷煙霧，一個發(fā)亮的藍色精靈飄浮在阿拉丁面前！
