Sultan: Hmmm… And who is this person that you are speaking of?
Aladdin:This person is me.(Says it weakly) Yes, it is me (Says it stronger. At first the Sultan frowns, but then he smiles, and then he starts to laugh. Aladdin and Jasmine pretend to laugh with him.)
Sultan: (He finally stops laughing) Guards take him away!
Aladdin:No wait! Please sir, listen to me. I am telling the truth… I can prove it!
Sultan: All right then, if you want to marry my daughter you must pass a test. There is a dragon that has been killing many of the villagers in my kingdom. Come to my palace before sunset tomorrow with the dragon’s head. If you kill him, you can marry my daughter
Aladdin:(Swallows) Very well sir. (He bows to the Sultan and winks at Jasmine.)
Jasmine:(The Sultan is dragging her out) Oh Aladdin you shouldn’t have done this!
SCENE 4
Aladdin:(Rubs lamp.Genie comes to life.) Boy am I glad to see you!
Genie: You look terrible what happened?
Aladdin:I fell in love.
Genie: Oh that explains it.
Aladdin:You said that you would do anything for me didn’t you?
Genie: Yes. I am your servant.
Aladdin:Excellent. Come with me into the village tonight… and together we must defeat a man-eating dragon.
Genie: (looks a bit scared and surprised) But, I thought that you just wanted new shoes?
Aladdin:Come on we don’t have much time! (They run out.)
Peddler:(Enters) Aladdin and the Genie went into the village later that night, and what did they see… a dragon, with long sharp teeth and evil green eyes. (We hear the roar of a dragon. The peddler jumps) Oh my god! Oh excuse me… now where was I? Ah yes. The dragon was breathing fire and had a thick cloud of smoke coming from his nose. Aladdin and his magic Genie fought with that dragon. And whom do you think won? (Waits for audience response) Hmm… well just watch and see.
SCENE 5
Sultan: (Looking at his watch) Well, it seems as if Mr. Aladdin has disappeared. I guess that he must the end of your foolish friend. Probably dead… (Just then Aladdin enters)
Aladdin:(He is carrying the head of a dragon) Father! I have passed your test sir. The dragon is dead.
Sultan: You amaze me Aladdin. You killed the dragon. I underestimated you. You shall marry my daughter.
Jasmine:Oh thank you father! (She runs to embrace him)
Sultan: Come. We shall plan the wedding feast! My son!
Aladdin:(Bows) Father. (Sultan exits) Oh I almost forgot. I have a present for you. (Aladdin pulls out the lamp.)
Jasmine:It’s beautiful, but it’s much too valuable.
Aladdin:A wedding present. (Jasmine takes the lamp and gives Aladdin a kiss.)
Aladdin:A…A… Aladdin. Please don’t hurt me.
Genie: (Bows to Aladdin) I am the genie of the lamp I will obey you.
I will do anything you ask. What is your command?
Aladdin:You mean that you live in this lamp and when I rub it you will come out and do anything I say?
Genie: (Nods) That is correct!
Aladdin:As-sa
Genie: I don’t understand.
Aladdin:Never mind. OK first I want to wish for some different clothes, some new shoes… no wait… first I wish that I could leave this place to see the rest of the world… no I wish… Wow who is that? She is beautiful! (Just then Jasmine enters. She is crying. She sits down. Aladdin makes a sign to the genie to keep quiet and crosses to her) Why are you crying?
