Page 35 - Aladdin, or, The wonderful lamp

or his judgment* Seizing the lamp, he

answered in a firm tone of voice, **■ I ain
hungry* bring me something to eat*”

The genius disappeared* and returned a
moment after with a large silver basin,

which he carried on his head* and twelve
covered dishes of the same material filled

with the nicest meats, properly arranged,
and six loaves as white as snow upon as
many plates; two bottles of the most

excellent wine, and two silver cups in his
hand. He placed them all upon the

table and instantly vanished,
When Aladdin’s mother had recovered

from her fright, they both sat down to
their meal in the greatest delight imagin­

able, for never before had they eaten
such delicate meats or seen such splendid

dishes.
