RE: One Thousand and One Nights: Aladdin and the Magic Lamp: 39th Night

in #story2 years ago

And Aladdin ordered his teenage genie servant to remove the body of the Maghrebian and burn it in the middle of the maidan square on a bed of manure and throw the ashes into the garbage pit. Which was executed punctually, in the presence of the entire assembled city, which rejoiced at this deserved punishment and the return of emir Aladdin in the good graces of the sultan.

The cruelty of the time is curious, not only the punishment in life but the humiliation after death.
Happiness is never complete and now the princess is worried about not having children. Will Aladdin use the powers of the lamp to please his beloved?
