When Aladdin's mother arrived, the Sultan said, "So your son wants to marry my daughter. But first he must give me forty gold plates with jewels. Forty slave girls, with forty slaves, must carry the plates to me. Then my daughter can be his wife."
Aladdin's mother went home and told her son, and Aladdin smiled. This was easy for the spirit(神灵) of the lamp, of course, and the next day, when Aladdin went to the palace, everybody in the city came out to watch.
First came forty slave girls in dresses of gold, and every girl carried a gold plate with wonderful jewels on it. After them walked forty slaves in coats of gold. And last came Aladdin, on a beautiful white horse.
"What do you say now?" the Sultan said quietly to the Vizier, when he saw all these wonderful things. "Aladdin must marry my daughter. How can I say no?" And the Sultan went to Aladdin and took his hands. "My son," he said, "you can marry my daughter tonight."
"Tomorrow, Your Majesty," said Aladdin, "because, before I marry your daughter, she must have a palace—the most beautiful palace in Arabia."
The spirit of the lamp worked all night, and the next morning, the Sultan saw a beautiful new palace with gardens of fruit trees and flowers from his window.
"Wonderful!" he said. "Black magic!" said the Vizier quietly.
That night Aladdin married Badr-al-Budur and they lived happily in the new palace.
