Fish Soup Jamillah and Aladdin

I was delighted when Jamillah was born.

The seventh child is always a lucky child.

Her big brothers adored her and she adored them.

Her grandfather, Jiddo, told her magical stories, which is

how she learnt about me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Who drew that? I am way handsomer.

Jamillah grew up to be courageous.

One rainy day Jiddo sent her up to the attic to get

a box from his trunk.

Boy, was she in for a surprise.

If any genies are listening, could you give me a wish?

Your wish is my command!

STARTLED CRY

Listen, don't go dropping the lamp again, OK?

But greetings, Oh Wondrous One! Tell me your wish!

I wish for an adventure.

Slow down, Aladdin! You'll give yourself a stomach ache.

I wish we had more than just bread to eat.

When I was little, your grandmother used to make the tastiest fish soup.

I'd dip my bread in it and swallow it whole!

She used to tell me to slow down, too.

Bye! I'll be back!

What? What?

That will be two dinar.

This could take forever!

Whoops!

Hi! Good morning!

-Aladdin!

-Hey, Jamillah!

What are you queuing up for?

Fish. I'm making fish soup for my mother.

It's a surprise.

Isn't there some way to get to the front faster?

Not for us, we can't all be Grand Viziers, Sultans and Princesses...

-Hey! You look a bit like the princess today!

-Really? Thanks...

Come, come!

Because of this, you can pretend to be a princess,

and we can get fish!

-Are you kidding? I don't know how to be a princess.

-It's easy.

I've watched the Sultan's daughter on her royal walks.

You just have to wave your hand and throw money around.

Here take this.

And I have these.

All right, cover your head.

Attention! Attention! People of Baghdad!

I am proud to announce the arrival of Princess...

-(WHISPERING)

-Scheherazade!

Princess Scheherazade!

From the land of Samar...

Samaristan.

She has travelled 30 days and 30 nights, sailing on ships,

riding donkeys, just to taste the fish of Baghdad!

Thank you! So kind! Thank you!

For you, sir.

A special gift for you. And you.

I've never served a princess before! What fish would you like?

Actually, my servant knows what I want.

The Princess would like erm...

Those two fish. Right there.

They're too small for a princess. No.

I will give her the best and biggest fish I have.

For Princess Scheherazade!

CROWD CHEER

Thank you, so kind!

-(WHISPERING)

-I can't carry that!

It's too big. Just the smaller ones, please.

-Listen, servant boy, I insist...

-Servant? I'm not her servant!

Take the carp, even if you have to carry it on your head.

Excuse my servant.

Thank you very much for your gift.

I am NOT your servant! Ughhhh....

Princess, your servant is most welcome to borrow my cart.

-Thanks, but I'm not her servant.

-You are very kind.

Wait, don't I know you?

SHE COUGHS NERVOUSLY

I don't believe you do.

I'm certain that I've seen your face before...

Do not touch a princess. It is against the law.

I want to thank you, kind people of Baghdad, for my very big fish.

I shall tell my Kingdom wonderful stories about this very,

very special day!

-FISHMONGER:

-Long live Princess Scheherazade!

My Kingdom is far away, but I shall tell you a few things about it...

Only she can't! Cos we have to go!

Farewell! Till we meet again! Farewell!

Oh, I got a star.

Can you help, Jamillah? This is heavy!

Princesses really shouldn't push carts, you know.

But you're not actually a princess(!)

SPLASH!

-THEY LAUGH

-I'm dancing with a fish!

-Oh, no, it's ruined.

-Genie!

-We need Genie to help.

DISCO MUSIC PLAYS

Genie got the moves.

Slip Genie...

-Genie!

-Sing it, sister!

Sing it loud, sing it proud.

Hang on... that's Jamillah!

Hello, oh wondrous... Fishy Master... What have you been doing?

Moving a fish! Only he's too heavy...

-He was in the cart, but got away...

-And fell in the water...

-Totally his fault...

-I need to make fish soup for my mother!

-Easy! You don't need a Genie. A cook will do fine.

-I knew it!

I knew you weren't a princess!

Of course I'm not a princess. What are you talking about?

-Weren't you just...

-No.

-..wearing a...

-No.

I think you're mistaking me with Princess Scheherazade.

She went home already. But she left your cart.

My mistake. You're not a princess. You're a smelly, stinky vagabond!

Are you ready for my Fish Soup charm?

Sc-he-re-ra-zade, sc-he-re-ra-zay, turn this fish into soup - today!

-Yes!

-Awesome!

Mmmmm, is that fish soup?

You said how fish soup

was your favourite dinner, so here it is!

Blue?

I don't remember it being quite this colour.

Oh, um...it's a new recipe from the fishmonger.

It's delicious!

Thank you, darling babba.

All the best fish soup is blue, you know.

In Egypt, if you served Tutankhamen another colour,

he'd throw it out the window.

I'm so glad Aladdin got his soup.

Only, I feel bad about the fishmonger.

He was so nice to give me a fish, when I wasn't really a princess.

I wish I had something to give him in return.

Aladdin's last coin. We can use it to pay for the fish.

You are way cooler than any real Princess I've ever met.

Come on, let's go!

Every story has an ending.

And, eventually, Jamillah had to say goodbye to Baghdad.

It was nice to get home and see her family.

But Jamillah couldn't wait for her next adventure

with Aladdin and me, her brilliant Genie.

# So what is your wish, say, oh wondrous one?

# Just don't rock my lamp and your will is done

# No need for applause, yes, I'm number one

# A thousand years, in here, it's been too long

# Your genius genie, so smart and strong

# Shazam! Al Kazam! Aghh! It's all gone wrong

# She's Jamillah, she's a scamp

#I'm the Genie, from the lamp

# That's Aladdin, he's our lad

# In Old, Bagh-da-a-a-a-a-d

# She's Jamillah, she's a scamp

# I'm the Genie, from the lamp

# That's Aladdin, he's our lad

# In Old, Bagh-da-a-a-a-a-d

# She's Jamillah, she's a scamp

# I'm the Genie, from the lamp

# Blue soup? Made with fish?

# Darling Ba Ba, What a d-i-i-sh!

# La, la, la, la, la

# La, la, la, la, la
