0:00:03 > 0:00:06GENIE: I was delighted when Jamillah was born.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09The seventh child is always a lucky child.

0:00:10 > 0:00:14Her big brothers adored her, and she adored them.

0:00:17 > 0:00:18Her grandfather, Jiddo,

0:00:18 > 0:00:20told her magical stories,

0:00:20 > 0:00:22which is how she learned about me.

0:00:22 > 0:00:24Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26Who drew that? I'm way handsomer!

0:00:27 > 0:00:31Jamillah grew up to be courageous.

0:00:31 > 0:00:35One rainy day, Jiddo sent her up to the attic

0:00:35 > 0:00:36to get a box from his trunk.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47Boy, was she in for a surprise!

0:00:50 > 0:00:53If any genie is in this lamp,

0:00:53 > 0:00:55could you give me wish?

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Your wish is my command!

0:00:57 > 0:00:58Oh!

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Listen, don't go dropping the lamp again, OK?

0:01:04 > 0:01:09But, greetings, O wondrous one! Tell me your wish.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14I wish for...

0:01:15 > 0:01:17..adventure.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08The first mangoes of the season.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10I'm going to make a fortune today.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14Excuse me, kind sir, I am in need of some help.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17What you need is a bath.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Shoo! Away from my stall.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Er, here, you look hungry.

0:02:30 > 0:02:36Oh, the first kindness of the day.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Thank you, child!

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Citizens of Baghdad!

0:02:44 > 0:02:50Gather near, for I am the wisest man you shall ever hear.

0:02:50 > 0:02:55A piece of gold for your peace of mind.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59Advice like Akbar's you rarely find.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02Put a smile where you wear a frown,

0:03:02 > 0:03:06for Akbar the Wise has come to town.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08APPLAUSE

0:03:10 > 0:03:11Argh!

0:03:13 > 0:03:14Oh! I am so sorry!

0:03:15 > 0:03:17I've ruined your mango.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19I will get you a new one.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24Not many would trouble themselves for an old beggar.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Forget about the fruit, girl.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29It was an accident.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31OK.

0:03:31 > 0:03:36But I wonder, would you help me with something else?

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Of course. If I can.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44You see, I have an object more precious to me

0:03:44 > 0:03:46than anything in the world.

0:03:46 > 0:03:52And I need someone honest and kind to look after it.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55You see, I have to go somewhere today, and,

0:03:55 > 0:03:58well, I can't take it with me.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Well, what is it?

0:04:00 > 0:04:02You will learn, if you decide to help me.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06OK, I'll help you.

0:04:06 > 0:04:11How wonderful! Your kindness will not be forgotten.

0:04:13 > 0:04:18I will come back for it tonight, right here, at sunset.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Wowzah! Wow.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Mustafa, I've been working all day.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37You owe me ten dinar.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39It's a mango or nothing.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45People of Baghdad!

0:04:45 > 0:04:50In fact, customers of Mustafa,

0:04:50 > 0:04:53I have stacked huge crates,

0:04:53 > 0:04:55and I've swept up rotten fruit

0:04:55 > 0:04:58until I had blisters on my feet and my hands.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00And he refuses to pay me.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03No, no, no, no, no! The boy tells it wrong.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06- He's a troublemaker.- No!

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Ah! Let us ask Akbar the Wise!

0:05:09 > 0:05:14One mango when promised ten dinar.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Is that fair, Akbar?

0:05:21 > 0:05:25Cheat a cheat and we are glad.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Cheat a child and we'll know you're bad.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31Pay the boy what he is due, or Lady Fortune will frown on you.

0:05:34 > 0:05:35Fine.

0:05:38 > 0:05:39Thank you.

0:05:43 > 0:05:48Whoa, I've never seen a real emerald before.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50It's beautiful.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52No-one cheats Aladdin!

0:05:52 > 0:05:56Oh, hi, Jamillah, I didn't know you were there.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Where did you get that?

0:05:58 > 0:06:00A beggar asked Jamillah to look after it.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04What's a beggar doing with a ring like this?

0:06:04 > 0:06:05He must have stolen it.

0:06:05 > 0:06:06Hey!

0:06:07 > 0:06:10If he had stolen it, why would he give it to me?

0:06:10 > 0:06:13So YOU'D get blamed for it instead of him.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16If you get caught with a ring like this,

0:06:16 > 0:06:18you'll be thrown in the dungeon for years.

0:06:18 > 0:06:19We have to get rid of it.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22What if you're wrong?

0:06:22 > 0:06:24What if it is the beggar's ring

0:06:24 > 0:06:27and I'm not there to return it like I promised?

0:06:27 > 0:06:29We need to talk to someone wise.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37There is this man at the market called Akbar.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39He'll know what to do.

0:06:39 > 0:06:40OK, cool.

0:06:41 > 0:06:47Beard, spectacles, wisdom. Your wise genie at your service, O...

0:06:49 > 0:06:50Oh.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53So, what are we going to do?

0:06:53 > 0:06:56I shall keep this for now.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00And I will find out if any stolen rings have been reported.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04If the ring IS stolen, I will arrest the beggar at sunset.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08If it isn't, then you may return it safely.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18Thank you, Akbar. That sounds like a wise plan.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21I will see you back here at sunset.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33I'm rich!

0:07:33 > 0:07:35HE LAUGHS

0:07:51 > 0:07:52I hope Akbar has some news.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Where's the tent?

0:08:02 > 0:08:03Wasn't it right here?

0:08:07 > 0:08:08What's THAT?

0:08:18 > 0:08:21Aladdin, I think you might want to see this.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23"I'm sorry, young friends.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25"I've let you down.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29"The ring is now mine, and I've left town.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32"Don't be sad. Please, wipe your eyes.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34"Many have been outwitted by Akbar the Wise."

0:08:34 > 0:08:36He tricked us!

0:08:36 > 0:08:39And we trusted him!

0:08:39 > 0:08:40Genie!

0:08:43 > 0:08:45I was doing some spring-cleaning

0:08:45 > 0:08:48and I just so happened to find my Genie Record of Achievement.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52Quote - high scores in enlightenment, foresight, hindsight,

0:08:52 > 0:08:57reason and intelligence. Collectively known as "wisdom".

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Does Akbar have any such accolade?

0:09:00 > 0:09:04O mighty, wise genie! We are sorry.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07We never should have gone to see Akbar.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10He's stolen the ring and we need you to get it back.

0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Please!- Please!- Please!- Please!

0:09:14 > 0:09:16The rascal!

0:09:17 > 0:09:22Not to fear, young masters. Genie to the rescue!

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Faluka-falay, awada-away!

0:09:30 > 0:09:31Hop on.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Let's go get that ring.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43I don't see him.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50There he is! With the green turban on.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Leaving the city so soon, Akbar?

0:09:52 > 0:09:53Hold on, you two.

0:09:57 > 0:09:58Stop, Akbar!

0:10:02 > 0:10:07Karamotah, karamoo! Solam, sharaboo!

0:10:07 > 0:10:11- Check him.- Oh, where is it?

0:10:19 > 0:10:22His turban! Check his turban!

0:10:26 > 0:10:29A-ha!

0:10:30 > 0:10:34Cheat a cheat, and we'll be glad.

0:10:34 > 0:10:39But cheat a child, and we'll know you're bad.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50There are many who would have taken this for themselves.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54But you kept it safe for a poor beggar.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58I must now thank you.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00No need for thanks.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03Jiddo, my grandfather, said that you should help anyone who...

0:11:03 > 0:11:05BUGLES SOUND

0:11:08 > 0:11:10- CROWD GASPS - It's the Sultan!

0:11:12 > 0:11:17Each year, I, your Sultan, spend a day amongst my people,

0:11:17 > 0:11:21to see there is still kindness and honesty among you.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24Some of you have disappointed me,

0:11:24 > 0:11:29but today a young boy gave me fruit...

0:11:30 > 0:11:32..and a young girl proved

0:11:32 > 0:11:37that there is still kindness and honesty in Baghdad.

0:11:37 > 0:11:43And so, in honour of Jamillah, Aladdin and...

0:11:44 > 0:11:46- Bob.- Bob. Bob.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48Bob, that's his name.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50- And...Bob...- Yeah.

0:11:50 > 0:11:56tomorrow shall be a day of feasting for all at the palace!

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Awesome.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05Every story has an ending.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09And eventually Jamillah had to say goodbye to Baghdad.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12It was nice to get home and see her family,

0:12:12 > 0:12:15but Jamillah couldn't wait for her next adventure with Aladdin.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17And me, her brilliant genie.

0:12:21 > 0:12:27# So what is your wish? Say, O wondrous one

0:12:27 > 0:12:33# Just don't rock my lamp And your will is done

0:13:06 > 0:13:09# I'm the genie from the lamp

0:13:09 > 0:13:16# That's Aladdin, he's a lad In old Baghdad

0:13:16 > 0:13:20# She's Jamillah, she's a scamp
