`` Where is my palace and my daughter ? '' demanded the Sultan . `` For the first I am not so deeply concerned , but my daughter I must have , and you must find her or lose your head . '' Aladdin begged for forty days in which to find her , promising , if he failed , to return and suffer death at the Sultan 's pleasure . His prayer was granted , and he went forth sadly from the Sultan 's presence . For three days he wandered about like a madman , asking everyone what had become of his palace , but they only laughed and pitied him . He came to the banks of a river , and knelt down to say his prayers before throwing himself in . In so doing he rubbed the magic ring he still wore . The genie he had seen in the cave appeared , and asked his will . `` Save my life , genie , '' said Aladdin , `` bring my palace back . '' `` That is not in my power , '' said the genie ; `` I am only the Slave of the Ring ; you must ask him of the lamp . '' `` Even so , '' said Aladdin , `` but thou canst take me to the palace , and set me down under my dear wife 's window . '' He at once found himself in Africa , under the window of the Princess , and fell asleep out of sheer weariness . He was awakened by the singing of the birds , and his heart was lighter . He saw plainly that all his misfortunes were owing to the loss of the lamp , and vainly wondered who had robbed him of it . That morning the Princess rose earlier than she had done since she had been carried into Africa by the magician , whose company she was forced to endure once a day . She , however , treated him so harshly that he dared not live there altogether . As she was dressing , one of her women looked out and saw Aladdin . The Princess ran and opened the window , and at the noise she made Aladdin looked up . She called to him to come to her , and great was the joy of these lovers at seeing each other again .
After he had kissed her Aladdin said : `` I beg of you , Princess , in God 's name , before we speak of anything else , for your own sake and mine , tell me that has become of an old lamp I left on the cornice in the hall XXXXX four-and-twenty windows , when I went a-hunting . ''
