Ahmed is a poor street boy in the city of Obedad, where he eeks out a meager existence carrying loads from the marketplace to the docks. One dishonest merchant cheats Ahmed out of his pitiful wages and all Ahmed has to show for his work is a tiny little bottle that dropped out of a basket he was carrying. He tries to clean it up, hoping to trade it for a piece of moldy bread, and rubs it on his clothes. Out comes some smoke and a small person who introduces himself as Goombah Magooch. "Are you a genie?" asks Ahmed.
"No. I don't think so. But I will serve you as long as you keep my bottle." |
