The Story of Aladdin is where this part begins. I would connect the two stories by having the old man turn out to be Aladdin and stumbling across this cave in his journeys. He would go through the cave and realize how psychadelic it was. Everything he touched would either help or harm him in a different way so he had to be careful. So after his many adventures through this cave, he would have finally come across a lamp at the end of the cave. He has
been through thick and thin trying to get to the end of the cave with the help,
and not so much help, from every little creature along the way. Aladdin has
finally made it to the end of the cave and has his hands on the lamp. He would
be shaking so much from his excitement that his hands accidentally brushed the
lamp, causing (you guessed it!) a genie to appear! But it would not be just an
ordinary genie. This genie definitely does not want to be let out of his lamp,
so when Aladdin let him out he was not very happy. This genie did know, though,
that he had a job to fulfil. So once the genie was released and saw who let him
out, he states the rules as simply and as quickly as he can. 1.) Be specific.
2.) Do not annoy me. And 3.) There are only three wishes I am allowed to grant.
So of course Aladdin would be shocked since he did not know what would be to
come from the lamp in the first place. The genie would go back into the lamp
until Aladdin knew what his wishes would be. After Aladdin has made his way out
of the cave with the lamp, he would think of all the things he could wish for
and find the many obstacles he would face trying to get what he wanted.
