The genie appeared , and at the magician 's command carried him , together with the palace and the Princess in it , to a lonely place in Africa . Next morning the Sultan looked out of the window toward Aladdin 's palace and rubbed his eyes , for it was gone . He sent for the Vizier and asked what had become of the palace . The Vizier looked out too , and was lost in astonishment . He again put it down to enchantment , and this time the Sultan believed him , and sent thirty men on horseback to fetch Aladdin in chains . They met him riding home , bound him , and forced him to go with them on foot . The people , however , who loved him , followed , armed , to see that he came to no harm . He was carried before the Sultan , who ordered the executioner to cut off his head . The executioner made Aladdin kneel down , bandaged his eyes , and raised his scimitar to strike . At that instant the Vizier , who saw that the crowd had forced their way into the courtyard and were scaling the walls to rescue Aladdin , called to the executioner to stay his hand . The people , indeed , looked so threatening that the Sultan gave way and ordered Aladdin to be unbound , and pardoned him in the sight of the crowd . Aladdin now begged to know what he had done . `` False wretch ! '' said the Sultan , `` come thither , '' and showed him from the window the place where his palace had stood . Aladdin was so amazed that he could not say a word . `` 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 .
XXXXX three days he wandered about like a madman , asking everyone what had become of his palace , but they only laughed and pitied him .
