How it begins

In a small house in the narrow streets of the old city, in the shade of an almond tree, there lived a boy named Aladdin. He had lost his father when he was little, and he and his mother Zehra got along well enough together. Every morning he went to the fountain with two clay jugs in his hands, and he gladly carried the water of his elderly neighbours too.

These are the tale's opening lines. The whole tale is read aloud in the app.
