For two days Aladdin remained in the dark , crying and lamenting . At last he clasped his hands in prayer , and in so doing rubbed the ring , which the magician had forgotten to take from him . Immediately an enormous and frightful genie rose out of the earth , saying : `` What wouldst thou with me ? I am the Slave of the Ring , and will obey thee in all things . '' Aladdin fearlessly replied : `` Deliver me from this place ! '' whereupon the earth opened , and he found himself outside . As soon as his eyes could bear the light he went home , but fainted on the threshold . When he came to himself he told his mother what had passed , and showed her the lamp and the fruits he had gathered in the garden , which were , in reality , precious stones . He then asked for some food . `` Alas ! child , '' she said , `` I have nothing in the house , but I have spun a little cotton and will go and sell it . '' Aladdin bade her keep her cotton , for he would sell the lamp instead . As it was very dirty she began to rub it , that it might fetch a higher price . Instantly a hideous genie appeared , and asked what she would have . She fainted away , but Aladdin , snatching the lamp , said boldly : `` Fetch me something to eat ! '' The genie returned with a silver bowl , twelve silver plates containing rich meats , two silver cups , and two bottles of wine . Aladdin 's mother , when she came to herself , said : `` Whence comes this splendid feast ? '' `` Ask not , but eat , '' replied Aladdin . So they sat at breakfast till it was dinner-time , and Aladdin told his mother about the lamp . She begged him to sell it , and have nothing to do with devils .
`` No , '' said XXXXX , `` since chance hath made us aware of its virtues , we will use it , and the ring likewise , which I shall always wear on my finger . ''
