Aladdin And Hnsel & Gretel
Description
Description
“Aladdin” is one of the tales in “One Thousand and One Nights” and tells of a magic lamp containing a genie, who can make all wishes come true. Not everybody can find the lamp – only an innocent and kind-hearted person like Aladdin can. A greedy magician wants to get the lamp and pretends to be Aladdin’s long-lost uncle and they search for the magic lamp together. The magician then threatens not to free Aladdin from a cave unless he manages to find the lamp. Luckily, Aladdin’s best friend Koko, a parrot, rescues him. On their way home, they meet a beautiful princess, Jasmine. The princess and Aladdin fall in love and want to get married, but her father, a powerful sultan, refuses. In the end, with the help of the genie from the magic lamp, Jasmine and Aladdin get married and live happily ever after.
“Hansel and Gretel” is a well-known fairy tale of German origin, recorded by the Brothers Grimm. Hansel and Gretel lose their way in a forest in the evening. A sandman appears and makes them fall asleep. While they are asleep, the children are guarded by 14 guardian angels. The next morning, when they continue their way through the forest, they discover a witch’s house, which is entirely made of gingerbread. Hansel and Gretel cannot resist temptation and try a bit of the gingerbread. Suddenly the witch appears and casts a spell on them, and traps them like she has done to other children. Gretel is able to trick the old witch, who ends up in an oven and is turned into gingerbread herself. When the spell is broken, all children who had been turned into gingerbread by the wicked witch become free again and happily return to their parents.
