One day, a stranger greeted Aladdin.
“Tell me, son,” said the stranger “Are you the son of the tailor?”
“Yes,” said Aladdin.
The stranger threw his arms around him “My dear nephew!” he cried “Your father was my brother! Now I learn he is dead! What a shame!”

Aladdin took the man to his mother She was surprised Her husband had never spoken of a brother, even so, she greeted the man kindly When he promised to help Aladdin become a merchant, she believed him.
