the one who dared gaze on the Princess twice. Sultan! lt's real luck, my meeting you like this. l'm asking for the hand of Princess Boudour. - What did he say? - My tongue refuses to repeat it. Your daughter likes me and l like her. Only she says she won't marry me without your permission. Yes, sire. Our great Sultan asks whether you know, young man, that seventeen princes... Eighteen princes! That 19 princes have already come to ask for the fair Boudour's hand. She did tell me that. Before asking for marriage, you should offer the Sultan presents. - You mean rubies and emeralds? - Precisely! Oh, l forgot about that! l'll have them brought here right away. Do you have a treasure buried at your house? l've got no treasure. But l have a Genie friend. - What? - A Genie. Stay there! Throw him in the dungeon! Daughter of ours! - We're most displeased. - l'm the one who's displeased! You've refused all of the princes. There're no princes left. And you did it in order to end up in a beggar's hut. Don't you dare call him that bad name! - What name should l call him? - Aladdin! From now on we shall call by name every beggar and good-for-nothing. Shut up! Who is to shut up? Us? You will set him free at once and ask for his forgiveness. Those were your last words. We'll have you wedded today. - Try and see what happens. - l'll try. Well, so! - Remember it and write it down! - Write it down. We shall give our daughter and half our kingdom to... To the very first man to walk through that door. From now on, half our kingdom and our daughter belong to your son. Out of my way! Grab the Princess! No one has anything to suggest to us? - There is a way. - Speak up. Since your daughter went to Bagdad and acquired bad habits there, we should convince her that she never visited Bagdad. How? The Princess must be told it was just a dream. Since it was but a dream and nothing has happened to her, she will be obedient again. And the heart of our great Sultan will rejoice. And what does the Great Wiseman say? A dream's not that's not a dream, and not a dream is not a dream. So to say of not a dream that it's a dream is the same as to say of a dream that it's not. We order to say of a dream that it is not one, and of not a dream, that it's a dream... The Princess went nowhere. She dreamed it all. Everybody understood us? Be off with you! l even saw in a dream that l taught crocodiles to read in Persian. l have also dreamed that l was a minaret and that from my top the muezzins were crying. l have even dreamed that my hair walked to the bazaar to buy a comb. So what? So you've only dreamed about that beggar. lf l dreamed it, how come Mubarak fought with him? Mubarak! l'm told that yesterday you fought with some beggar. Yesterday l didn't go any place. l mean l hunted and killed... A lion. A lion! Yes! l remember it very well. l was in Bagdad and l saw a goat. - A what? - A goat. lt's true. And Mustafa brought me back to the palace. Mustafa! l'm told that yesterday... Who? Me? The last two days l spent in bed with a toothache. Our daughter Boudour, we're not angry with you. Tell me, it did happen, didn't it? You did scold me about Aladdin! l scolded you about Prince Abou Abdul ibn-Abdul... - No! Aladdin! - l've never heard of Aladdin. How can it be? Aladdin! Then l dreamed it. All this was just a dream. Tomorrow you'll lose your head. Any other news? Do you hear that music? l'm marrying Princess Boudour! Are you in there? l hear and obey. Have you no shame? What? Why did you let them throw Aladdin in a dungeon? All you had to do is to rub the lamp. - Couldn't you guess it yourself? - lt's not my concern. l knew it would end badly! Oh, my heart's joy! My little camel! Bring Aladdin back! Take your lamp and your Genie! l never want to see them again! l'll teach you how to fly on dragons! l'll ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Чебурашка на английском - текст Справка на английском - текст Письма мёртвого человека на английском - текст Винни-Пух идет в гости на английском - текст Сверхновая на английском |
